Sex Isn't A Reward And Which Men And Women Think It Is
I recently wrote a Facebook post saying that if a guy didn't get laid the week after Mother's Day, he probably didn't hit it out of the park the way he imagined he did. Some angry men said that sex shouldn't be a reward. As this was not at all what I meant, it made me think about which men would interpret this post this way and what that framing means for their relationships overall!
