I know so many people who report either non-existant or really dull, boring sex lives with their spouses. Yet, if anybody cheated there'd be hell to pay. To me it begs the question of, if you don't want or desire your spouse, why should they be forced to just sit there and quietly wither away?

It kinda reminds me of kids that have an old favorite toy that they've outgrown or have no interest in, they no longer play with the toy but they'll throw a fit if mom goes to give it to another kid to play with.

Are our spouses's like toys ? We no longer want em but we'll throw a fit if somebody else does ?
