| I just finished reading the who here has divorced because of lack of sex thread. Fascinating! Unfortunately, also a bit all over the place. But THOUND's subsequent question and a number of the responses poses a question that I've held for some time. Is sex a physical act or an emotional act? Obviously, it could be both. But I believe its true value is exposed when it's denied, or at least in the basest manner in which it is accepted. The discussions about having "corpse sex" (or corps sex as the original poster put it :) ) indicates that it's purely physical, or why would anyone debase themselves to participate in that format? Yet other comments about it being soul-destroying indicates that its more emotional. Then the comments about hiring someone else to fulfill the unmet needs in a completely non-emotional, detached manner points again to it being purely physical. Some books like Sex-starved Marriage claim that it's emotional. On the other hand, one-night-stands where the dude doesn't even know the gals name are the theme of many popular TV shows. So which is it? Or does it vary by individual? ETA: To clarify, if it was taken away, what would you miss the most? The physical aspect or emotional? | |||
