I learned a word today that belongs to us: stultify

Per Webster:

1    to allege or prove to be of unsound mind and hence not responsible

2    to cause to appear or be stupid, foolish, or absurdly illogical

3    a :  to impair, invalidate, or make ineffective :  negate
     b :  to have a dulling or inhibiting effect on

Jesus, just pick an adjective and you've nailed some facet of exjw-ism.

The Bored Sex - Women, more than men, tend to feel stultified by long-term exclusivity—despite having been taught that they were designed for it. - My reply to Infovore777

I saw this comment by Infovore777

>One of the major reasons women stop putting out in marriage is not cause they are narcissists. It is because they lose their sex drive due to eating the Standard Ameican Diet. Without a sex drive they cannot have sex with their husband same way as a limp dick cannot fuck. Women have a different relationship with arousal but it is still very important and expresses itself strongly preventing sexual acts. Where as men stop functioning on an erectile level women stop functioning on the level of being capable of being aroused.

And remembered this article I came across once that basically said that women lose sex drive from monogamy itself and thought that it would be interesting for everyone here to see it.

Some interesting quotes from it

>Andrew Gotzis, a Manhattan psychiatrist with an extensive psychotherapy practice, has been treating a straight couple, whom we’ll call Jane and John, for several years. They have sex about three times a week, which might strike many as enviable, considering that John and Jane—who are in their 40s—have been together for nearly two decades. Based on numbers alone, one might wonder why they need couples counseling at all.
>
>But only one of them is happy with the state of play. And it isn’t Jane.
>
>“The problem is not that they are functionally unable to have sex, or to have orgasms. Or frequency. It’s that the sex they’re having isn’t what she wants,” Gotzis told me in a recent phone conversation. And like other straight women he sees, “she’s confused and demoralized by it. She thinks there’s something wrong with her.” John, meanwhile, feels criticized and inadequate. Mostly he can’t understand why, if his wife is having sex with him and having orgasms, she wants more. Or different.

>Despite “fears of seeming sex addicted, unfaithful, or whorish” (Gotzis doesn’t like these terms, but they speak to his patient’s anxieties, he explained), Jane has tried to tell John, in therapy and outside of it, what she’s after. She wants to want John and be wanted **by him in that can’t-get-enough-of-each-other-way experts call “limerence”—the initial period of a relationship when it’s all new and hot. Jane has bought lingerie and booked hotel s
