I agree with you on one count, Max. I am done with heterosexual relationships for the time being. There are plenty of other ways to fulfill my sexual needs and as a society, we place far too much stock in romantic love.

Even if I work up the stamina to try a heterosexual relationship again, I will never marry, nor cohabitate with, another man.

I think what you are suggesting is a relationship with two human beings where one is consistently exploited and the other shrugs or denies it. I don't see how any human relationship could work this way. I am not going to be in a relationship where my time and labor don't count.

Clearly, I'm not the only woman who feels this way.
