Many were of the she-said-no-but-actually-meant-yes variety: “In her heart, she wants to have sex. She’s just saying no. If I’m removing her clothes and she’s doing nothing then in her heart she wants it. Then, what’s wrong with that?” There were rapes by coercion: “I threaten her and of course it happens.” There were marital rapes, sometimes with violence, sometimes without, of both wives. (No wonder the one who could leave had left!) All because “sex is the thing a man can’t live without.”
