I gotta agree with Polymirize. (Yet again.) Those sound like the goals of teenagers and/or virgins. Don't get me wrong, either. Sex is great. And it's a component of the fulfillment I feel in life. I wouldn't be nearly as happy, relaxed, or well-connected with my spouse without it. But it's not the be-all/end-all of life. And as a rule, it's not quite as important to women as it is to men. I have to admit, though, it's fairly important to me.

My life-fulfillment goals have a lot more to do with doing somethng good with the talents and abilities I've been given, ideally something that helps others who haven't been as lucky as most of us Americans are. Specifically right now, that goal involves finishing med school, practicing for a few years, then retiring early with my husband and working for Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).

I have to admit, Polymirize, that I just announced to my husband as I was reading this thread to him that if anything ever happens to him, I may change my goals to moving to the Chilean Andes with you. He said "You go for it, babe. Polymirize is a nice guy. Tell him I recommended he build that house with lots of extra mud-and-llama-dung insulation since you're so cold-natured."
