I would say the facts disagree with you. Human beings do need to express their feelings physically with another person.

It is our number one need above all other things including food and personal safety. Human beings constantly put their lives at risk in pursuit of sexual gratification. We risk our marriages, our lives, our careers, our reputations, and our very health for a few moments of gratification. "Survivial of Species" outranks all other innate instincts.

Those other random times where she is not quite in the mood, she still winds up enjoying herself.

I make every effort to please my wife in every way emotionally, financially, physically, and intellectually, and I expect the same from her, and I don't think it is too much to ask.

How is desiring one's mate even when they aren't particularly in the mood disrespectful ? How is helping your spouse fulfill and satisfy their urges being a sex toy ?

That's like saying you would only do the dishes/walk the dog/cook/do the laundry/pick up the dry-cleaning etc for your spouse only when you feel like it and not when you aren't in the mood! That's not a marriage, that would be a room-mate arrangement (not even room-mates would stand for that these days! ) .

Sure, violently forcing your partner into sex when they don't want to, is absolutely condemnable and tantamount to rape but having sex with a disinterested/tired/unwilling partner is certainly not rape~!

Threatning to go else where, if your partner does not consent to sex,is emotional abuse. Those in here who advocate this should be ashamed of yourselves and you should hang your heads in shame.

Inequality towards women in sports also,as highlighted with the two tv sports presenters and a sports reporter making sexist remarks with regards to a assistant female referee, which has lead to one sports tv presenter being sacked, and the other two being suspended. I suppose there is no inequalities here also eh. Doesnt mater where you go, Equality for females in the UK has a very long way to go. And that fact cannot be disputed.
You can't stop someone from making a racist, sexist or homophobic comment, so all you can do is take action against it; as Sky have done.

Well, call me old-fashioned, but half of the enjoyment of having sex with someone that you have feelings for is making your partner enjoy it in equal measure.

Why would some knuckle-dragging neanderthal possibly want to use their partner as a sex-toy ?
I think I just answered my own question: because they are knuckle-dragging neanderthals.

There is nothing disrespectful about desiring your partner when they are not in the mood; the disrespect comes from expecting them to provide their body as property to meet your desires.
This idea is disgusting, and I can't believe that people believe that this ''rape'' in their relationship is acceptable.

No that's not like that at all.
Your argument is ridiculous, and you are using an absurd analogy in an attempt to ''justify'' violating one's sexual partner.

Did you just include ''unwilling'' in your last statement to justify spousal rape ?
Surely, an ''unwilling'' sexual partner is included in the dictionary definition of rape ?

Wrong One was sacked the other resigned, and the sports reporter was suspended from reporting on any games of football. He knew his position was in jepoardy after maing those comments in the first place, is why he telephoned the Assistant Referee and apologised to her.

Yes you can, It is called Hate Crimes, unless you have missed this being brought into UK Law. And it can carries a heavy jail sentence to go along with it.

I agree with you on most things but come on, if ever a mountain has been made out of a molehill it's this farce over the Sky presenters.
Ok it was all a bit 1970's and they deserved to be reprimanded, but to lose their jobs?
Just a bit OTT methinks and definately done to appease the PC brigade.
There was no malice intended at all.
Great strides have been made in this country to eliminate sexism in the workplace, let's not get carried away.
And are we men to take offense every time a woman takes the piss out of men's inability to multi-task or our insensitivity or whatever?
