Ow Alexander, what a marvelous post. The extent with which you feel comfortable with the English language simply fascinates me! I find it truly impressive.

As for the post itself, well ... I was in tears of (nervous) laughter at the discrepancy between men and women when it comes to how many sexual partners they idealize for themselves in their life time. Oh my God! 😂

Your post delivers so much insight into the conflict couples in long-term relationships face in terms of desire and sexuality, which I have seen over and over again. More and more I see long-term couples' sexual lives as a zero sum game, a dangerous game that can brew much resentment. Something which I assumed would no longer be an issue after a couple reaches a certain age (I must say that I was surprised by the findings from the research that looked into older people).

I can see myself coming back to this later on as it has inspired me greatly to discuss further, here on the platform, the issues these differences can give rise to, and how important it is to address them. I will sure be citing it! :)

Ps: Well done for typing the loong quote from the PDF document! Much, much better than a 'one-liner'. Here, you deserve a star 🌟 😛

You take care ❤
