She redefined “business relationships.”
A Taiwanese man filed for divorce after his wife demanded payment for sex because he was overweight and bad at sex.
The incel, surnamed Hao, married his wife, Xuan, in 2014 and has two children. South China Morning Post. But three years later, problems began to arise when his soulmate limited sex to once a month.
Two years later, in 2019, Xuan reportedly refused to have any sexual relations with him and called him “too fat” and “useless” to his relatives.
Frustrated by her enforced abstinence, her frustrated lover filed for divorce in 2021 but dropped the case after she promised to repair the relationship. Hao also registered their home in her name.
But soon after, Xuan reportedly reverted to his old sex-sabotaging ways, charging $15 for each session of sex or conversation.
The sex tax was a turning point. Hao filed for divorce for the second time this year, and the judge granted it, saying the couple’s relationship was “frozen and difficult to repair”.
Prior to the second lawsuit, the man had not spoken to his wife for two years, only communicating through (presumably free) messaging apps.
However, her fiancé did not want to dissolve the marriage and appealed to a higher court, which ultimately rejected the decision.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that a financial relationship policy has been imposed on a spouse.
In 2014, a Taiwanese wife charged her truck driver husband NT$2,000 (US$60) for affairs, meals and chats because she felt he was not contributing enough to the family.
According to New York City divorce attorney James Sexton, the two main reasons couples divorce are financial and personal issues.
“Men want more sex and women want better quality sex,” Sexton said in a recent podcast, arguing that a lack of sex leads to infidelity.
“It’s the same reason porn is more popular with men than women: Men just want to get the job done,” he said.
