I (Mrs. intuition) had reservations about giving up the sexual exclusivity in our marriage. I guess I somehow felt that it would change the way we felt about one another. True, it IS something that you have to give up, but I was pleasantly surprised that our feelings for one another had only increased! Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. My husband and I have enjoyed the benefits of the elimination (or at least NEAR elimination) of jealousy, better communication, and the knowledge that your spouse loves you for YOU, not for the sex that you can provide. I think all we were really giving up was the right to say that our marriage was 'virgin'. Big deal.
