It’s a convenient pseudohistorical narrative to blame homosexuality for the “downfall of society”, rather common in conservative circles. It doesn’t have to make sense, it conveys what they want it to convey and there’s rarely a need to fact-check because it’s already assumed to be true by the people who find it “convincing”.
Its It’s a just-so story passed on in order to confirm preexisting beliefs.
If your spouse feels so strongly about vegetarianism that your marriage vows explicitly included a clause about not eating meat then yes, I’d say that would be an equally serious betrayal.
IMHO the most important quality a successful marriage needs to have isn’t sexual fidelity or financial stability or compatible dietary preferences. It’s a mutual understanding of what the relationship means. So if both partners understand that infidelity isn’t a deal-breaker or that BJs come with the territory or it’s just a trophy wife/sugardaddy arrangement, fine—just as long as both partners are more or less on the same page.
But if one partner thinks unconditional monogamy is a cornerstone of their marriage and the other thinks it’s OK to sneak some on the side if their partner isn’t putting out, then you’ve got two people with very different ideas of what kind of agreement they’ve entered into. That’s a recipe for disaster in ANY kind of relationship.
and others are more complex than they appear. both or neither statements may be relevant.
Oh, the places you will go!
Where did you get your optimism?
Do they ship overseas?
I’m almost tempted to Google “Dr. Seuss Sex Parody” just out of curiosity for what’s out there but it would probably ruin whatever remaining time I have to read bedtime stories to my kids.
Haven’t you already ruined it in your head?
and Rule 34 never was so tempting.
Something about a fox in socks and six sick chicks?
Not in car, not in a tree, I do not like blowjobs you see… Yeah I am going to hell for that…
Fox in socks.
Cocks in fox.
Cocks in box of fox in socks.
Goddamn you guys.
I was gonna sauce up Yertle the Turtle, but I don’t want to see that part of my childhood die just yet.
I would wager that libertine periods generally preclude major change for a society. Whether that change is a sudden decline is a different, although related, issue.
You’re thinking of a different boingboing story: http://boingboing.net/2015/07/14/man-allegedly-flew-cross-count.html
It’s fortunately not a thing I’ve ever come across.
Pun very much not intended.
I get that you see it as not something casual- But you do know there’s ways of preventing pregnancy these days, right?
So this is all a bit off topic, but it’s more entertaining than people who use Ashley Madison, so hey, whatever.
So, is there anyone who recognizes an affair as a good thing? I don’t necessarily mean good in a candy-and-unicorns way, but in a chemotherapy-tooth-pulling sort of way.
It’s been my observation that when a man strays from his relationship (yes, women do likewise- I’m basing this on a few specific people I’ve witnessed), one of two things happens:
Either way, it’s has a tendency to be a catalyst for change. Then again, I don’t personally know anyone who’s maintained a long-term affair. Again- I’m just basing this on my own secondhand experience.
true, but still… Even if you go out with fun in mind (which is perfectly fine.) I just don’t like the idea of not acknowledging that a child isn’t a potential outcome. No method is safe,
Personal preferences and outlook. You can be as casual as you like.
We appreciate your lenience. And when I or us get too unruly, just change our avatars to Bojack Horseman, we will get the message.
I have a fantasy of going to another woman’s home, removing the malware from her PC and discussing installing Ubuntu.
I then connect her phone and iPad to her Wifi.
I leave, both of us feeling deeply satisfied.
