runner duck Jun 2013 9:36pm, 3 Jun 2013 10,817 posts	Quote Pin runner duck i agree with anj. but i do think some women would get pressurised into it. but then again, that's probably happened to men already. to reading the kindle. surely that must be a major turn-off for her partner - unless she's reading the 'dirty' bits out loud

JenL Jun 2013 9:44pm, 3 Jun 2013 25,158 posts	Quote Pin JenL I think it would be a good thing for a woman to be able to choose to take if she wanted to, but "choose" would be the bit that might get lost in the rush to conform to so-called surveys that claim to reveal what's "normal". I also think that a man who claims he wouldn't mind if a woman had sex just for his benefit should be... encouraged to think about that a bit more.
Oysterboy Jun 2013 9:45pm, 3 Jun 2013 6,513 posts	Quote Pin Oysterboy I said the same thing about it being a turn off if the partner isn't bothered. My OH thinks it's not ideal but that the physical need would win for many men.
