... time for a fun discussion topic. What do you think of this? They make you look at an ad before you can read the whole thing, sorry.

"The ideal of a couple that we subscribe to is one that I think is likelier to satisfy women on the whole more than it is men ... So rather than men claiming that for a deal to be made they are going to insist upon certain rights or options that would sound sleazy -- mainly some mild sort of institutionalized promiscuity -- rather than insisting on such terms as a fundamental aspect of whatever contract is being worked out, the man basically [winds up] feel[ing] as if his desires aren't quite the right ones."
I agree with the first sentence. Marriage now is all about love and what the woman wants. I have recently come to the realization (with the help of women much wiser than me) that what men need is respect, not as much love. It seems to me that once that need is being met to the man's satisfaction in the marriage, there is much less of an urge to command respect through the conquest of many women. What do you think, oh husband mine?
