Jim: I appreciate your post, but I have to tell you that I have great problems understanding where Driscoll or anyone else is coming from.

1) Everyone knows a woman doesn’t want to have sex every day.
2) Reducing this to a “woman provides a release for the man” act is another issue entirely. Some women may freely choose this kind of relationship, but most women won’t, and no reading of “your body is not your own” implies that a woman should provide sexual release for a man on a daily basis.
3) I’m totally in awe of the lack of consideration for a woman’s emtional, physical and family stress that Driscoll’s comment implies.
4) In a real marriage, with illness, children, emergencies, whatever, it just won’t happen.
5) How can I say this? When Driscoll talks like this, it seems demeaning to men. Yes, we have physical/sexual needs, but to quote someone famous, “I am not an animal. I am a human being.”

BTW….there were 20 comments waiting to be approved at IM when I got back on line tonight. A record for a few hours and one post.
