i'm horrified by how emasculated men have become in general. sure, every relationship has it's individual traits and every couple will get various different things they need out of being with each other. that said, the whole point of a relationship is abstaining from sex with everyone else so that the 2 of you can grow more intimate emotionally in a secure environment. with that comes a responsibility to fullfill your partners needs. otherwise, why commit?
i say you set the bar early, and as a man it's your job to do that and stick to your guns when tested on the boundaries you set. in general, women have a fundamental need for mostly emotional attention and men have the same need of physical affection. relationships get very damaged when either partner withholds one from the other, especially as punishment or "as a weapon".
i don't think it's unreasonable at all to establish "sex-on-demand" in any relationship. the complication comes when you don't define this kind of thing and than fight over where to set the bar your whole relationship after that.
