I'm relatively new to MRP, but I'm reading fervently. I actually already read (more like, studied) MMSLP several times right when it came out...so it's been a few years. I'm reading the other stuff too.

Questions:

What do I do about sex in the interim? Meaning, do I ever initiate? Do I only have sex if she wants it (e.g., if she offers "obligatory" sex that she isn't necessarily in the mood for, but knows I want)?

Also, if I haven't had sex, or at least had an orgasm, in a few days to a week, I go nuts and my own hamster starts running. Should I jerk off? Or should I stay the course and let the frustration be channeled into something positive? I ask because I'm older and if I have an orgasm, I can't have sex, should it come my way, for at least a few days.
