I meant compatability.
I understand the concept that women understand women......but that only goes so far. Conversely it is understood that men understand men....but again that only goes so far. I think that there is a level of understanding that the opposite sex has for the other that is not known themselves. My favorite question for women when talking about dating/relationship advice for men is....."how many women have you dated/been with?" they think they know, but they have no clue how to date a woman. Ask a lesbian that dates feminine women and you'll get a better response.
anyway....
I guess i'll add to my statement. The extent to which a woman is willing to please her man is directly proportional to how "into" him she is. While Kis, you might have your limits a woman that loves me more and wants to keep me would surpass those limits to keep me happy in the bedroom. Every woman has her limits no doubt, but it's like all things in life, if you want it bad enough you'll make sacrifices for it. Guys do it too, usually in different ways though.
Anyway this wasn't my point. While I haven't been married I do know that a lack of intimacy is one of the warning signs of a marriage that is about to fail. The withdrawl doesn't nessesarily mean it's over...but it's a good sign that things need to get fixed or start looking for that apartment on Craigslist.

Lack of intimacy is one thing, doing ANYTHING for a man in the bedroom is another. Unless she's the total nymph (and nothing wrong with that btw) she's going to have some boundaries. If she's willing to let you disrespect those boundaries in order for you to stay with you, why even bother when you can get your freak on with someone more sexually compatible for you? I wish a man would tell me that if I don't give him everything he wants in the bedroom he won't stay. I'd gladly show him the door because I'm not a free ho, thank you very much.
And sex is not the only thing anyone should consider in a relationship; that's the worst thing to make a priority. I'd rather have a man and deal with average sex than a man who can swing the chandeliers in the bedroom and be otherwise worthless to me. Because you can always improve sexual performance and experience, but it is very hard to transplant a personality.
In other words, if a woman has to submit to any and everything in the bedroom in order to please a man, maybe she's with the wrong man.
And yes, gentlemen, it works the same way in reverse.
All right. Let's say your spouse comes up to u and tells u that she hates to be tickled and she will never let u tickle hers again as long as ur married. What do u do? Honor your vows or find someone who accepts ur fetish? Discuss.
Laugh out loud. I'm no longer allowed to use "LOL".
Ok. I never said do "ANYTHING" for your man in the bedroom. It's not even a gender related argument. Everyone has their boundaries. What I’m saying is that the distance to which someone will surpass those boundaries is directly related to how much they're into that person. Example: As a kid the thought of oral sex disgusted me. But as a young man in love I realized the pleasure I could give my woman was more important than my comfort zone so I relented. I didn't like the previous women enough to do it for them.....despite liking them.
When it comes to a committed relationship it is best in my opinion to deny one's partner very little when it comes to sex. Why only sex you ask? I'm glad you asked! If I deny my girl company to go to the spa with her, she can find someone else and not cheat. If my girl won't go to the ball game with me ...no biggie...I’ll go with someone else and still be faithful. If my girl says no tickling....I’m in a bind. I can't tickle another girl without me being unfaithful. If I tell my girl I won't give her oral pleasure....she's in a bind. It's something she loves but she can't get it without breaking our bond. Of course we can both go without, but at the expense of our quality of life. We must then evaluate how much we care for one another to cross these boundaries....or simply marginalize the joy that those sexual acts bring in. But sadly temptation always creeps in and hearts are broken. If you're really into someone you should do everything you can to keep them…especially in the bedroom....or risk losing them. At least the guy you mentioned that said "if you don't give me everything I want I’ll leave" has the foresight to know what makes him happy. Most men/women will stay in the relationship miserable or worse, look outside of the relationship and cheat. At least that guy would leave you with your confidence intact and he’ll leave with his integrity intact.
Sex is not the only thing to consider in a relationship....but without sex you're just really good friends. You can tell your deepest secrets and share the greatest joys with other people....but sex in a committed relationship is reserved for only one person. Those in successful relationships don't forget that. There are numerous things that keep a relationship together, but for most….especially in my age group 20’s-30’s(40’s and up may have different priorities but are still human with needs) not having the sexual aspect of the relationship in check invites a HOST of problems. This is especially true for individuals that have many options when it comes to sexual partners.

Kick her ass to the curb .
Agreed. Personality lends itself to physical attraction and physical attraction will make that hottie with the annoying personality and voice more tolerable.
LMAO at "funhouse mirror"! LOL. How does that happen!?
Sex is NOT the only aspect of a relationship; yes, it's very important, but should not be the first consideration on the table. When two people are truly committed, the sexual aspects take care of themselves IMO. I've been with men where the sex started out okay/average but with time was awesome. That is because you get to know each other better as well as each other's bodies. If you truly love each other, you will find ways that'll please each other in bed to make you both happy, not making it conditional in the relationship. I believe the more pressure you put on a relationship, the better chance it has to bite you in the butt later on.
If a man tells me that if I don't do what I need to please him in the bedroom, he'll find someone else, we have a really big problem that I'm not willing to put myself through. Relationships are about compromise so if one is in a truly loving committed relationship (not just sleeping around) then it's time to grow up and realize that it's about sharing and giving, not demanding and possibly stressing your partner out. Personally I believe that the man sets the tone in the bedroom; so if he's not getting it like he wants it he needs to get in the mirror and figure it out himself instead of dumping on his partner. I also believe that a man who is truly skilled in the bedroom won't get a lot of pushback from his partner when it's time to try new things.
Oh, and you'll be in your 40s soon enough; sex is a very important factor there too. To be exact, sex took on a completely different meaning after I turned 40........it's been the best I've ever had! I have more confidence in myself and know what I like and dislike in the bedroom and even though I've tried lots of new things, I won't try any and every thing.
