Thanks for being not-PC and tell the straightforward truth. The sexual connection in a relationship is paramount for most men (and many women as well), and ignoring or devaluing it is among the most destructive moves a partner can do.

Yes, of course a woman is much more than her body... but without that body, is not much likely that her man would have chosen her.

And to those who vehemently say "We're not animals!", you are sorely mistaken: we're still very much animals, and this is especially true in our mating choices (after all, how many people would want to partner with someone towards which they didn't feel any physical attraction?).
