Can love exist without sex? yes......

They say men are from Mars and women from Venus. Women have sex to feel loved and men find love for sex. So, are love and sex inextricably linked? Can love exist without sex? Quite often, a woman considers love as the foundation of intimacy and a man considers sex to be the ultimate expression of love. Understanding how each views sex is important for sustaining a relationship and keeping love alive. But what is it that drives women closer to men - is it love that leads to lust or vice versa?

it can.sex is just one expression of love. if both the partners share a deep connection sex is not 'the most important part' of their relationship. I can say so because i have am in a long distance relationship, for years .. physical presence and proximity of course helps nurture a relationship but it is not a prerequisite. an emotional and mental connect, and trust is what matters the most.

Love binds body and soul. If one's spouse becomes incapacitated, is it not one's duty to honor one's commitment to lifetime caring? With today's financially elite, there seems to be a different mantra, e.g. ...Clinton, Woods, Terry, John Kennedy amongst others. A dilemma we all face, I suppose. One made more acute by religious manipulations...since time immmemorial. Back..

What does a man really want?

The modern man is a combination on the one hand, "old-school" values such as homer, loyalty and hard work and, on the other hand, a more contemporary set of beliefs about gender roles at a time when they are changing both at home and on the job, according to a poll.

AskMen's Great Male Survey polled over 87,000 men in the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom on a wide variety of lifestyle-related issues

And it revealed that today's men see a happy family as the ultimate status symbol, ahead of material possessions such as luxury cars and houses.

In fact, 78 percent of men surveyed said that marriage potential was either "very" or "somewhat" important when deciding on whom to date.

A similarly resounding 67 percent of men claim that marriage is a necessary institution and one in which they will participate.

In addition, an unequivocal 94 percent of men claim to feel entirely at ease in a relationship with a woman who earns more than they do.

Similarly, a whopping 64 percent of men claimed to cook at home and to enjoy doing so (only a paltry 5 percent claimed that cooking is "women's work").

The findings suggest that notions of what is male-appropriate and what is not are changing as traditional patterns of marital and family life change. However, our results show that not everything about modern masculinity is quite so flexible.

The survey revealed that more than three-quarters would never cheat on their wives or girlfriends and they expect the same in return, with loyalty the most important quality in a potential partner.

Thirty one percent of men feel that loyalty is the most important trait in a girlfriend or wife, easily beating out "sense of humor" (25 percent), "sense of caring" (24 percent) and "intelligence" (20 percent).

The importance of honour can be seen in a range of work-related contexts-56 percent of our respondents expressed a desire for a high level of professionalism in their colleagues so that they might be "inspired to act similarly" while only 6 percent expressed a desire for the reverse so that they might be made to "look better."

When asked whether they make an effort to be romantic with their partners, a compelling 78 percent of the sample claimed to do so either "very often" or "somewhat often."

Similarly, when asked what motivates them to make this effort, a persuasive 76 percent answered "feeling close to my partner," beating out "the possibility of sex" (16 percent) by a wide margin.

These findings suggest that men are deeply invested in emotional intimacy and that they work at cultivating it on a relatively regular basis.

AskMen.com editor Jamie Watt said the Australian man was "the best of both worlds" - forward thinking but traditionally chivalrous.

"Being an Australian man in 2010 means being an open-minded, fashion conscious, loving family man and an all-round top bloke," Askmen.com quoted him as saying.

10 foods that make you feel full....

More than how much you eat, what you eat determines the satisfaction level of a meal. Nutritionist Sneha Jain lists 10 foods that make you feel full, without making you fat.

Fatty Fish
Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids which, besides lowering cholesterol, also hasten the metabolism rate. Omega-3 fatty acids alter the level of leptin — a hormone that directly influences metabolism and determines whether you burn calories or store them as fat. Fish also provides ample protein and the best way to eat it is grilled, with steamed vegetables on the side.

Citrus Fruits
Fruits such as grapefruit, lemon, sweet lime, papaya, guava and tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C and fibre. Vitamin C helps the body process fat faster and also stimulates the amino acid known as carnitine — carnitine speeds up the body’s fat-burning capacity. Citrus fruits also have high water content and provide around 50 to 75 kcal, leaving us satiated for a longer period of time.

Green Vegetables
Spinach, asparagus and broccoli have a high thermic effect on the body and a low calorie density. This means that it’s almost impossible for them to be stored as fat because most of their calories are burned off in the digestion process. Apart from that, the fibre in these foods provides roughage and contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help you feel full.

Popcorn
Popcorn is rich in fibre and low on calories. Also, since eating it keeps our mouth busy for a longer time, the satiety levels are high. However stay away from the overly buttered, caramel and cheese cousins.

Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate which takes longer to digest — hence it releases energy slowly, keeping you feeling full for longer. It also keeps blood sugar and insulin levels stable, which helps prevent fat storage. Oatmeal is the most satisfying breakfast cereal, providing more protein per serving than any other grain. Mix it with yoghurt or skimmed milk and it’ll keep you full all morning.

Almond and Walnuts
Raw, unsalted nuts, especially almonds and walnuts, provide essential roughage, protein, fat, minerals and micronutrients. Munching on handfuls of these nuts keeps you full and energetic for longer without adding to your waistline.

Low-Fat Dairy Products
Skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yoghurt are a good source of calcium, which helps break down fat cells. Some studies indicate that not getting enough calcium may trigger the release of calcitrol, a hormone that causes fat storage.

Beans
Beans are high in fibre and a good source of protein. They also take longer to digest, making you feel full for a longer time. Also, protein has the highest satiety index (which determines how long will you feel full) than any other element.

Whole grains
Jowar, bajra and ragi contain complex carbohydrates, which release glucose slowly when broken down during digestion. The glucose helps in maintaining your blood sugars levels and combats sugar craving. They are also a rich source of fibre and Vitamin B complex that play an important role in metabolic control.

Apples
High water content and ample fibre is the reason why you feel full after eating an apple. An apple’s skin contains pectin soluble fibre that is a natural appetite suppressant. Seems like an apple a day keeps the weight away.
