Very confusing!

Apparently...Agreed. You sound like a good mother. <br /><br />Apparently we have to defer to religion instead of what we learn from experience. If we can commit to some vague entity (living in the clouds) in such uncompromising terms, we won't pay much attention to objectivity. We know that objectivity and critical thinking are anathema to most religions. Otherwise, who would fall for it?Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-24206022463241428192017-08-23T23:28:28.805-04:002017-08-23T23:28:28.805-04:00Bravo, Daddy!
"What if, after the honeymoo...Bravo, Daddy! <br /><br />"What if, after the honeymoon fuckfest has worn off, one has a larger, broader libido then the other? Who will have to go wanting? Who will have it up to here?"<br /><br />THIS is exactly why I warned each of my kids not to marry as virgins. I told them the saddest thing is to talk to someone who didn't "take it for a test drive", and after God and everyone has witnessed them pledging to each other for eternity, they discover that once a month is okay for him, while twice a day is barely enough for her. Or vice-versa. If you view marriage as a partnership, then the idea of having to save yourself is ridiculous. Nothing ruins a marriage quicker than one cheating on the other, because their sex drives are misaligned. Religions have a lot to answer for, and this is a big one!

It may have something to do with each wanting to make the other happy, which can lead to the problem of, "What do you want to do?" "I dunno, what do you want to do?" in which each one tries to figure out what the other wants. In a long-standing relationship, though, this kind of thing gets worked out.
