I can’t say I agree with everything Steve says about marriage, but I’ve got to admit that he makes a few good points.

Especially this one:

Sex is great. Well, so is Mexican food. But you don’t have to have Mexican food regularly to be happy. People talk as if sex is like oxygen, but that’s bullshit. It’s five percent of a contented life, even if you have a strong sex drive.

I’ve made a similar argument in the past, especially after I was told that encouraging abstinence was essentially telling people to ignore their needs. Sex is a desire, not a need. Period.
