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.
