Oh, I haven't even gotten into sunk costs as it pertains to marriage. Or the concept of diminishing marginal utility in a marriage, or the shape and steepness of the sexual cost curve in a marriage. Don't even get me started on the opportunity costs of marriage.

Of course, those are macro economics. Don't get me started on prostitution (kind of the opposite of monopoly). I'm a Libertarian politically, so I don't see anything wrong with a girl (or guy) earning a living that way if it's what they choose for themselves.

I think my lectures would make it to maybe the second class before the dean pulled me out with the proverbial long hook from the side of the stage.

"It's easy to intuit the feeling of a loss of control as a supply/demand dynamic in which Partner 2 keeps the value of sex high for Partner 1, but I'd say it's more that the sex doesn't have an objective intrinsic value. The problem the couple faces - and they both face it - is that Partner 2 doesn't desire Partner 1 sexually. Whether or not Partner 2 enacts the sex that Partner 1 values, it doesn't change the value of that sex to Partner 2. It likely emphasizes Partner 2's aversion and disgust. It's simply not what Partner 2 wants to do with Partner 1."

Well said!!!
