To: Motherbear; gridlock

GL ""Sexual attraction is like duct tape. It sticks really well the first time, but if you peel it off it doesn't stick so well the next time. After five or six go 'rounds, it hardly sticks at all...""
MB "Well, I can see that you are still stuck at the emotional level of a fourteen year old."

I think what gridlock meant was that sexual attraction alone is insufficient to sustain a long-term relationship.

I think what gridlock meant was that sex makes a strong bond with your first partner. That breakup with your first sexual partner is most painful and difficult (assuming there was a relationship to break from). Then, with each successive partner, the bond is less strong and the breakup less painful (easier).

I don't think GL was applying the duct tape theory to marriage. Although I do think that marriage is much more fun if you keep a case of duct tape on hand at all times ;)

...perhaps gridlock will clarify?
