"In fact, I would argue that for many men, myself included, a woman's skill in all the other areas of life means very little when it comes to the cloud of this issue. I have seen it first hand. A woman will try to 'make up' for something lacking sexually by being a better...cook, cleaner, conversationalist, mother, etc. All of those things are nice to have in a woman who is already sexually fulfilling a man. But if the sex department isn't good, none of that other stuff really matters."
Have taken this almost verbatim from a relationships forum. I have seen this sentiment in many different form on there but this seems to sum it up. BTW "something lacking sexually" according the the other posts on the thread means not being prepared to do certain sex acts or not being enthusiastic enough, rather than never having sex. It's being given as a reason for infidelity in certain cases.
What this seems to be saying that no matter what a woman does, no matter how much or how little she personally enjoys sex (the right KIND of sex no less), no matter how much of herself she pours into the other areas of her relationship, no matter how many other things she may want or simply HAVE to put effort into (parenthood and career for example) her mans penis and her attention to it is the most important thing in her marriage.
Fucking depressing! Is that the way most men really feel? Or have I just been living in cloud cuckoo land all these years?
