Myth That Men Alone Need Sex
- The cultural narrative that "men need sex" frames sexual responsibility as the wife's duty and misrepresents both genders as unequal in sexuality.
- Amanda Lauder argues this narrative is dangerous and oversimplifies human sexual agency and responsibility.
Sex: Not For Survival But For Thriving
- Sex is not a survival need like food or water, but it can be essential for happiness and thriving for many people.
- Amanda Lauder distinguishes between biological survival needs and desires that elevate life quality.
