From The Mind of the Married Man...

Thanks for the comments about our segment on sex and marriage. It was part of the sex and sexuality series running this month and we thought it was an important discussion to have.

For those who missed it, on Monday Farai and I had a four-way discussion with two marriage/relationship experts about the highs and lows of sex for married folks. We could have gone on for hours concerning this subject, and as the senior married person on the staff, I suppose I had the most experience on the panel.

Everyone had interesting points to make, but what struck me as I listened back to the discussion later, was how it invariably broke down into two camps: the male view vs. the female view. And that's okay, I guess. Men and women certainly see sex differently, and the ring on the finger doesn't change that very much.

What may be different here (or at least, that was our hope) was that the discussion brought honest feelings from both sides out in the open. We're considering returning to the subject in the future to perhaps explore it further and at greater depth. If we do, it would be helpful to hear the ideas/opinions/curious questions that any of you may want to contribute.

And the News & Views blog is the perfect forum for it.

So, what is your most interesting (but safe for publication!) story regarding sex and marriage?
