DINS: double-income, no-sex couples

Gender Studies

Helena Oliviero in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

From Michele Weiner-Davis' "The Sex-Starved Marriage" to Barry McCarthy's "Rekindling Desire" and Valerie Raskin's "Great Sex for Moms," books are increasingly available to help spice up all-snooze bedrooms.

The low-sex buzz has even spawned a catchy acronymn: DINS, for double-income, no-sex couples.

Many couples find the demands of work and home leave little time or energy for sex

Why don't you silly heteros decide to make a little less money and have more fun with each other?
Asking why heteros don't make less and have more fun is the eternal question. Then again, if they did, they wouldn't be heteros, now would they? And yet again, sex is what unites us and divides us.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about DINS: double-income, no-sex couples. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
