All it does is tighten the connection between those involved. <BR/><BR/>It does have to be there and enjoyed. My marriage...struggles with this and it makes my marriage really hard...that and no emotional connection. So in a way it feels a lot like I'm trying to build a house without bricks and mortar...hmmm...One of So Manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079854483497796201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450854270080513022.post-45915373316839922052008-01-14T20:50:00.000-08:002008-01-14T20:50:00.000-08:00Thank you.Finally a voice saying what I feel press...Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Finally a voice saying what I feel pressured to keep silent: "Sex does matter. Sex is healthy. Sex is an important part of a relationship."<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying we should all go get involved in a sexual relationship, but I really don't think it's healthy to avoid intimacy nor is it healthy to fake intimacy. I think, in cases like Samantha, gay people can have real healthy intimacy with someone of the opposite sex. I think, however, that in such cases where that doesn't happen, something else needs to be done.Daniel (Old Account)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09853938564287982268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450854270080513022.post-30714921365838379652008-01-14T19:35:00.000-08:002008-01-14T19:35:00.000-08:00Thank you for posting this.

Of course, it doesn't magically create the natural "attraction" that most heteros experience, but it puts things into perspective. Especially when he says "It has little to do with appearances or lust, but everything to do with connection and spirituality." I really need to remember that.The Impossible Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085185367011832570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450854270080513022.post-63633821207069159252008-01-14T13:35:00.000-08:002008-01-14T13:35:00.000-08:00You know, while I understand where he's coming fro...You know, while I understand where he's coming from, he absolutely has no idea what he's talking about when discussing MOM's. Having experienced both homo and heterosexual experiences, I would count myself a little more informed than he is. And I suppose I get a little bit worked up about this because one day it would be nice not to have my marriage (which did not happen out of fear of God, family, or religion--since I really wasn't into that at the time and I stopped caring what my family thought when I was abot 13) knocked by heterosexuals <I>and</I> homosexuals. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, I made my choice without realizing I would ever need to defend it. However, even knowing what I know now--I would make the same choice again. And I will never apologize for it.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216416424593449924noreply@blogger.com
