[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people actually consider sex to be an integral part of marriage. It produces children, which are important to many people. It's also fun, and many people value that. I think that people who are in a romantic relationship generally feel entitled to sex, because that's one thing that differentiates the close emotional relationship I have with my husband and the close emotional bond I have with my best lady friend.

When my husband and I have sex, it's because we don't want to. If one of us doesn't want to, we don't. The only way we know whether we want it is to ask, but I generally assume that he wants me and he generally assumes I want him. Is that entitled?

The example of marital rape (which is what you're talking about with the "lie back and think of England") and husband entitlement does not apply to the Brock Turner story. He wasn't married to her. He wasn't in a relationship with her. He targeted her at a party and had sexual contact with her when she was unconscious. Back away from the outrage about this "not getting discussed" in this instance. It doesn't apply.[/quote]

But he still felt entitled to sexual access to a woman who did not want it.  Just like many of the men here do.

I actually here men talking about how their wives agreed to have sex with them but "just laid there"!  Um, no shit Sherlock!  Because she didnt want to have sex with you!!!  When you coerce someone into having sex despite their wishes, you are definitely on the rape spectrum, if not outright committing rape.[/quote]

Well, if their wives "agreed to have sex with them" that would be one really key difference from the Brock Turner story. Also their wives are in longterm relationships with them, not strangers who they "met" at a party a few hours before and have no recollection of due to being unconscious.[/quote]
