Hi all. I saw this the other week in a blog on a news site and could relate to it a fair bit. I was wondering what others thought considering the different responses from women.
Sex therapist rejects excuses
Sex therapist Bettina Arndt is everywhere at the moment, explaining the basis for a new book she has written.
She’s come up with a premise that the unequal sexual desire between partners is the cause of a great deal of angst. To put it simply, too many women just can’t be bothered with sex, leaving their men in an unfulfilled torment of desire.
Men, therefore, are nightly suffering cruel rejection, which is breaking their little hearts.
Of course, the opposite is true too – some women are left unfulfilled by disinterested partners – but in the main, it’s a woman-caused problem.
And how should this little problem be dealt with? Well, says Ms Arndt in an echo of that well-known advertisement, these women should just do it.
After all, she says, once the canoe is put into the water, it might just turn out all right for everyone.
She has interviewed a great many couples to reach this conclusion.
She’s heard all the excuses: too tired, the kids might wake up, I have to get up early in the morning. And none of them, she thinks, are good enough.
There comes a point in a relationship where the reluctant partner simply has to give in, and do it, on the basis that they may well surprise themselves by getting into the spirit as well.
