How Important Is Sex For Women?

Ingrid: It doesn't have to be that way. Why is it that you're in the mood to make love all the time while you're dating, but once that ring is on your finger, suddenly enjoying great sex and satisfying your man sexually doesn't make the list of "things to do"?

Suzan: I agree with Jennifer, once a couple gets married, sex slows down.

Ingrid: Just like with anything in a relationship, you have to make time for lovemaking. You don't necessarily have to make appointments with each other, but just take the time to appreciate each other physically and mentally. If you do that, chances are your husbands will never stray.

Suzan: You make it sound as though if a man cheats, it's his woman's fault.

Ingrid: Granted, there are guys out there who are just rotten, but for the most part, many guys who commit adultery do so because there's something amiss in the relationship. That's something to think about ladies.

Lucy: Well, before my ex and I were married, we were making love at least four times a week — and I'm talking quality lovemaking. But once we were married, he suddenly had no time for me. I thought things would continue the way they were beforehand. Ultimately, after a year of sexual deprivation, I ended up sleeping with someone else and told him. So I guess [Ingrid's] point works both ways.

Ladies, thank you for your very interesting points. I wish you all luck in your relationship ventures.

women's point

Ingrid, I thought, made some valid points. How can anyone agree to spend their lives with someone when they don't plan to make the effort to satisfy each other's needs mentally and physically?

Just like couples should discuss important issues like children, finances and the like, sex should be added to the list so that there's no confusion down the road. Of the many married women I know, a few have changed their MO when it comes to sexual behavior, but the majority have kept up their appetites.

So before you delve into a committed relationship, make sure that you have all ends covered and don't be afraid to discuss what you expect — both in and out of the bedroom.
