Some Guy Equates A Breach Of Contract Between Partners In A Therapy Practice To A Sexless Marriage And My Response
Yet another man on the internet tries to mansplain stuff about sex to me even though I am literally a person who tells women to have more sex. Hey guess what everyone, men aren't pure victims. Just like women aren't. I fix the analogy and remind everyone that life is complex and that women aren't bait and switching unless it's the same Lifetime movie where the man has a secret second family. AKA most people aren't sociopaths and life isn't black and white!

Nobody "Has The Power" In An Unhappy Marriage
Often, men think that the woman "holds the power" if she has a lower sex drive... just like how women think the man "holds the power" if he has a lower desire to be emotionally close. The reality is that nobody is happy or feels powerful in an unhappy marriage, not the anxious partner or the avoidant one! Here's how to rethink this, as well as why it can be transformative to understand that women in no way LIKE rejecting their husbands for sex!

Responsive ROMANCE!
Remember, more women have sex when they don't want to than men are romantic when they don't want to be... because men more are avoidant. So here's what to think about if you think romance should be "organic"... based on what I've already taught you about responsive desire in women!
