I love my wife. She's going through a period in which she has few sexual needs, and it's wearing on me. She is an extremely spiritual person, and perhaps for that reason, sex has never come easily to her. I am quite sexual and feel that sexual exploration is a vital part of my being. I view it as a manifestation of the life force that pulsates through each of us. It's not the only manifestation of that force, however, and it just so happens that for my wife it manifests in non-sexual ways. Not to say that she doesn't at times enjoy sex- just that to here it's not a necessary component of life. Thus my existential quandry. I want to explore a facet of life that my wife is indifferent to, yet we're bound to each of through our intense spiritual connection.
