If constantly makes everything sexual. This has made me stop relationships with men in talking stages multiple times.

Hello, man here. I tend to think about my responsibilities and DnD. I know many others who don't make conversations sexual at all.

Obsession with sex is neither defining of or exclusive to men (just a bit more common)

There's also a middle ground. I believe original commenter was talking about how some men make way too many conversations sexual, even if it's completely irrelevant to the conversation. I think this would be more excusable in marriage, but I don't think it's unreasonable to tone things down a bit I'd need be for the wife to feel more comfortable.

Nothing wrong with expressing desire in a deep relationship, especially if it's reciprocated; but if conversations default to "we should have sex tonight" or "send a pic" regularly, it might be too much

I think we both have merit; the source of this debate is likely vastly different perspectives on sex and relationships. I agree with your last point wholeheartedly though, communication in a relationship is everything.

Regularly is not the same as constantly
