I'm in a long-term, live-in relationship with a man I love.

Welcome to the board scootergrl,


I can't say I blame you..... and emotionally intimacy fuels sexual desire.


Here's a few books to try, read them to him, especially the first one:


Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman
Relationship Rescue, Phil McGraw
A Couple's Guide to Communication, John Mordechai Gottman

Welcome to the board scootergrl,


It is important to talk to him about this outside of the bedroom. Just sit him down and tell him exactly what it is that you want (whether it be more hugs, kisses, etc) and ask him if he thinks he will be able to give that to you. If he says no, than you have to decide if you can be happy in the relationship if no changes are made.


Best of luck to you.

I think communication is

Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
It was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth fr
