[GoneGirl]

In regard to myself, I have an expectation that my ability to engage in sex is still present, but now tied exclusively to an emotional attachment to the person with whom I would be engaging in said activity. Simple sex without that emotional love is, for, me, I believe a thing of the past.

Yes, oh my yes. This is my experience as well. The emotional attachment becomes crucial to intimate relations. I'm sorry that that formula is now absent in your marriage, Sammie. Maybe the situation will right itself in time. One can only hope.
