"*LOL* sometimes you gotta exchange coupons for backrubs...."

Both of you are right. Back rubs are good "bartering" currency and can be used to make things "spicy" and different.

[Quix]

I suppose my limited experience is one reason . . .

But personally, I can think of a lot more backrubs I've enjoyed than sexual experiences. On the one hand, it's kind of sad.

And on the other hand you have different fingers.

Errr . . .

And on the other hand sex could be overrated.

There used to be a tribe on the cold southern tip of South American which tended to wear no to little clothes and have sex totally and only for procreation and that very rarely. They thought it odd and disgusting that anyone would think anything else about it.

Personally, I like to think of it as a great mysterious example of Christ's Love for The Church.

Alas, the example far too routinely falls so far short of even hints of that mystery.

Perhaps it is because of such lack of sacrificial, servant-hearted Love freely exchanged between the partners in a list of other ways.
