is sex or the lack of an important part of marriage?
In today’s world, sex is rife with double standards for women. If a woman denies sex to her husband, she is blamed for being frigid or heartless. But when a man denies sex, the woman is also blamed—usually for not being attractive or sexy enough. I fell straight into this trap, blaming myself for his lack of interest. Was I getting too flabby, too boring? Was I not meeting the lady-in-the-streets-but-a-freak-in-the-bed standards that society sets for women?
Intent on rekindling my husband’s interest, I tried to get creative about sex. He wasn’t interested. I told him repeatedly how much I loved him and wanted him. Nada. I started bargaining for sex, and eventually, just begging. All I got in return was night after night of humiliating rejection.
