It's not about putting a woman on a pedestal, it's about a man's desire for sex. Let me ask you a general question: have you ever turned down sex with a woman you are in a relationship with because you didn't feel like it? I know I never have. I've turned down women I've just met, and women I weren't dating, but never someone I was involved with and cared about, not even if I was sick or injured. In my experience, most men who turn down sex with women they are involved with do so because they are either 1) not interested in her anymore, or 2) getting it from somewhere else.
