This is from a self-help WebMDblog from a mother concerned about her decrease in sex drive that is turning her husband "off." Louanne Cole Weston, PhD responds to this mother with first a biological explanation and then a possible solution to help aleviate their problem. In order to accomplish her suggestion it involves this mother to make sure she's not tired. But Dr. Cole Weston does not just solely leave this task (of not being tired) on this mother, she says that it is her husband's responsibility to make sure she can accomplish this task. It's has this underlying tone to help get them to the Unity Model where the husband should help to accomodate the wife to make things easier for her.

This is an article from the Psychology Today online site, which is like a self-help informative site for individuals. The main purpose of the article is to address the issue of HSD (Hypoactive Sex Drive) which is a recent condition that about 25% of Americans are diagnosed with. The article talks about the possibilites of how it can occur, which tends to be due to a reaction to antidepressents, or low levels of testostereone in the female, or too much prolactin in men. However, in the end this article points out that it could all be a "psychological" instead of a psyiological thing. Many of the patients who come in for help are having relationship issues, and those issues could have helped to escalate this disorder into existance. I found it interesting because, I did not know of such a disorder into existance except that viagra would be used for people who are unable to get the drive up due to psysiological reasons (usual age being a factor). I also found it interesting that partners who complain of not having enough sex, may just have an unusually high sex drive. With that thought in mind, I wonder what Dr. Laura would say to a caller, especially a female caller that questioned her insite of "taming" a husbands sex drive when it may not really be able to be "tamed."

Lucky Nickel is part the radical feminist movement, who wrote a journal pertaining to the how the male species has taken advantage of sex.  She mentions the current situation in which men are allowed free and easy access to sex without the drag of protocol, courtship and responsibility.  Women are just expected to take care of the children, chores, and wash their husband’s underwear.  An issue of sex positive is also mentioned where a revolution must take place to allow men to do what ever they want and to not take it as anything bad, which Lucky badgers, as a stupid conclusion to help society with their already set negative attitudes toward women.

This is a great article about the give and take process of sex and what effect it may have in a relationship. This site has many article links that is related to this subject and also allows feedback from viewers. This was a very interesting topic that I had to talk to my husband about because he really isn’t a sexual man. He has sex whenever I ask for it but he never pressures me into doing it, especially on a daily basis. I explained to him that it’s ok to want sex but it’s another thing to want it when your wife isn’t in the mood.

This site is very informing and hopeful for women who feel undesirable when their husband watches porn. Just because they enjoy watching other people have sex doesn’t necessarily mean that his wife is not satisfying him but may it is because it is convenient. It may be just a fantasy that a man needs to have in order to desire the concept of sex.

- G25, Gora - Outline 10

This was an interesting site because it discussed signs and symptoms in a relationship that result in a decrease sex drives. There is also ways to help solve this problem and indicating the factors prior to escalation in the relationship.

The second internet article that I was interested in reading came from a site called “Home Sweet Home.” This title describes a home that is filled with marital bliss and happiness but as you continue to read it describes domestic violence in the relationship and scenarios that have occurred in many couples in today’s society.

It is true, there are very few people out there, now a days, who fall in love and get married before they have sex.  That would be an interesting survey, I wonder what the numbers would be on that? I don’t necessarily agree that men are obligated to think about sex I think it’s biological.  But why are women so different?

- G25, Malala - Outline 2

I found this article to be interesting because it’s the opinion of a male and how he feels about being neglected in the bedroom. He says he partly to blame because he made his own bed and knew who he married, but he feels it’s frustrating to deal with. I thought it gave insight to how a male may feel. I’m not saying I agree with him because I feel if a woman is tired from constantly doing things around the house, as well as having a full time job, it they’re tired….they’re tired!!!

- G25, Monteilh - Outline 1

I thought this article was really funny. I’m not sure how serious it was but they did talk about different statistics so I thought I would throw it up there anyways. It talks about how guys have the same urge to have sex one day after, when females have the same feeling 20 days after sex. It talks about how men don’t have to pay a high price like previous generations anymore to spread their genes, so they are going to take it anywhere they can get it.

This is just another article supporting the theory that more housework proves to maintain a healthy sexual relationship and a happier marriage between a husband and wife. Just like in the book it talks about how women feel more appreciated and loved.

- G25, Ide - Outline 6

I found an article that was quite astonishing. It talks about a village in turkey by the name if Lysistrata. The women of the village were complaining about not having a proper water supply and the men were doing nothing about it. The women decided to be proactive about the situation and refused to have sex with their husbands until they had running water in their houses. Sure enough within a week or so there was a plan drawn up to start the building of new pipes. It just goes to show that sex is vital thing in a relationship and as long as women are supplying the sex, they get to be spoiled by their men.

In the lecture notes, there was mention of religion in the sexuality part, but I included this website to give a little more information on the topic. This is about how the two subjects interact, and from this site people can view other sites if they are interested.

This website talks about what men generally want in marriage. One thing that baffles many men is how long their wives can go without wanting sex. For women, they are more confused by how long a man can go without doing housework. There are unique differences among males and female but the report overall looked positive. 93% of the people they interviewed were happy with the person they had married and if given a chance to change their mind would not do so. Those men who had wives who were happy with the division of housework reported having better sex lives. The reason they report this is because their wives are not as tired or burdened or stressed. So men should do more around the house and they will get more sex!

