France moves to abolish concept of marital duty to have sex

[Abacinator]

There are several countries where this is common and acceptable.
Middle Eastern and South Asian countries come to mind with their child marriages and arranged marriages.
The girl/woman is there solely for the man’s pleasure and to bear children.
Then there’s the whole thing about female genital mutilation…

And people who engage in those practices should be burned alive.

Again, being able to "perform" under those conditions would be impossible for me.

Au contraire, it's No ooh, no la.

It's from the French Quarter. New Orleans is a Angelized version of No Ooh, Lean Times.

I read it on the internet!

for more reasons than one, dude.

my dude has always had a habit of becoming amorous at ‘less than convenient’ times. but hey, my motto? ‘make hay while the sun shines’.

IMO, if you need laws to govern your relationship, you’ve got bigger (much bigger) problems than any government can solve. that’s some serious ‘may i suggest all y’all see a therapist’ territory.

Well, like I said, they only place I can see this having value, is in Royal arranged marriages.

This is kinda weird. There wasn't explicitly any kind of "marital duty" clause but I guess it could have been interpreted as being implied (and evidently was). So they've just made it clear.

FTR France allows no-fault divorce (because why would you not?)

Marriage or job, you won't have to ask twice... I have no interest staying where I'm not wanted.
