First of all, thank you all for all of the great advice. I am really glad to have a place to ask the questions on my mind without worrying about being judged.
My thoughts on this were that love and sex can be intertwined at times and other times sex is just sex. That is what I'm looking for, a great sexual experience. An experience where I can treat myself and forget about all of life's daily stressors. Like I said, I'm not looking for love. In my mind all of this made sense but I was still hesitant an a little nervous and wasn't sure why.
Miss Sophia, thank you very much for the female's perspective. I will continue to be a husband to my SO. I'm wondering if it will make me better because I won't have those lingering urges which may interfere with our relationship.
Thank you again Contraman and bcguy42 for sharing your experience and advice also.
