(57,274 posts)That would make him a "gigolo." Expecting that he should take any part in running the household, whether helping out with housework, holding down a job, or paying any bills, is somehow expecting something in exchange for sex. I know it is completely devoid of logic, but it is stated by a member above.
I guess being male and married entitles a man to do absolutely nothing and expect sex as a matter of course, and if she doesn't like his idea of sex that can be accomplished in well under 20 minutes, she is "frigid," according to that same poster.
In other words, marriage is not a commitment of two people to share their lives together, including responsibilities, but hinges on the expectation that a woman must do anything and everything a man expects, including providing sex on demand, looking after the house, doing the remodeling, and supporting him: In other words, enslavement.
Edit: God help us all. I just realized that poster is a woman. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am disturbed by it.
