Prager is right, in general....

 When a Woman Isn't In the Mood Part 1

When a Woman Isn't In the Mood Part 2

First off, I know Prager's ghosts:  divorced and is tolerant of porn.   Do I like it?  No, but no one is perfect.

I am aware that many people, especially women, hate this article.  It would be awesome if husbands and wives were either perpetually horny, or not, all of the time.  One less piece of bullshit between the sexes.  Not gonna happen though. 

Prager isn't advocating that the husband has the right to rape his wife when she refuses him.  All he is saying is that wives should put out more and not use their moods to dictate whether sex happens or not.  Husbands, at the same time, must provide enough foreplay for the wife to get something out of the sexual encounter.  Also, the husband must provide a positive marriage atmosphere in general where it is possible for her to do so.  By doing so, he is demonstrating that he loves his wife, will do the hard work to earn sexual access, and isn't just using her for sex.

Prager even lists reasons, like I have in a previous entry, why wives should put out.  I would never agree to women becoming sexually like men.  However, wives should use their sexual power (a power that few men have over women) to obtain what they desire most from their husbands and their marriages:  romance, love, respect, physical protection, and financial security. 

Now, here is where Prager is dead wrong:  confusing love with sex.  Sex Is Not Love!  Sex is a physical and hormonal joining of (hopefully) husbands and wives.  The act of a wife putting out when she really isn't in the mood for it can be love, but the act itself isn't. 

Let's Get Practical ....

“Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.” Billy Crystal

It's true for the most part. Sexual hormonally, females drew the short stick. Females have a hard time having sex for shits and giggles, like males can. Testosterone, the sex hormone, is found in very small amounts in women.  Short straw indeed.

Wives should consider the following practical reasons to have sex with their husbands:

1) Sexed up husbands are more likely to do what is asked of them in a shorter period of time without wives having to go up their husbands asses about it. Leaking faucet? Fixed. Squealing brakes? Fixed. Plywood over windows before a hurricane (without the wife having to lift a finger)? Yep.

2) Sexed up husbands are less likely to screw around on you and bring home STDs and outside pregnancies. Note, if a husband is dead set on cheating on you, he will. I'm sorry to say that I don't know the magic number of times a week to have sex in order to prevent 100% of infidelity.

3)  Sexed up husbands bring home higher paychecks than sexually deprived husbands. The benefits of this are obvious.

4)  Sexed up husbands are more likely to take their wives out and do things that their wives want to do.

5)  Sexed up husbands will buy their wives gifts more often.

6)  Sexed up husbands are less likely to nag their wives for sex.

7)  Sexed up husbands tend to be more romantic.  Bear mind, however, husbands exchange romance for sex.  Using the same parallel, wives exchange sex for romance.  

I understand that for  low sex drive women, sex is not a high personal priority.  That is not a reason to not perform the marital duty that husbands crave the most.  I am not suggesting that we lie to ourselves and pretend to be something that we are not.  Find reasons!!!!  There is nothing wrong with that.  At the end of the day, as long as everyone does what he or she is supposed to do, the whys don't matter.

Sex is NOT Love

Let's make love. I want to make love to you. We made love last night. Blah, blah, blah......

This confusion makes my blood boil. This confusion often leads to women making some of the dumbest decisions of their lives. I am talking about confusing sex with love and love with sex.

Sex is purely a physical act, especially for males. Males compartmentalize almost everything in their minds. Work is in this part of the mind. Sports, over there. Sex, here. Love, WAAAYYY over there. This is why your typical male can absolutely loathe a woman but still want to screw her brains out. Furthermore, males don't experience immediate consequences of the sex act. They can't get pregnant. So males can afford to be sexually indiscriminate. Males don't even need a reason to have sex. Just a place and a compliant female.

The typical female, on the other hand, have a much harder time with separating sex and love. Oxytocin, the bonding hormone, is almost exclusively produced by females during and after the sex act.

Sex can be had without love. Sex is a romance killer when it takes place outside of marriage for women. Hell, it can even kill romance inside of marriage.

Love is something totally different. Love is something that many times is harder to demonstrate. It's doing things that you may not do otherwise. The husband getting up to go to work, especially on the weekend. The wife putting out when she doesn't feel like it(it's not the sex that's love, it's the putting out when she doesn't feel like it that is, among other reasons....).

