Ah, married lifeFollow

Believe it or not there is a law in Aust. (or at least I remember something along those lines) that in any marriage there MUST be a reasonable amount of sex. The grey area is that no one can actually deem what is a reasonable amount... So you could argue that once for a kid/on the honeymoon is enough...

Dark.

Nope, Flea, even better...Nova Scotia. Dang Canadians!

Now, an article like this forces me to ask to the question:

Should fidelity be reconsidered? I just wonder how much happier people would be if they could get sex from sources outside marriage? I had an "open" relationship once and I'll never do it again. Emotionally damaging. That being said, what do you people think? Could cheating be made to be ok?

Well, where I come from men and women both were raised to think that the only thing you should never do to a wife that was unforgivable was leave. You could cheat (and they all did), but "flaunting it" so that your wife couldn't even hold up her head was a no-no. I can't remember the number of times my aunts consoled themselves with the mantra "But I'm still the wife." The arguments used to justify it to an inquisitive and outraged twelve-year old were that

1. It's in a man's nature to cheat, and,
2. When you love someone you take the good with the bad.

The only thing that pisses me off more than those arguments now is the "If someone cheats they must not be getting something they need at home" argument. You would think that people have no control over their mouths or their zippers.
Thank God that time passes and views change.

It is true. He or she is NOT getting something at home. But it's the cheater's responsibility to work within the relationship to get what he or she needs. If that's impossible, then they're with the wrong person. There are no passives in a true relationship.



Absolutely 100 % correct. Soul mates satiate each other. There is no need for outside "assistance."

This "It's men's nature to cheat" is utter ********* We aren't pack animals, we're human.

Another argument I've heard is "Intelligent people make their own rules about sex." Incorrect. Multiple partners is a cop out for not admitting the person you're with isn't the one that is right. These so called "intelligent people" are simply making justifications to rationalize their behavior.

For the original topic, it's good to know that governments are starting to see that forced sex within a marriage is still rape.

giving woman rights weakens the instituition of marriage??

thank you sir you have just proven me your opinion is absolutely moronic and anything you say should never ever be taken seriously because it comes from a pig head.

I don't think i have read such utter horse $hit from anyone above the age of 10. I am somewhat glad that people like yourself are naturally repulsive to women. So there is no chance of you procreating and that precludes another ******* from the genetic pool.

Get back in your cave with your club...APE!

Murth, this is Sarcasm.
Sarcasm, this is Murth.

The argument against things like gay marrige has been that it's important to preserve things like the "sanctity" of marrige or the "institution" of marrige. No one ever seems to mention that one hundred years ago the "institution" of marrige meant same race people entering into a relationship where the husband de facto owned the wife.

skeet, pass the popcorn ?

Yah, Smash is a nice guy, he's just misunderstood.

It's like somebody asking me on the forum if I like liver, and me typing "Oh, yes, sure do" while shaking my head "No". Not very likely for people to know I was being sarcastic.

For Smash's next act, he's going to make balloon animals for us!

Look, a giraffe!

Yeah, except for No. Look again, it was tarv and Murth that took it literally. I responded with a lame joke about Bush. Get your facts straight, Smash.

Oh wait, I get it, more sarcasm. Good one.

Hang on a second here-- I can't believe that there are any guys on this board who would be opposed to such a claim as "wifely duty." With all y'all's talk about scoring, cheap and sleazy women, going ugly early, and the like, now you guys are going to get all sensitive and pretending that you care what they think?

Ha! Not likely. More that y'all's S.O.s are looking over your shoulder as you type these posts and are hoping to earn sympathy sex-- her sympathy for you because your balls are in a jar up on the closet shelf...

Weaklings. My wife does her wifely duty and fetches me a sammich afterwards. Only she does it because I am the "King."

Totem

Them's good eatin'!!!

So does this mean that you accept my proposal?

Queen Skeet

(you'll have to get your own damn sammich though, and pick me up one while you're at it)
