This impact, in my opinion, is why the denial thing is a weapon to be used carefully. It turns my wife on to have that power over me, and we play with it fantasy-wise, but my desire for her now is strong, and we both want it to remain so. If husband's get used to the fact that they are UNABLE to satisfy their wives, then it winds up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy because I feel like in general, this space is so challenging for men, that unless there is some kind of competition, we wind up deferring ... So for example... It's clear that my wife prefers having bigger cock in her, and the filling they give her is superior to what I give her. That said... I give her a lot of pleasure, and the combination of lovemaking and familiarity we have over many years to being married and being together means she has great pleasure from that experience as well, though it may be different.
We may play with denial as part of a fantasy, but this whole not being sexually connected for months or goodness years at a time, I think is dangerous for relationships....
We have to respect one another enough to voice when we are feeling that disconnect, and prioritize each other to make sure the connection is always there. Our intention with this lifestyle is as an enhance to our marital pleasure, not as a replacement...
