Hot Summer Nights: Sex is not for sale

At Manlihood.com, we don’t want to be like Esquire, GQ, or Maxim. We have a different moral compass and a different motivation than other men’s magazines. But that doesn’t mean we have to be afraid to talk about sexuality. This month, we’re going to talk about how to reignite your sex life with your spouse. Disclaimer: I may be a little old fashioned. My perspective on sex may be filled with assumptions about marriage as the primary conduit for sexual activity. This doesn’t mean I’m judging anyone who does it differently. I’ll leave it up to you how you apply these blog posts.

I understand sometimes, when you are going through a dry spell, you may think that it’s justified to look to other sources to fulfill your needs.

Somewhere along the line – we’ve decided that it’s okay to do this.

I contend that above all else – if you are taking care of your wife, if you are meeting her needs – not just in bed, but elsewhere – you won’t lack for loving.

But when I hear stories of men paying prostitutes for sex, it breaks my heart.

It’s not a commodity, and it’s not meant to be traded. It WILL destroy your life, and it will destroy your marriage. Not to mention the “someone’s daughter” that you’re tossing twenty dollar bills at… most prostitutes are not just an independent contractor – many are abused women who were sucked into this lifestyle before they were of legal age, and they want out. They want to be free, but essentially, they are enslaved.

While we’re on the topic – similar things could be said about the porn industry.
And like it or not – porn does destroy marriages.
