@dougweaverart: Replying to @scientistdownunder Your body is not a chore, and your body can only be used as a part of a transaction if it is done with bodily autonomy, active consent, without coercion, and right to refuse. #Relationship #intimacy #tt #greenscreen
Because intimacy is a byproduct of desire. It should never fall in the same category as a chore.

Elena Bjørn | Hobby Magpie :
Maintaining a home is something anyone with a home has to do. He would have to do household chores whether he was married or not. he would still have to do a job. And taking things to the tip (the landfill/junkyard/recycling centre) is not FOR one partner, it’s for the household. Intimacy isn’t a necessary function of maintaining a home. It isn’t necessary full stop. And therefore should never be an obligation.

…and they shouldn’t want you to. Your partner is a human being whose desire and enjoyment should matter very much to you. And if they don’t, you don’t love them, you love having them. And that is a very different thing.

The fact that people do not understand the difference is so hard to comprehend

HUGE difference between a chore and your BODILY AUTONOMY

house chores are not something your partner does for you specifically, it is a contribution to the joint tasks of the household that benefit you both

Wow. How can anybody compare those two things? Mind blowing.

It's also your body. My husband doesn't like being tickled much, but just imagine me telling him I made dinner so I can tickle him when I want.

My body isn't ever negotiable. If I don't want to, betraying myself is way different than a chore I don't want to do.

Idk if I agree with this take. I think the big thing here is the word "obligation" I don't feel "obligated" but I WANT to do something nice for my partner who I love, loves me, and equally takes part in the household. I might not feel "in the mood" but I still want to do something for him. That's not "selling my body." I think you got too hooked on the specific examples commenter used and missed the general meaning.

Because people think they're transactions. Relationships should not be transactional.

For everyone in the comments saying “oh wow how can you not just KNOW the difference” it’s nice that you do but it’s extremely important that we as a society constantly try to understand why we feel certain ways about things

I think they’re more describing like a situation where like “I’m not super in the mood for sex, but because it’s important to my partner and I value doing things to make them happy (though I don’t feel coerced or manipulated or anything), I’m going to do this anyway, in part on the theory that sometimes they do things they don’t particularly want to do and that they aren’t obligated to do but because they like making me happy, and I’d like to go out of my way for them.” And like I see that sort of reasoning as part of the give and take of any healthy relationship.

Goodness. I don’t want anything to do with obligatory intimacy. If we don’t mutually desire it at a baseline and in the moment - pass!

I think the key is understanding the difference between intimacy and a transactional/physical only connection. intimacy can have many forms, however once you start seeing it as an obligation or a chore, the intimacy is gone.

Uncle Granny🇨🇦 :
intimacy should not be part of bargaining because it is not a chore or a duty or a physical need. It is a sacred act between two bonded humans to help.strengthen that bond. Not a commodity.

A tip run (mostly used in Australian, British, and New Zealand English) refers to the act of driving a vehicle loaded with household rubbish, garden waste, or unwanted items to a local waste disposal facility (the "tip").
