We tend to think that sexual compatibility is an extremely important part of a relationship: if we’re dating someone, and the sex isn’t good… well, it isn’t long before we’re single again.
Yet somehow, it seems that more than a few couples stay together — and even make it to the altar — in spite of an unfulfilling sex life. Now, marriage and monogamy are hard enough even when you are having good sex — how on earth does anyone think they can pull it off without that?

“Try traditional gender roles: Men may become more sexually assertive if they feel more in control, and women may feel more desire for a mate with newfound machismo.”
Oh christ. The article starts out ok, then takes a nosedive into irrelevant, dated and insulting territory in the ‘advice’ section. This kind of prescription makes assumptions that would be better bypassed….but then if all sex/culture articles just contained the words “TALK TO YOUR PARTNER, DON’T ASK US!” a lot of hack writers would be out of a job.
