It's an idea that is pretty common everywhere I think. Although not many countries have organised clubs about it!

Reminds me of Jerry Hall's famous quote.

And of all the threads on here where a woman says her sex drive is on the blink, and is told to get on with it otherwise her OH will have sex with prostitutes...

It's just we don't have a special club.

From the article:

'But with members already numbering some 1,000 worldwide, '

1,000 wordwide? That's not a lot is it?

This ties in to the many glossy magazine articles that tell you how to keep your man happy. There is an attitude I come across a lot that if your man turns to porn, prostitutes or another woman it's because you have failed to be a good partner. I can't believe that they believe your husband can have sex whenever he wants or the angels will curse you!! What an awful belief.

What about that submissive wife thing/book that seems to rear its head on here from time to time? That's pretty much the same thing for westernised secular women I think.

There is always a woman who comes on saying something along the lines of, "You can mock if you like, but it really does work - my DH is much more attentive and sensitive etc etc"

It always makes me want to say: yes - because you're doing everything his way - bet he won't be quite as attentive and sensitive when you disagree over something and stand your ground. What does that remind me of? Oh yes, an abusive relationship.

How to get your partners to be nice to you - do everything they ask. Hmm Not an equal relationship is it.

The first FB page has 13 followers. What a well-supported movement.

It looks a bit like a cover for a tights fetish group.

My fave bit: "When we said that husbands should treat their wives like first-class prostitutes, we were not putting wives on the same level with prostitutes....We are talking about first-class elite types, not street hooker types ? Ordinary prostitutes can only provide good sex, but not love and affection, which only a wife can provide"

First-class elite types!! Mad! Bonkers!
