I need intimacy, passion, and romance along with it to make it completely worthwhile.

This really validates one of the many emotional differences between men and women that I learned about many moons ago. A woman craves intimacy or "closeness" to a man in order to fully enjoy having sex with him. Whereas, on the other hand, a man craves sex with a woman in order to feel that same "closeness" to her.
Neither of these emotions is "better" or "worse" than the other. It's just the way we are naturally wired as men and women. And the beautiful thing about it is this. Although the male and the female "equations" here look different, the goal that each man and woman who are sexually attracted to each other wants to achieve is exactly the same. Intimacy. Closeness.
Men want that too ladies. Very much so! We just express ourselves about it differently. Now, TMV is 100% right. There is indeed a lesson here for men. BUT, there is also a lesson here for women too! So many women think they already understand men, but so many women absolutely do not. They really, really, really don't.
Both men AND women need to take time out to really learn about and understand what makes the other gender tick. When both men and women do that, they just might be shocked to discover that they're actually both trying to achieve the exact same thing when it comes to sex. Romance. Intimacy. Closeness. They just have a different way of showing it is all.
