Love is not sex.
It can be a way of expressing love. I think your statement is way too general. You can have love without sex or sex without love. You can't generalize about the relationship between the two.
No it’s not. It’s a way to satisfy a physical pleasure. It’s not love.
It can be purely about physical pleasure, but it can also be a powerful way of expressing love. Not the only way to express love, of course, but a powerful way.
I don't know why that's controversial.
It’s one way.., not the only way, why is that controversial.
When did I say it was the only way? PPs have said "It's a way to satisfy physical pleasure. It's not love." That's simply untrue.

If there came a time when she didn't want sex, she wouldn't do it anyway "for the sake of our marriage," or to not break my heart. She just wouldn't do it and I'd move on to the next. If there is one thing I've learned from this board, if you don't want to get stuck in sexless marriage, don't get married. You have all scared me straight and I thank you for that.
Same here brother!
