As a woman, I need sex like I need air!! Ok, I don't think anyone needs it like air, really, or else we'd die as soon as those puberty hormones kicked in. But, i get what you mean. However, as a woman, if I don't make love AND climax with my husband at the very least twice a month (preferably at least once a week), I practically go nuts! I get cranky, distant and don't feel as close to hubby.

"I disagree with the ladies here saying sex is for the satisfaction of both. It isn't always so for woman, and if we only wait for the times when it is we will be doing exactly what your opening paragraph says: sex once a month."

Oh, but I respectfully disagree. I am a woman who would love to make love with my husband nearly every day! Sex is for the satisfaction of both spouses, but yes, many women aren't as raring to go as their men and we have seasons where we cannot have intercourse, or get little physical pleasure out of it. Regardless, sex within marriage is about giving, too, and it is a blessing to give when it is a sacrifice of our selfishness to give. This goes for both spouses. Husbands should take the time and effort to study their wives and bring her pleasure and climax.
