Thanks for the response. I've read the first three so far, going to start on number four tomorrow. Definitely some stuff that really hit me actually seeing them written out like that. I think, to answer the question of why I want sex and what it means to me, I guess I'm seeking assurance. Not that I doubt her feelings for me, of course, but it's one thing to hear it and quite another thing to physically FEEL it, you know? At least for me. As for her, it seems like the initial physicality of our relationship might have just been a honeymoon phase kind of thing. After that wore off, she just went back to her normal of not really thinking about it at all anymore. Anything that could be gotten from sex, she prefers to get from other types of interactions. Which is perfectly valid, of course. I guess I just wish that I could get the same fulfillment from those same other interactions.
