[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I have had a below average sex life all along, and lately it's been pretty much nonexistent. I was a virgin when we married and honestly I have never really liked sex. He told me recently after an argument about sex that "when we got married you agreed to give your body to me." What?? I know, he's not attacking me, so I don't want to say he's all rapey, and we actually get along quite well in other areas, but am I wrong to think that was a horrible thing to say? Do we give our bodies to our husbands when we marry them? [/quote]

Why the hell else would a man want to get married?

[b]Marriage is an EXPLICIT agreement - consent - to have sex.[/b] DUH![/quote]

So if consent is given at the altar, then that is blanket consent, and therefore there is no such thing as marital rape - since blanket consent was given at the wedding.

Is that right?[/quote]

No, quit being deliberately obtuse. It's not consent to have sex even when one doesn't feel like it, all the time, no matter what. But it's an implicit agreement that in lieu of sex being pursued with others outside the marriage, sex WILL BE happening inside the marriage. If you cut that off without a damn good reason like cancer or some other debilitating illness, you have broken your vows as well. Don't then be surprised when your partner in turn breaks theirs by getting sex outside the marriage in which it is not occurring.[/quote]
