“Significantly and surprisingly, says Kleinplatz, the study found two areas on which participants placed extremely little importance: intense physical sensation and orgasm, and lust, desire, chemistry and attraction.”

But Daniel Bergner’s long January 2009 NY Times magazine article “What Do Women Want?” says this, in part, discussing the work of sexologist and research Dr. Marta Meana:

“The generally accepted therapeutic notion that, for women, incubating intimacy leads to better sex is, Meana told me, often misguided. “Really,” she said, “women’s desire is not relational, it’s narcissistic” — it is dominated by the yearnings of “self-love,” by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need.”

Basically, being desired is the ultimate turn on.

Umm…. who’s right? Because they both can’t be right for the same people.

Maybe the answer is that each is right for different people, and they key to decent long term sex in a marriage is for the guy’s style to match up to the woman’s style. That is, a high-desire guy better match with a high-desire woman, and a high-intimacy guy better match with a high-intimacy woman

If they do? Good. If not? Yikes.
