Must have sucked to be a married guy in the late 1800's

See Advice to New Brides

In an almost Victorian like attitude, these supposed church groups promoted that sex "was evil, but neccessary to bear children". Men, like animal beasts, would request sex at least once a day of their wives.

So, the idea was to let the man have sex only maybe once a week for the first year of marriage, then once a month by a few years of marriage, etc etc.

To this day, this is the reason most bachellor's don't want to get married, ie.

Soon to be groom "Awesome! Once I'm married, I can get blowjobs all the time"
Soon to be bride "Awesome! Once I'm married, I'll never have to give a blowjob again".
