Treat Having Sex with Your Husband like it’s Your Job

June 25, 2019 By Libby Anne

Just when I thought patriarchal blogger Lori Alexander couldn’t go any lower, she went and posted an article titled Your Husband’s Sexuality Is a Gift from God to You. I think my skin crawled just reading that. Still, since I’m an optimistic person who likes to think the best of people, I wondered if maybe—just maybe—this was Lori’s moment to talk about female pleasure. No. It’s not.
