		<description><![CDATA[Ok.  So first, I&#039;ve been married to my wife for 13 years.  Second, yes, as is fairly common, I weigh more than I did when I got married.  So does she.  This latter is a fact for which I care not at all.  Frankly, I wish she would care less about her weight because her self images influences her sexual desire. 
 
 
 
But, it turns out to be a pretty big problem for most of the couples that both my wife &amp; I know.  There is an enormous disparity in the sexual desire between husbands and wives.  And this disparity causes problems.  And it appears to be (mostly) the same thing: the husbands are more interested than the wives.  And not having an outlet for these biological desires has consequences that no one wants: temptation, flirtation and infidelity. 
 
 
 
Don&#039;t misunderstand: I&#039;m not saying that there&#039;s a 1:1 causal relationship here, nor am I saying that these consequences are justifiable.  But there is an increased risk of those consequences that results from a difference in sexual desire.  The closest analogy that I can come up with the need to use the restroom.  When you have ready access to a restroom, you can quite easily keep up certain standards for what constitutes a fine restroom to use.  But if you don&#039;t have that access, biological demand starts playing with those standards.  And if it goes on for too long, just about anything starts to look &quot;good enough&quot;. 
 
 
 
Do I think that it&#039;s a good idea to try and bridge what I&#039;ll call &quot;the libido gap&quot; with drugs?  I don&#039;t know.  But I do think it&#039;s a good idea to try.  Personally, if I could figure out something on my end to bridge the gap, I&#039;d happily do it. ]]></description>
