Let’s face it. The traditional notion of a marriage being consummated by sexual intercourse was de facto abolished in this country by Tony Kennedy’s Obergefell decision. It takes a man and woman to engage in coitus. No matter what forms of sodomy or mutual masturbation that the “pride crowd” engages in, they aren’t the reproductive act. So, the notion of “consummation” is out the window.
So then, the law requires married couples to engage in some kind of “intimate act,” even if that act is risky or dangerous.
