That wasn't my intent. I only wanted to illustrate that sexual intimacy is vitally important to some people, and especially so with many men. To say that men should be able to easily toss sex aside or be labelled as selfish if they don't shows a lack of respect and empathy. I would say exactly the same thing to any man who might write:

"Personally I think women CAN live without ever talking to men about their feelings...they're just selfish and only think about themselves."

I think that anyone choosing to be in a relationship enters into an unspoken agreement with their partner to respect their needs and to communicate and compromise when their needs conflict. In other words, Mishy’s husband wants to have sex and Mishy isn’t able to, so they both have a responsibility to talk to each other about it, understand that the other person’s desires aren’t wrong just because they’re opposite, and work out a plan for the future that they both agree with.
