Does a more equality marriage mean less sex??

I'm in awe and slightly intimidated..... Enjoy!

 

Hrm, it seems these high-quality academics who apparently decide how gender roles work would disagree with you... Another amazingly intellectual, fair, and balanced article from everyone's favorite totally-progressive non-misogynists!

Honestly though, I personally highly value a relatively egalitarian relationship - I think that might have something to do with my previously-mentioned affinity for very fit girls - it's generally a sign of strength of character and independence. I think in a modern world and a modern relationship, most duties should be delegated based on ability and preference, not so much on pre-defined gender roles, unless you're both completely apathetic about a given role or responsibility and just need a default tie-breaker.

 

Things have changed radically in my (relatively egalitarian) marriage. Cinco de Mayo was the first day in weeks that didn't feature a sexual interlude.

 

That list isn't 100% bad. I particularly agree with the "happy wife happy life" comment. Any guy saying that needs reality check, its encouraging diva behavior

 

i personally dont think it does. but thats mo. i think every woman is different and what makes it happen is what makes it happen

 

The problem tends to be, at least when I've seen it used by men and worse, women, is that its a one sided arrangement. I do everything I can to make my wife happy but its a two way arrangement. Her job is to equally keep me happy.

This sort of thing does not require a slogan style saying and should be fundamental for a healthy relationship.

 

I'd like to refute the notion that housework <> sex. My wife is far more likely to feel frisky as her level of stress reduces. Less housework to do means less stress which means more sex.

Happy wife, happy (sex) life.

 

The problem with the housework = sex issue is that for many the lack of sex isn't due to lack of time. You can google for this sort of thing and get story after story of the standard "help around the house" not being a cure to a sexless marriage. My wife and I had a lot more sex when we were lazy slobs around the house then we do as responsible adults. Thats due to age and general "newness" of the relationship. Biology and hormones are a harsh mistress.

 

As you know, I used to work in the condom trade.

We did three, six, and twelve pack for retail.

The reasoning is thus:

• A three pack is for teenagers. Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• A six pack is for college students. Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, Sunday night.
• A twelve pack is for husbands. January, February....

 

I understand that certain plans let you pay a top up fee to have an external contractor cover the shortfall.

Check your service agreement however as break clauses can be expensive.

 

I do all the housework, yet I have not had sex at all this year. Reducing my wife's stress level in one area simply means she will find something else to stress out about. I could transform our house to operating-room levels of cleanliness, for all the good it will do.
