supposedly most men would just be happy with a willing and able partner That is one very dangerous comment, it is why explaining a SSM is so very hard. This implies that sex is just a physical act, that no bonding or emotional connections are being made. If this is true, then the husband should be able to have sex with ANYONE that is willing, and the wife should actually ENCOURAGE this, afterall, it is just an activity between two people. Most "willing" wives would scream bloody murder if their husbands started f#cking someone else. If the girl next door is "willing" to do me, and if sex is just about finding a willing partner, my wife should be happy for me. Truth is that most wives would be very UNHAPPY if this happened, because they know that deep emotional connections could be made.
