Married at First Sight star Will Guess has been refraining from physical intimacy with his wife Jasmine McGriff since the start of Season 8 on Lifetime, and now his male co-stars are weighing in on why that might be.

A video clip played on Unfiltered of Will explaining that while there was "definitely an attraction" to his wife, he wanted to "dig deep on a mental level."
"Marriage is forever. She's not going to look like this for the rest of her life... [so] the mental connection is more sustainable," Will said in an episode.
AJ then chimed in and told Jamie he could "respect" Will's outlook on wanting to be challenged mentally by his spouse.
"It's undeniable that as people get older, their looks do fade -- in the eyes of someone younger," AJ said. "But in the eyes of your spouse as you guys age together, that beauty is going to remain constant."
Jamie then asked Keith whether he felt Will, 37, was missing chemistry in his marriage to Jasmine.
Keith, however, noted that Will was simply "not ready" for sex.
"Will is an intellectual type of guy. That turns him on. He's into smart women," Keith revealed. "I'm not getting the feeling [he's not into her]."
Jasmine, 29, also just so happens to be a very intelligent woman, who owns her own home. She obtained her Master's degree and works as an assistant director of adult community residential programs in Philadelphia, PA.

"Maybe he hasn't been open enough to let her know that he needs to be challenged intellectually too," AJ reasoned of Will, "and I just think as it evolves, it will come if it's right for both of them."

While both Keith and AJ have consummated their marriages at this point in the season, Luke has yet to willingly even make out with his wife other than one kiss he called "repulsive."
Luke, similar to Will's stance on the subject, has said he wants to get to know his wife better in order to make an attraction grow and be sure their first time is natural.
On Married at First Sight's eighth season, AJ is married to Stephanie Sersen, Luke tied the knot with Kate Sisk, and Keith's bride was Kristine Killingsworth. The show currently airs on Tuesday nights on Lifetime.
