"I don't even recognize a woman who communicates her needs, acknowledges any role in her partner's need for intimacy, and displays even a vestigial craving..."

"... for anything other than sleep, food, and more sleep. I'm staying in shape so that I can claw maybe a decade or so of sex and happiness between the ages of 45 and 60 for myself once I sever the dead limb I'm married to off my body."

Says a commenter at "The Woman So Sick of Screens She Can’t Watch Porn" (New York Magazine). I think that comment is written by a man. The screen name is Enquido. That means "inquisitive" in Spanish.

Something really ugly about "vestigial," "claw," and "sever... limb" so close together.

So that was a man commenting on His current wife. Got it.

Temujin said...

She sounds sweet.

Mary Beth said...

If all his wife craves is "sleep, food, and more sleep", it sounds like she may be suffering from depression. Maybe if he helped her find a way to make her life better, his would get better too.

Wow. Get a divorce now lady.

Step away from the trashy reads, Althouse.

What boring, stupid people.

No wonder Ariana Grande hates America.

If aliens visited I think one of the things they would have a hard time understanding is why humans still get married. I know I do. All that clawing and severing just doesn't seem worth it.

narciso said...

maybe this jackalope is the problem, this is the publication that covered for Epstein and Weinstein for decades, after all

Carol said...

My first boyfriend woke me up one morning complaining all I ever did was sleep. Christ I was 19 years old.

That one didn't last long.

I think a woman would have chosen "Enquida" as her nom du comment

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

Oh my God. What naked misery, on both sides. I hope they get help.


narciso said...

he might get a fishcleaner cocktail if he's not careful,

daskol said...

Kinda funny that the other comments are on how nice it is not to have a miserable weirdo degenerate doing the sex diary, but you get such a miserable comment anyway. Misery is hard to shake.

rhhardin said...

As Dr. Laura said to a caller who said that sex wasn't a priority for her anymore, "Is your marriage a priority?"

bagoh20 said...

None of this would come up if she just fucked him a lot.

If everyone around you are assholes, maybe it's not them.

"If aliens visited I think one of the things they would have a hard time understanding is why humans still get married. I know I do."

If you asked me after my first marriage, I'd agree with you. After my second (26 years so far), it's been more wonderful than I could have imagined.

What did a wise man once said?

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

She would probably fuck him a lot if she wasn’t depressed and if he loved her and wanted her to get help instead of boasting of his violent loathing of her.

He sounds like a real peach. Heads up, all the single ladies: this ones coming to market soon! It’s your lucky day!

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

Those of us in happy marriages are so, so lucky and we know it.

Sounds like... Tony Montana?

You're doing it wrong.

"The Woman So Sick of Screens She Can’t Watch Porn"

I don't even know how that makes sense. The LED screen is suppressing her sex life?

This is looking for a problem to validate her cognitive dissonance. She's character in a Woody Allen flick.

exhelodrvr1 said...

Probably Hillary

Howard said...

It's just a different level of Coyote ugly

TrespassersW said...

Not watching porn is a bad thing?

TheOne Who Is Not Obeyed said...

"Something really ugly about "vestigial," "claw," and "sever... limb" so close together."

Maybe Enquido is channeling his inner Lorena Bobbit.

William said...

I read the article that attracted the comment. Nothing that is prurient is alien to me. Sadly, it wasn't that prurient. The sex descriptions sounded part clinical and part humble brag. Look at me. I'm having great sex in quarintine. Eat your hearts out. Nothing about whether she was wearing cotton panties or expensive Victoria Secret panties when she called her boyfriend asking for sex. The woman involved is a dermatologist. Dermatologists are superficial and have no profound understanding of sex. They think beauty is skin deep.

"... once I sever the dead limb I'm married to off my body".

Put up or shut up, pussy. Gawd all the people I meet saying they HATE their marriage and are going to end it..... but not right now.

"I'm staying in shape so that I can claw maybe a decade or so of sex and happiness between the ages of 45 and 60 for myself once I sever the dead limb I'm married to off my body."

I guess the vibrator thing didn't work for her.

Any surprise that her partner isn't interested in having sex with this miserable woman?

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...

"Enquido"? Ha!!

Querida!

Leland said...

I don't see enough in the comment to determine gender, and I've been told not to assume gender. With a pen name like that, I definitely wouldn't assume gender.

Birches said...

What a terrible thing to say.

If it doesn’t spark joy, get rid of it.

"9:00 a.m. I have an hour off (my boyfriend and daughter are in the park and I don't feel like working. I decide to get out my vibrator and watch some porn. I open up my computer, then I close it again. I'm actually so sick of Zooms and online music classes that I don't want to get off while looking at this thing. I use my imagination instead. I think about a gang bang with three men and me. One dick in my mouth, one in my pussy, and one jerking off on me."

1. Bernie was right.
2. Validates my qualms about the effectiveness of widespread telecommuting.
3. Good use of Oxford comma in final sentence to provide clarity.
4. 9:00 a.m.? Damn, Doc. Doesn't that make the rest of the day a bit of a letdown?
5. I have a mole I'd like her to take a look at.
6. You've cum a long way, Baby. ERA now!
7. Laslo does it better.
8. I remember when Althouse read Supreme Court decisions instead of dirty stories. Those were the days.

Jamie said...

Dear Penthouse: I never thought this would happen to me, but...

Ridiculous.

Jamie said...

Plus - daughter and boyfriend taking a walk in the park while mom contemplates watching porn and masturbating at 9am raises every hackle I have.

Jeff said...

Inquiring minds want to know -- Were the daughter and her boyfriend properly masked on their walk in the park? Was the vibrator properly sterilized? Did she put a condom on it? Wear gloves? Or maybe just a bag over her head?

jg said...

If there's no sacred love, then women shouldn't expect to be valued after 45 without effort to cultivate some other kind of love. That is sad (and intentionally, provocatively brutal).
