Love (Sex) and Marriage

I recently had come across an article in the New York Times written by Lori Gottlieb which related an anecdote of a dinner party where afterwards her boyfriend and her concluded that the hosts, a married couple, would not be having sex that evening. This fact seemed to dismay her since the couple had what she viewed as the perfect marriage.

I am personally dismayed that a writer for the NYT did not receive a proper education. It seems that in our effort to make a more homogeneous world we have stop teaching reality. Nietzsche is disdained because the National Socialist German Workers Party twisted his ideals into a parody of itself. Something we would have been horrified to see by all accounts.

In the same vein, it is a apparent that Oscar Wilde is too crude for our modern, easily offended society. For he said, "Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power." This alone would give you all the information you need. In an equal marriage great sex will be nonexistent. Sorry to tell you this, but it's true. Think about this, good sex requires one partner to be in a power position. It really doesn't matter who but one must be master and the other servant. Once you remove that from the equation the only reason for sex is procreation. The more intelligent the couple the more likely they will share in the duties rather than one do all the house work while the other "brings home the bacon".

The evidence for this I have seen portrayed in media of all sorts as well as my own observations. I am reminded of the movie Idiocracy at the beginning of which they show two families a modern educated couple producing one child and a hillbilly looking (redneck) couple who produce grandchildren before the other couples child is out of diapers. This effect stems from a man who uses sex to assert his dominance of a woman who is all to willing to be "protected".
