Going on six months since the wife and I have had sex, even longer since we've made love...like almost seven years! Why am I still in this "relationship"? Because I'm a dumba$$!

No. It truly is not a need.

So your saying that it is NOT a need for life, but rather for happiness?

That would be a different OP.

You mean with another person? If so, I'm alive and well after 15+ years of not so much as a date. But if you're talking about...ahem...other means of sexual gratification, then...actually, I could probably still get by, but I wouldn't like it very much.

Touche? There's no need to throw this one to me, Doll Eyes. I don't think I have ever gone around telling that to women

In my mind that's sex. Whether or not there's genital orgasms involved doesn't matter. And the truth is most people won't do that sort of thing with just anybody. only with a sexual partner. So your point is disingenious. Not everybody has vanilla sex or a sexuality involved with placing tab A into slot B. But it's still sex.
