A Right To Sleep With Ur Wife?

[spathiphyllum]

"A senior judge has said he "cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right" than the right of a husband to have sex with his wife in a case concerning a woman with learning difficulties."

What an insensitive comment. This may cost him his job.

But to give a question... Does a man have a fundamental right to sleep with his wife?

[Tilly2]

Pff!

[douglas9401]

If you can get through the snoring and constant fidgetting then, yes, as long as she doesn't pester him for sex all the time.

[woofgang]

may cost him his job? What possible argument can there be for him to keep it....assuming we know the whole story

[spathiphyllum]

well he didn't go through all that schooling in life to make one silly comment and lose his job. Maybe it should be reviewed but i mean.. I's not that savage to be fired over

[Tilly2]

It's not savage. It's antediluvian.

[spathiphyllum]

To be clear to all thread readers, this is the whole comment by the judge


""I cannot think of any more obviously fundamental human right than the right of a man to have sex with his wife - and the right of the State to monitor that," the judge said. "I think he is entitled to have it properly argued.""

[Sqad]

Yes, that is the right of every married man to have sex with his wife, but not so necessarily in non marital situations.
If this is not afforded to the man, then he has every right to seek sex elsewhere, that is if sex is important to him.
I agree with the Judge.

Pff or no Pff.!

Yes i agree tilly. However the judge isn't saying the man should be able to sleep with his wife without consent, he's saying the fact she can't give consent should be further analysed. Because, IF she could give consent, and did, then the man slept with his wife, he'd be arrested because the court said she couldn't.

Well that's my grasp but it may be wrong seems it usually is ;oP

[Tilly2]

Pff again.
Why should my husband have a right to have sex with me? What about my right to say no?
Are men's rights more important than women's?

[Mamyalynne]

It's my view that instead of making a generalised comment he should have concentrated on the finer points of the very particular case in front of him.

[bhg481]

It used to be the case that if a man didn't have intercourse with his wife she could divorce him for non-consumation.

[Tilly2]

I am answering your question, Spath.

But to give a question... Does a man have a fundamental right to sleep with his wife?

[Rockrose]

No

[douglas9401]

"I think he is entitled to have it properly argued."

It may have been difficult to heat that part over the stamping DMs, whistles and ululating from outside.

[Sqad]

Tilly....of course you have rights, it depends upon how many times that you say no, as each time may push him further away from your arms...........or it my not. It is based on individuals need and requirements....by that i mean the man's..;0)

[Ken4155]

Of course every woman has a fundamental right to refuse to have sex with anyone, including partners. And the judge was, perhaps, a tad foolish to express his decision in such a way. But surely it is not for social services to determine whether or not the wife has the mental faculties to choose whether or not she wishes to sleep with her husband. Isn't that something doctors should determine?

[Tilly2]

You're pulling my leg now, Sqad.

[Sqad]

Not at all Tilly.
Other countries deal with the problem by the men having mistresses....e.g France, Greece, Italy...widely accepted as a solution to the problem
In the UK we have seen the explosion (sorry) of Escort Agencies and prostitution, not to mention the rate of extramarital dalliances.

[johnny.5]

if the man or woman was suffering from senile dementia or any type of disease where they are not always compos mentis would they be allowed to have consensual sex ?

[spathiphyllum]

I agree with points from both sides
