So now we know. I read [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1357771/Couple-sex-day-year-revive-marriage.html
this]] yesterday. I think it's insane, and it's bothering me a lot. She doesn't strike me as a complete idiot and the last few paragraphs are telling, but does it always come down to sex and the power struggle to do with it?

Is this article in the DM again? If I remember correctly, they ran a similar article a few months ago as I read it and went >yawn<

Once again DM pandering to the pov that men should be head of all and women are devoid of free will.

So she wouldn't do it again, danced a jig when it was over and some days really didn't want to have sex but when women tell her they're not interested she thinks they're wrong? And at the end of the day all it's done is bring more sex to her relationship. Not advice I'll be following, thank you.

The reason that article bothers me is because is it suggesting that sex is not something women might want and enjoy for themselves, rather it is something to be given to the man for his enjoyment. Why could she not want sex of the every day of the year because she likes sex?

It might be Daily Mail and crap, but her book was a bestseller, and there is some of the things that she says that is worth considering.

I can't open the link for some reason

But this is the Daily mail, I know it's going to be a pile of crap without reading it.
IMO it's not worth a second of your thought time.
