Sex is a need as great as any other in our lives, to belittle it by calling it petty is putting unnecessarily pressure on yourself for it not being fulfilled .

As for believing your need is greater than anyone else is counter productive as to be honest I have not asked everyone else and am unlikely to get the chance to.

Other needs like to love and to be loved and social interaction have no more of a draw, however because of the stigmas associated with sex, where it your other needs that were being less than fulfilled you would only attract sympathy.

From what you have written you seem to love your partner greatly therefore unfortunately it is only up to you to decide how important in your world this unfulfilled need is and if you can substitute one of the others for this, as with going on a diet whilst you love cake if you eat enough carrots it can make you feel better.

The hope is that at one time or another your partner has fulfilled this need and that this is only a hiatus in their need and that things will return to normal in the future. The only solace that your really have is that with maturity (and this is not suggesting you are immature) each need become less.

If you believe that this particular need is too great in your life I for one couldn’t criticise you for doing anything that would be necessary to fulfil it.
