“It really doesn’t matter to me who is to blame.”

It should.

I don’t know any of the other circumstances, and so will not comment further.

[rintense]

The singer, Kina, had a great song about this called 'Give and Take':

This is no way to live
Holdin on to the times called better
We gotta fight everyday
But still not wanting to say, "Let's end"

And it's me you say that
Never does the things you want me to do
And I scream, you're not the man that
Said a while back, "All that I need is you"
Oh¡

Oh, if you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothing but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be OK
If we remember that it's give and take, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Let's have a meeting of minds
Just take some time to be one, it's worth it
If you put me before you
And I put you before me, we're fine
So tell me all the things you need
And I'll try to see 'em through
Because it's we (it's not me)
We (it's not you)
Babe, can we call a truce, oh¡

Oh, if you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothing but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be OK
If we remember that it's give and take

Marry me.

I’m no fan of Paris Hilton but at least she’s ready to get down.

My goodness (chuckle,) this old Grandma hit your hot button.

You might look up “female hysteria.” All sorts of psychological and female symptoms were included under this Victorian diagnosis.

You must be a young person and did not live through the sexual revelations of the Kinsey Report and the book “What You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask.”

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I just don’t buy it. If a guy can’t keep some degree of his woman’s passion, then nothing is pretty much what he deserves. Anything else is more akin to making a travesty of the institution.

[Lazamataz]

Now the deal is, we are supposed to provide sex on demand, earn "our share" of the income, do all the housework, remain forever attractive, and still provide sex on demand.

I wuz gonna crack wise, but then I realized, not right now.

No, here's the deal as I see it: I do whatever I can to make her happy. Hopefully she does the same, but it's not required.

No other deals. No stipulations. Just: Try to do whatever would make your partner happy.

Thinking about cheating? Well, would it make your partner happy?

Not quite in the mood for sex, but he or she is? Would it make them happy?

Spend all the money and charge up the credit cards? Would it make your partner happy?

It's a very simple formula, and one that is rife with success, I imagine. I will never do anything except what might make my partner happy. I won't really worry about my needs at all: If I make my partner happy, I am likely to have all my needs met. My needs are none of my business anyways.

LOL

Rodney needs to check his girlfriends thyroid condition!

If it were 2008 Seattle, there’d be nothing but applause from the buddies who had to leave.

[ConservativeMind]

I don’t recall the author advocating infidelity.

Technically, polygamy isn’t a form of infidelity. If you are “faithful” to all of those to whom you are married, you are practicing fidelity.

Adultery is having sex with someone who is not your spouse.

This message is not brought to you by a wayward Mormon. :-)

[Citizen Blade]

“I do” means “I will,” and a wife had better have a damn good reaon to renege on that.

You really should read your statements before posting. This line is just creepy.

[Tax-chick]

Since we’re operating on the assumption that men need to go all the time, and prefer sex to any other possible activity, what’s the problem here? Except that the couple isn’t married, of course, which is a BIG part of the issue under discussion, imo.

[denfurb]

Congratulations, all that any couple needs to know in a nutshell ;-)

>>This article says more about the man who wrote it than he probably imagines or would want.<<

Although I can’t speak for him, I suspect it says about him exactly what he wants it to say about him.

I agree 100%. Numbers 3 and 8 are especially revealing. Number 3 nails the “stupid generation”, of which I am an unwilling member. Number 8 reminds me of forcing myself to do a workout when I am not “in the mood”. Funny thing is, I always enjoy the workout, once I get into it. ;)

Both of these were VERY good.

[RobRoy]

>>Sounds like he’s making the case for polygamy.....<<

Certainly not my take. What gives you that impression?

[RobRoy]

So true. Sex is just a tiny part of the intimacy. Take it away though (against one side’s will), and the whole relationship sort of rots away.

Been there, done that.

[RobRoy]

>>He’s telling us more than he knows about himself.<<

In what way?

[RobRoy]

>>This cracks me up as most women I talk to in long term relationships whine that their men aren’t sexual ENOUGH!<<

And maybe that is why they are in “long term” relationships. ;)

[malkee]

“That is the problem with the GOP and why they have such problems attracting and promoting women.”
The problem is that women have been seduced by the glamor of evil. The evil of promiscuity, of contraception, of abortion, of the power of sexual blackmail...and the GOP doesn’t need such women until they get their heads on straight.
“Women are completely objectified.”

I agree with you that promiscuity, contraception and abortion are evils, you might be surprised to learn. But I notice you don't mention premarital sex. That's one place men need to get their heads on straight. Men want to test-drive women before they marry them. And if the women don't measure up, then out they go. Granted, women are as responsible for this as men. But the reality is that most men today wouldn' marry a woman who wouldn't sleep with them beforehand. They wouldn't even date them. Society has changed there, too, but I guess you think that's okay.
As far as the GOP is concerned --perhaps we need to start another thread on this -- the party is going to continue to shrink until it gets fully behind people like Sarah Palin -- and even some women who think like Sarah Palin but don't look as good as she does. Better yet, the party could promote women who don't look like Sarah Palin but might be a little more articulate and a little less cowed by the media. Single women might even be an option. Granted, there aren't many single conservative women, but there are some. The same goes for minorities.

[RobRoy]

>>...as long as you are sure no one can see you and the police can’t cite you.<<

The latter is critical.

The former, less so...
