She has suggested more radical-seeming potential fixes, too, like opening up the marriage.
That doesn't sound to me like the suggestion of a bored woman, but a woman who doesn't love her husband.
But Meana discovered that “institutionalization of the relationship, overfamiliarity, and desexualization of roles” in a long-term heterosexual partnership mess with female passion especially—a conclusion that’s consistent with other recent studies.
In other words, the man stopped being a man. 100% agree with this. BUT, that's just half of the issue, with the other half being proper woman selection and screening. For instance, if a 30yrs old woman who has had 5 relationships, now marries a guy and 2 years later blames the loss of passion on the institutionalization of the relationship and on the man, I call BS. The elephant in the room is that she entered this marriage with a ton of baggage so there's no surprise that the poor sap collapsed under its weight.
Lastly, the author of the article, Wednesday Martin, is a feminist, so this thinly veiled encouraging of women to be hoes doesn't come as a surprise.
Women cannot be pigeonholed; the glory of human sexuality is its variation and flexibility. So when we speak of desire in the future, we should acknowledge that the fairer sex thirsts for the frisson of an encounter with someone or something new as much as, if not more, than men do—and that they could benefit from a gray-zone hall pass, too.
