His Need: Sexual Fulfillment
We often confuse sex and affection. Affection is an act of love that is not sexual and can be received from friends, relatives, children, and even pets. However, acts that can show affection, such as hugging and kissing, that are done with a sexual motive are actually sex, not affection.
Most people know whether or not they have a need for sex, but in case there is any uncertainty, these are some of the most obvious symptoms.
A sexual need usually predates your current relationship and is somewhat independent of your relationship. While you may have discovered a deep desire to make love to your spouse since you’ve been in love, it isn’t quite the same thing as a sexual need. Wanting to make love when you are in love is sometimes merely a reflection of wanting to be emotionally and physically close.
George Herbert Walker Bush was the last President to serve in World War II. Bush’s service during the war made him a genuine hero.
He was just 18 years old when he signed up and started preflight training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ten months later, he was commissioned on June 9, 1943, just a few days before his 19th birthday. That made him the youngest naval aviator at the time.
Bush flew 58 combat missions during the war. Given the call sign “Skin” because of his thin frame, his first duties were as a photographic officer on the USS San Jacinto. After his combat tour, he was reassigned to Norfolk Navy Base, where he helped train new pilots. He was honorably discharged in September 1945, after the Japanese surrendered.
For his service, he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, three Air Medals and a Presidential Unit Citation.
Sexual fantasies are usually a dead giveaway for a sexual need. Fantasies in general are good indicators of emotional needs – your most common fantasies usually reflecting your most important needs. If you have imagined what it would be like having your sexual need met in the most fulfilling ways, you probably have a sexual need. The more the fantasy is employed, the greater your need.
When you married, you and your spouse both promised to be faithful to each other for life. This means that you agreed to be each other’s only sexual partner “until death do us part.” You made this commitment because you trusted each other to meet your sexual needs, to be sexually available and responsive. The need for sex, then, is a very exclusive need, and if you have it, you will be very dependent on your spouse to meet it for you. You have no other ethical choice.

WWII Aircraft Nose Art
This would not be allowed today, but back in the 1940’s, WWII Fighters and bombers were utilized as a canvas for artwork… of a certain kind. Women of the day were depicted in mural-like form along the side of some of the nation’s most powerful aircraft.
Some men chose to think only of their special someone back home. Future president George Bush wrote the name of his sweetheart on the nose of each of this torpedo bombers as a Naval Aviator during World War II.
