[quote=Anonymous]The problem with the "sex is not a right of marriage" argument is that the people saying this are only okay if this favors the partner who doesn't want sex.  You say that a frustrated spouse can just divorce their withholding spouse, but you don't really mean this. You would crucify a person for leaving the marriage because they were being made to feel rejected and inadequate by their withholding spouse. I'm a divorced woman whose spouse wouldn't have sex for years before he finally decided to divorce me and moved out. It was incredibly painful to have to act in public as if our marriage was normal and healthy when his rejection of me was heartbreaking.

If a husband who is a high earner decides to switch jobs and become a high school teacher, people think it's fine for his SAHM wife to divorce him.  But if that same SAHM wife who is perfectly healthy refuses to have sex with him because he's got the body of a middle aged man and has lost his hair, he can't divorce her without being pilloried by people. She's allowed to stop providing physical comfort and pleasure, but he's not allowed to stop providing cold hard cash. [/quote]
