The former, allowing your spouse access to your body but not to your self, allows for relieving the biological desire for sex while missing the mark completely on the connective aspect of sex.  If you&#8217;re a spouse that isn&#8217;t having that biological desire for sex met then having your spouse allow you access to their body for your own pleasure may seem like you&#8217;ve hit the jackpot but it will last only for awhile.  Unless you&#8217;re a total oaf you&#8217;ll eventually recognize this one sided type of sexual expression as hollow and grow bored with it.<\/p>\n<p>Once boredom hits you&#8217;ll begin pushing for changes.
