Good Morning,
I have been thinking of the connection between
intimacy
affection
"love making"
and then what is really being w/held when a spouse w/holds Sex and/or SF?

I your (people who have had sex w/held) experiences, was affection/intimacy also w/held in conjuction w/ the w/ holding of sex?

I have also been thinking of the female responses and the male responses and how they are similar and how they are different.

I have noticed that females tend to w/hold because they don't feel 100% connected w/ their Hs.

I have notice from Ws who are telling of their Hs w/holding, that sex was w/held by their Hs primarily due to anger/resentment.
I have also noticed that there are more wives admitting w/holding than men admitting.
I have a hard time believing that there are are so few men here at MB who have w/held sex from their wives for long periods of time.

(I have another thread similar to this one up in Emotional Needs)

I would love to hear from more men who have w/held or who still w/hold.

Why do men have a more difficult time admitting than woman?

hmmmmm.....

I would love to read how different people here at MB define SEX vs. MAKING LOVE.

One may be w/holding sex, but are they making love?