This links talks about what the man or husband can do that correlate with sex. One thing that makes the man happy isn’t just the sex; it’s the woman’s interest in the sex. This article also brings up many questions that interview men and their thoughts in a relationship, family, and women.

- G24, Wong - Outline 8

I thought this article was interesting because not only did the article tell women to initiate sex, they also said that men want to feel connected while having sex and that sometimes women only focus on the pleasure, but men also want to feel connected. Which is what Dr. Laura was trying to explain, that men use sex to be close to their wives and not only as a release.

- G25, Imose - Outline 9

This website describes a study that was done that examined sexually satisfaction with perfectionism. It found that men or women that had perfectionist qualities we not sexually satisfied. I thought this was an interesting study because I related to the chapter which says that having a perfectionistic wife or husband usually means that the marriage is not happy.

- G25, Imose - Outline 3

This Website talks about Dr. John Grottman and what his studies have shown. This is the same doctor that Dr. Coleman also quoted in his book. They say that if a husband does household chores around the house, it makes the wife more feel respected and loved by her husband, therefore it makes for a better marriage. I agree with the reasoning on why the wife would be more willing to have more sex with her husband because feeling more respected and loved by your husband would be a good reason to feel more mentally intimate which can lead to being more willing to be physically intimate.

- G25, Imose - Outline 5

This site was written for both men and women. It explains that women view sex as an emotional act while men often view it as a physical one. The site also gives tips to couples on how to improve their sex lives and discusses the importance of intimacy in sex. The site explains to men that woman have a need to feel emotionally close to their partner. They crave intimate sex. Therefore unresolved conflicts or unhappiness can have an effect of their sexual appetite. I chose this site because I feel that it directly applies to Joshua Coleman’s ideas on housework and sex. He asserts that when men do housework it decreases their wife’s stress level, ultimately affecting her sexual interest. Both these sites assert that a woman is more likely to have sex when her husband makes her feel like he cares.

This links is like a message board for people to ask questions and advice about sex life and marriage. A man talks about how his wife of three pushes him away when he’s asking for sex, and always answers that she is just too tired. Someone else would response with the same experience having experience it or being the one not giving sex. It seems to be a very good place to discuss these problems with people who are going through the same thing.

- G24, Wong - Outline 5

I thought this site would be a valuable part of understanding more about unity marriages because they offer information on intimacy in marriages. There are a lot of things that are not unity at all, such as the large amount of attention paid to the sensorimotor aspect of the marriage. Some advice about how to deal with certain problems are definitely helpful and other anti-unity values may help us understand some ways of thinking which may prevent us from achieving a happy marriage.

This site is helpful in understanding sexual intimacy in both male and females. Although the male part is mainly dominance oriented, we can see what most people feel about the male and female sexual desires. It also offers help with what the author believes will be a way of getting over these differences in sex.

- G24, Montague - Outline 7

This site goes over what a female sexual dysfunction is and how it affects the lives of women. Some parts are a bit disturbing in that seems to put the blame on the women. But I think this will further our understanding on female sexuality and how our society views such issues.

This is also an article on About.com.  I think that if Dr. Laura read the information in this article she would be smiling wildly.  It is all about how a wife should satisfy her man and what she should sexually.  The section of the book that I outlined also touches on the subject of women submitting to their husbands’ sexual desires.

This website talks about low-sex drive men and how women who are in committed relationships wonder why their partner is uninterested in sex with them. One reason is that may be having an affair. Another reason included that the sex is unfulfilling to the man, such as poor hygiene or he just doesn't like the sexual interactions.

There are two different quotes that I found in this article that I found very interesting because it is really how society views sex today. Dr. Mark Schoen, Ph.D., wrote, “ A good sex life is an important part of an individual’s overall health…. People who have a good sex life feel better.” This goes against the Unity Model by emphasizing sex (or physical aspects) before the mind. Sex is shown ALL over the media as a wonderful thing, and it can be a wonderful thing, but only when a couple has that unity first (mental unity). That quote, which was given from a Dr., is basically telling people they will feel better if they have sex! (And since it is a doctor giving out this information, people will listen to it) No wonder people have so many problems in their relationships. If most of the world believes having sex will create a better bond in a relationship or it will make them “feel better”, it is only destroying the relationship because there is no mental unity or mental bond between a man and woman. I thought this quote was very useful at showing how the majority of the world thinks today about marriage and relationships.

I chose this site because anti unity values are so common in the media. AUV’s can be found on television shows, movies, and even through the music we listen to. And unfortunately, whether we like it or not, the media has so much influence on young people today. This site is about how the media puts so much pressure on women to feel that they have to look a certain way, just for men to like them. It also shows how the media has such a negative influence on society today.

- G25, Hasegawa - Outline 10

I chose this site because it talks about staying faithful to your partner. Adultery for various reasons is one of the many anti unity values that were discussed, so I wanted to give a link that people could visit if they had any confusion on AUV’s and what is considered infidelity. It also related back to God and gave opinions from a religious point of view.
