"‘Uproar’ offers a distressing but effective solution to the sexual problems that arise between fathers and teen-age daughters in certain households. Often they can only live in the same house together if they are angry at each other, and the slamming doors emphasize for each of them the fact that they have separate bedrooms."

This field is generally poorly replicated. I have a very low prior that all this "it's just sex" stuff is true. It seems like the sort of provocative explanation that is typical of pop psych. More catchy than true.

Probably more harmful than useful in dealing with what is ultimately the realization that free agents have different objectives and that immature agents are poor determiners of their ultimate objectives.

Somehow this guy manages to mention his own name 6 times before getting to the start of the article so he must be important.

What in the hell are you talking about?

How did you get to a place for this comment from the parent article and the conversations here?

This seems like a deranged place to go...

I guess, when I read the article I was reminded of this 'Game' from Eric Berne's book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49176.Games_People_Play). Could be a reason why (more divorce) if this tension / game was to highlight problems in the relationship.

This is disgusting and a terrible state for the status quo to be in. I much prefer an overbearing patriarchal normal over this cancerous middle ground.
