I react the way you do, Beth. > Kayembee Odd, when I'm at that point in a relationship, if I think the relationship is developing and not at a standstill, I become quite mellow about the whole sexual aspect of things. I figure that I'm getting most of my real satisfaction from the affection and intimacy that can be growing before a relationship has become phyisical. The preoccupation I feel in between relationships is probably just a physical result of a mental need. Hurm, does this seem to be just the opposite the stereotypical situation here.
