Before I get flames galore for saying what I said, let me refer you to today's
Ann Lander's column where some poor guy has been married to a woman who
told him to go elsewhere for sex and hasn't gone to bed with him for 9 years.
The guy was bummed because he's the monogamous type and felt he wasn't good
enough looking to have a wife approved affair.

Two weeks ago on Saturday there was an Ann Landers column where a wife wrote
that hubby was caring, supportive, great in every way *except* he got grumpy
if they didn't have sex at least 3 times a week (which wifey thought was a
chore.)

In both situations, from the male perspective, this was/is a nightmare!  I
mean with all the media's hustling of wife/child abuse, horrible divorces
and such; even when the guy's good there's still a good chance he can
still lose.  I find the prospect of many people's elusive search for 
personal happiness very depressing.  There's just too much working against
anyone achieving or keeping it.
