As a masterpiece of Search Engine Friendly, linkbait-ridden content it wins hands down, a fact surely borne out by their stonkingly fantastic online readership figures which report a mammoth 43% yoy increase.
Talking with friends, it seems the online DM is everyone's dirty little secret.....it's just that no one wants to admit to it.
All of which I think makes for a pretty compelling argument that the mammoth - nay, huuuuge - quantity of comments and feedback garnered by their articles covering 'sexless marriages' or 'celibate' individuals is a pretty darn insightful take on the State of the Nation. And it's not pretty.
Do a search for ' sexless' or 'celibate' on the online search box and you'll see exactly what I mean.
In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that the comments make for more interesting revealing than the articles themselves, which normally feature some poor so-and-so revealing blah blah why they don't like sex anymore (invariably a woman) or worse, some poor hefty hideaway, who quite honestly you'd have a hard time imagining anyone would want to get jiggy with. But I digress.
Read the comments and you'll see a marked difference in the male vs female take on the importance of sex within a marriage or ltr. More often than not it's women downplaying its importance and the men complaining about their wives or OH's having given up the ghost.
Obviously my own situation was somewhat unusual in that it was my male OH who refused to have sex, but even so I can't help but sympathise with the mostly male feedback. When someone refuses to have sex with you and makes you forced to contend with a dried up, sexless situation, it sucks - and not in a good way.
Oh, and that platitude that everyone and their dog seems to be trotting out in the feedback, you know the one that goes "sex is the icing and the cherry on the cake" - total boll*cks. You wouldn't be saying that if you were in my shoes!
