Another possible contradiction

March 17, 2009

Tell me if the following ideas are contradictory:

1: Single men and women are expected to completely abstain from all sexual activity.
2: Married women must please their husbands sexually.

It seems to me that if we expect singles to abstain, and we consider that possible and right and good; then to turn around and tell married men that they don’t have to abstain, and if we imply (and it WILL be implied)  that a man’s adultery is excusable if his wife wasn’t pleasing him sexually…

Viva la double standard!
