Re: I'll do it because I want to, not because you tell me to
by Freki

My point is that doing nice things for your partner without being asked and keeping yourself (as much as possible) attractive and alluring to him/her ARE obligations, or should be. They certainly shouldn't be boring or demeaning!

I think that when being good in bed becomes a chore, and looking sexy leads to sex which is a chore, and cooking is a chore, cleaning up is a chore, and doing favours is a chore, that is simply a sign of an unhappy relationship. Nothing to do with feminism.

PS while I do most of the cleaning, he picks up the foeces-related jobs (catbox, snake tank, doggie duty, scrub toilet) so I feel it is fair.
