WHAT IS the big preoccupation with sex?
Sex is the ultimate expression of absolutely nothing except satisfying a physical need (unless you want to procreate).
A relationship can be very fulfilling without sex being such a focal point. That does not mean that the relationship will be void of all forms of intimacy, of course not, just sex. For example, an increasing number of persons are engaging in oral sex because, according to them, this does not count as sex.
In some relationships, sex becomes an integral part because the couple has nothing else in common. My grandmother (God rest her soul), always told me the devil will find things for idle hands to do.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
Enjoy talking to each other, watching a movie, taking trips to the country, hanging out with mutual friends, preparing a meal together or trying some new sporting activity. All these are geared towards you getting to know and enjoy each other without it being physical.
The preoccupation with sex comes when one is purely attracted to the physical. If that's what you're attracted to, then that's all you'll have to enjoy. However, if you can see, appreciate and love the person for what they are, then that's what you'll enjoy.
You may say, but sex is important in a relationship. Yes, it is, but it's not the most important and not necessary. There are other ways to express your love without going all the way.
The husband store
A STORE that sells husbands just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store only once!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch ...you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband ...On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1: These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2: These men have jobs, love the Lord and love children
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6: You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
"Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!"
