On the Necessity of Sex
Do people really need sex? I came across some people scoffing at the idea on Twitter recently: Very true. I’m amazed at the ppl who seem to be convinced that they will drop dead or spontaneously combust or go crazy if they … Continue reading

She’s Just a Woman
“She’s just a woman.” Men and women alike have been well-trained to hate that sentiment. It’s the kind of phrase you only expect to hear from one-dimensional movie villains these days–the kind who will inevitably get a moment of girl-power … Continue reading

Don’t Let Whim Dominate Your Marriage
Whenever the concept of marital duties is brought up, it’s inevitable that the red herring of rape or “forced sex” is thrown out in response. In other words, if you contend that spouses have a responsibility to provide each other … Continue reading
Sex Without Sex – Dissecting a Piece of Trans Propaganda.

St. George and the Art of Dragonslaying
