I agree that "spousal rape" is pure BS, but for a different reason. Rape is just rape. Spousal rape, if real rape, is just rape. There's no need for the add-on of "spousal" to the term IMO.

Holding someone down and forcing them to have sex is wrong. Sometimes having sex because they feel obligated to is something else entirely, aka "wifely duties", which I think is more along the lines of what lesath is getting at. We do lots of things in relationships we'd probably rather not do, but we do them because they make the person we're with happy. That's part of the bargain we make when we have relationships, that we'll do what it takes to make each other happy and for the good of the relationship itself. This is lost on a lot of people these days, and in some ways it's even been criminalized. And we wonder why divorce rates are what they are, why people are marrying later than ever, why men are turning to porn instead of the real thing, and that we're in free-fall as a society.
