The most common response to this guy’s remarks seem to be along the lines of “He must not be doing it right,” or, perhaps more crudely, “He just needs  good BJ.” For my part, I don’t care one tiny bit what this guy personally thinks about sex. I only care that he’s trying to push one narrow view of sex onto everybody.

If a person doesn’t want to have sex except to procreate, that’s their thing, and no one except maybe their partner has any say in the decision. If someone doesn’t want to have sex at all, same deal. Being positive about sex does not mean making it mandatory in some way. Sex is awesome and joyful and magical and painful and terrifying and so on and so forth, and we still can’t seem to bring it up without making snickering quips about it.

To everyone else, please lay off the “he just needs to get laid” jokes. For one thing, they’re not helping. For another, by making jokes like that, you’re missing the opportunity to mine the gold that is Monty Python:
