Ethics and Unmet Needs: Who's To Blame?

This podcast challenges conventional notions of ethical behavior in relationships, particularly when it comes to sex. The author argues that societal expectations often unfairly prioritize one partner's needs over the other's, potentially leading to an imbalance where one partner's needs are routinely ignored. Specifically, she challenges the idea that it is ethical for one partner to suppress their sexual needs in the name of love while the other partner is free to withhold intimacy. The author asserts that both partners have a responsibility to meet each other's basic needs, and that compromise should be a collaborative effort, not a one-sided sacrifice.
