[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to have read the OP in the most uncharitable way and used it as a jumping off point to go off on the patriarchy. Others were trying to help the OP troubleshoot. You don't see troubleshooting as necessary, but it's a lot more productive for their marriage, of which his wife is a part.[/quote]

What would be productive for the marriage is OP thinking about some of the points brought up, how he may be prioritizing himself getting off over his wife's feelings, in a way that men have done for millennia that has had some truly horrific consequences.  And thinking about ways in which he can talk himself out of the sexual entitlement he was raised with as the result of growing up with a patriarchy. [/quote]

I don't get this at all. I'm a married middle aged woman with a higher sex drive than my husband.  It's chronically frustrating to do more than 50% of the emotional work and daily chores, and be in pretty good shape, and yet be told, directly or by omission," That's great honey but I'd rather watch TV than have sex with you."  I am entitled to sex. If I don't get it from him, I will get it elsewhere. Nothing to do with patriarchy, and sure as hell nothing to do with who works harder for the family, etc.  He just isn't interested in more regular sex.[/quote]

You could easily tell this post was from a man, probably that same poster who has started a few anti women threads, lol.[/quote]
