No, men don't "only" want sex - they want other things too - but they think it is necessary, and if you take it away, the marriage will fall apart.
Not really struggling. Just summarizing. Sex is the most important thing. Other things like work, food, alcohol, kids can be important. Women should prioritize sex over any other item for happy relationship. Men may be more forgiving if women don’t do those other things if sex is good.
This is what men and women need to teach their daughters based on many of the threads on this board.
Man here. Guilty as charged. Sex is THE most important thing to me and my gender. Yes, Teach your daughters and the world will be a happier place, divorce rates will plummet.

And what education should boys get about women?

short... succinct... and on point. End thread.
-signed a woman, married about 20 years, two kids.
So....you're ok with a guy that doesn't "care that much about kids"???
My DH cares a lot about me and our kids.
NP here. I am pretty sure my husband would die for our kids, but he isn’t really invested in their day to day. More like George Bailey than Atticus Finch.
exactly.
Of course my DH loves and cares for our kids, but he just doesn't care about day to day stuff as much. He does it because he knows I care about it. How many dads do you think research daycares and summer camps. I did all of it, and he has very little opinion about what summer camp our kids should go to.
Also, I bet most men don't really care if they have kids or not. Many go along with it because that's what the woman wants. IMO, most men would probably be happy not having kids so that they don't have to be responsible for anyone but themselves.

One more thing to add to this summary from that other thread on cheating rates: majority of UMC men will cheat over their lifetime just because they can.
That’s the summary from reading what men post here.
Except you’re pretending people aren’t quoting stats under 50%. So you’re lying.

So it’s mainly about sex as OP asked?
