This week in class we discussed the topic of sexual intimacy within a relationship and its importance and functions. One of the most interesting things that i learned during this weeks lessons was about some of the reasons and biology behind why men and women would desire sexual relations at certain times in their marriage.
It has been found in research that men typically would enjoy having sexual relations with their partner with the purpose in mind not just of gratification but with the goal of becoming closer to their partner both physically and emotionally. It seems to be a way to fulfill a sense of attachment that is desired for men so that they may be able to become more united with their spouse when they don't feel so close at that moment. now what is very interesting is that the typical women in the studies done on this subject have desired sexual relations with their spouse only after they feel comfortable enough and close enough to be able to be intimate with them.
From this is can be seen why men can be seen as always wanting sex, even during a time of struggle in the marriage. I find it fascinating that men have desires for sexual relations with the goal of closeness in mind when women would desire to have these relations only after they feel safe enough and close enough with their partner to trust them. its no wonder why sexual relations can become an area of conflict for couples.
