A SEXLESS MARRIAGE
ANTI-PORNOGRAPHY
This author agrees with most statements and findings of anti-pornography articles. The only negative aspect is that without pornography sexual assaults increase. Previous to Heffner and PLAYBOY, the assumption was that pornography would improve one’s mental health. Anti-pornography and Pro-pornography are two sides of the same coin.
It would appear that stamping out porn would act like prohibition did with alcohol. Further, the anti-porn folks assume that a married couple would become more sexual again. However, married women when questioned by Syracuse University, 50% don’t like sex and 30% want it only infrequently.
Thus, most couples have few relations a year. At one time, women had to comply with a “wifely duty” Thus among women avoidance strategies continue. Females should not be forced to have sex with their husbands.
Men had the use of a magazine. There is that Hegelian theory that Anti-porn leads to porn leads a new synthesis. Soft porn is for couples. Genital pictures are not shown and the sex is fake.
Anti-porn folks can live with robust restrictions and hide that if they had the chance, they would avoid it altogether. Thus, males can assume that marriage means a heavy burden of raising kids and becoming celibate. Marriages are reduced and females find the pressure to have children increasingly chasing after smaller amounts of males.
There may be a middle ground that pleases or displeases most Americans. The Republican Party has two large chunks of supporters. The first is the corporations that profit from porn and the Evangelicals that suffer from it. One cannot see Trumpsters fighting for less porn.
Finding a middle ground may be a hopeless dream.
Perhaps, a strategy that keeps a marriage together is to have sexual technology for each person. They interact sexually when both want to. So? When they cross paths is when both want the relationship at the same time. In other words, if they don’t bump into each other they have their own sex stimulant. For women, there is not a duty and the for the man he may have many imaginary partners. Or they have that special person that they will never meet.
Last, the marriage is for warmth and love.
