A Malaysian group urging wives to avoid marital problems by fulfilling their husbands' sexual desires like prostitutes has angered politicians and women's rights groups, the New Straits Times reported on Sunday.
The Obedient Wives Club, which was set up by a group of Muslim women, said domestic violence, infidelity and prostitution stemmed from a lack of belief in God and a failure of women to satisfy their husbands.
The club's president, Rohaya Mohamed, said it was open to women of all religions and would conduct seminars on how to be a good wife as well as offer marriage counseling.
"A man married to a woman who is as good or better than a prostitute in bed has no reason to stray. Rather than allowing him to sin, a woman must do all she can to ensure his desires are met," Rohaya told the newspaper.
Females outnumber males in Malaysian higher education institutions, comprising 65 percent of the intake at public universities last year, according to government data.
But rights groups say women are still often victims of gender bias, and have protested what they considered the club's demeaning portrayal of women as a cause of social problems.
"Abusive men often use women's behavior as a sick justification, but in the end, their actions are their responsibility," said Ratna Osman, acting executive director at rights group Sisters-in-Islam.
"To hinge fidelity, domestic violence and the fulfillment of a husband's responsibilities purely on a wife's capacity to be obedient, stimulate sexual arousal ... is not only demeaning to wives, but to husbands as well," said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Jalil.

A wise man on ch once quoted someone who said [not verbatim], 'give me the best food in the world at home ewweryday, I would still want to try out other restaurants'.
Whether the wife satisfies the man ewwweryday or not, if he has to stray, he will.

"Just because I have steak every day does not mean I don't want to try pizza"
I think it was more along those lines.

All men want to stray. Whether they do or not depends on an individual.

I don't buy that. Some men don't want to stray. Doesn't make them better or worse than others. But, for some men marital fidelity is paramount.

This is what happens when you look to religion as a panacea.
