Women, as the Roman elegiac poets pointed out and any sexual therapist will tell you, are ready any time. Men are only ready when they're ready. Interesting point.

Wives have a "loving obligation" to have sex whenever they are asked for it - even if they are not in the mood, says American author Dr Laura Schlessinger.
Yeah. Yeah. Standard Jewish Orthodox teaching on sex. I read a book by a rabbi entitled Kosher Sex. This is one of the points he made. But Jewish Orthodox get about two weeks a month off from getting groped or fondled or even touched at all--their days of separation. So by the time they ritually purify themselves in that giant tub of Godly goodness (called a mitsvot or something), and become available for sex again, both partners want it so badly that moods are simply not an issue.

"If husbands are expected to go to work and earn money and visit relatives they don't like, why can't wives put out on demand?" Let's see:
"a husband is expected to work" - and this is saying that a wife's day isn't spent working. Many women work outside the home, many women work, i.e. take care of children and the home, many women work from their home, take care of the kid and homeschool too (I am in the latter group).
"visit relatives they don't like" - so the husband doesn't like the wife's relatives, but the wife always likes the husband's relatives? In my case the mother-in-law lives with us and I am the primary caregiver, since the husband is off at work (lucky him).
"wives put out on demand"-if you mean "provide a body" for the husband to have sex with, we'll then I have no issues. But if you mean that the wife shows up mentally, physically, and emotionally for an intimate encounter with her husband, then it's not going to happen on demand.
Luckily my husband prefers that all of me (mind, body, and emotions) shows up for sex, and therefore doesn't demand.
With kids, jobs, in-laws, etc. intimacy takes planning, but we have a long standing marriage and a genuine "like" of each other, as well as love with each other.

What's wrong with flannel? It's just a violation of fundamental rules. Lace is fine, just about in any format.
Silk is OK. Can't complain to much about silk.
I've rarely had objection to much of anything miniscule or, perhaps, the maximum in air conditioning.
The wife once had the nerve to show up in flannel long-johns. That's all together different. So I thought it crucial to put my foot down, so-to-speak. That was when rule number one had to be established. So far, it hasn't been violated in any of these live long years.

"If husbands are expected to go to work and earn money and visit relatives they don't like, why can't wives put out on demand?" That might be fair as long as the wife is not working to also support the family,is the primary care provider for the children, and also does all the cooking and cleaning to boot. Oh, and may I add not having to spend time with his crappy relatives also.

Your husband sounds like a fine man.
And you sound like a very fine woman as well.

Very good point and a very civilized practice.

Funny you would mention that - I learned the same thing from young women where I was working. They are educated, attractive, healthy - late 20's....... and couldn't care less about sex......... incredible!
To: NativeNewYorker
more than once or twice a month TYPO. You meant "...once or twice a year...", right? :)
YIKES!!!!
To: demlosers
but it has already been labelled "outrageous" by feminists, marriage experts and psychologists. FemNazis, socialists and quacks.

I would be happy to learn that your poll numbers are correct..... I guess I just happen to hear of the few unfortunate souls who aren't gettin any........
To: dawn53
Dawn - I was working full time, but left to homeschool a very ill child - my husband works far enough away that his commute is about 3 1/2 to 4 hours a day - I feel our time together is pretty much a reward for both of us for making it through another day - Best of luck to you too......

There's no hard research on the point. *cough*

Good...then some have a right to complain when they're at less than 10% of that average.
There are some Lucky bastards out there who are on the other end of that scale balancing it out.
