In our culture, sexuality is repressed, not celebrated, which leads to sexual dissatisfaction by both partners, causing many dysfunctions. And while men have their dysfunctions manifest in ways which are easily identified, women, a portion of them, will have their dysfunctionality manifest in ways which are more subtle and less addressed.
Men are told to curb their appetites. And I know it's a gross overgeneralization, but I did ask a counselor once, what percentage of your practice involves male and female frigidity in marriage. Answer a lot. What percentage of it is male and what percentage is female? Answer, only one man in 25 years, the rest, 1000s, female. These were almost exclusively LDS.
So obviously our marriage relationships are not fulfilling a significant purpose, attributable in no small part to the difficult to experience meaningful intimacy in our culture.
