Dear Dennis,

Please stop giving conservative men a bad name with your bullshit marital advice.  The very best part of his column (emphasis mine):

Compared to most womens sexual nature, mens sexual nature is far closer to that of animals. So what? That is the way he is made. Blame God and nature. Telling your husband to control it is a fine idea. But he already does. Every man who is sexually faithful to his wife already engages in daily heroic self-control. He has married knowing he will have to deny his sexual natures desire for variety for the rest of his life. To ask that he also regularly deny himself sex with the one woman in the world with whom he is permitted sex is asking far too much. Deny him enough times and he may try to fill this need with another woman.

That’s right, ladies.  Men are such barely-tamed beasts that every time they don’t bone another woman, they are practicing “heroic” self-control.

I’m pretty sure that this entire column constitutes an argument against marriage (or at least marriage to Dennis Prager).  That a healthy marriage requires both men and women to compromise sometimes on frequency of sex is not news.  But the key here is that both need to compromise, and that men are just as capable of controlling their baser desires as women are.  Can we please stop setting the bar for male behavior so low with inane comments like “that’s just how men are made”?

But because it’s Christmas Eve and I have presents to wrap, I will refer you over to Jezebel to read the full take-down.