Welcome :)

Welcome to What Is It That You Don't Understand?!?! This is a space dedicated to subjects focusing on what's wrong with modern male/female relations and what steps can be taken to improve on them. Topics will include singlehood and marriage. Not to mention the dangers of premarital sex and out of wedlock births to both individuals and society.

Here's some background about myself, however, I will try to keep self-blogs to a minimum, since this is about helping others. I have been married since 2003. No kids. Two dogs. I tend to lean to the right at times and to the left at times but, to be sure, I am right leaning as far as male/female relationships are concerned. I am an anti-feminist. Men and women are different, however, feminism has basically succeeded in duping women that men are just the same as women and want exactly the same things at the same time. Some similarities, but, by and large, different and it is wrong for one to expect the other to automatically understand why he/she does what he/she does.

A preview:

I am against premarital sex. Men will not marry if sex is cheap and widely available. Premarital sex leads to out of wedlock births. Children from single parent home are more likely to commit crime. Every night when you watch the news, story after story about some un/underparented teenager breaking into someone's home or robbing a gas station. More likely than not, that child is a product of a single parent home. All children need and deserve a two parent home with mom and dad married. Disclaimer: I was not a virgin when I married, and I regret it. If I waited until I was married for sex, it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary drama in my life.

Men should be men. Too many of our men are either feminized manchildren afraid to open a door for a woman or a bunch of street thugs ready to pounce on any female that walks past them. Turn off the Playstations and Sportscenter, go out and ask women out on dates. Care for a woman and any children that they produce after marriage. Go to the gym and work on your bodies. Physically strong men are extremely masculine. Be intelligent. Don't have a media diet that mainly consists of sports and cars. Exercise delayed gratification. Learn basic home repair.

Women should be women. Stop competing with your dates/boyfriends/fiances/husbands. Dress nice. I am not saying break out the burkas, but don't dress skanky. Learn how to keep a house. Let men open doors, pull out chairs, and do the heavy lifting for you. He pays for the date. This doesn't put you in a place of weakness. When a man is chivalrous, he is treating you like a lady. No sex until you are married. Be hard to get, not cheap and easily available. Be intelligent. Don't have a media diet that mainly consists of Cosmo magazine and Days of Our Lives. Hit the gym to stay or get into shape.

Husbands are the head of marriages. This isn't to say that women are less intelligent than men. Men are the natural protectors of women. When the husband is in the place of headship, if he makes the final decision and is wrong, he is to protect her with everything he's got from his bad judgment. Husband must ask for the input of their wives since it is a marriage after all, but he has the sometimes dreadful task of bearing a huge burden if he comes to the incorrect conclusion. If he makes the right call, then all is well.

Men are not better that women and vice versa. Men are better at certain things than women and women are better at certain things than men. Nothing wrong with that. That's why men and women belong together. We compliment each other.

Wives must make themselves sexually available to their husbands. Husbands have only one valid choice for their sexual satisfaction: their wives. While, unfortunately, sex is so widely available, it still remains the point for males to marry. The average husband does love his wife, but he needs marital sex to ultimately bond him to her. Wives, bear in mind that if you constantly turn down your husband sexually, he will withdraw emotionally. Refused husbands may even start to take away from their refusing wives date nights, gifts, flowers, romance in general, the things that wives typically cherish in marriage. And, of course, he may turn outside the marriage for sex. It is a dangerous thing to sexually starve a husband. Is it right for him to cheat? No, but that's reality. Only if he is a total tool (abusive sexually, verbally, physically, financially), that he is to be refused, and left.

Husbands must spend quality time with their wives outside the bedroom. Just because you got the ring on her finger doesn't mean that their courting and dating is over and it's all about you having unlimited sex. As a matter of fact, it's time to step it up a notch, especially now that you are having sex with her. Whatever the things that the husband did to get her are the same things that the husband will have to do to keep her. Don't all of a sudden forget the directions to her favorite restaurant. What is her favorite flower? She must be wowed inside and outside the bedroom. In other words, wives also must have reasons to stay around. If a husband only gives his wife attention when he wants sex, she very well may seek love and attention outside of her marriage. If she gets the love and attention from another man, she very well end up in a sexual relationship with that man. It is a dangerous thing to emotionally starve a wife. Is it right for her to cheat? No, but that's reality.

There will be no discussion of politics on this blog. I've come to the conclusion that online political discussions turn otherwise rational people into raging lunatics. No politics allowed. Period.

That's it for now. I will admit that this first post is on the sloppy side, but whatever. As I come up with topics, I shall post. If you already have a request for a topic, feel free to contact me.
