Columnist pressures women into having sex when they don’t feel like it

Dan Savage is a hugely popular sex columnist. Many times, his advice and views are a refreshing change from the usual. At other times, like in this column, he makes me squirm.
Essentially, he’s telling women to close their eyes and think of England. Like we haven’t heard this from the patriarchy a thousand times.
Here’s the quote:

“But you also commit to making sure your boyfriend is well and thoroughly milked – with your cheerful assistance – at least three additional times a week. You commit to being his full-blown sex partner once a week and his life-size, ambulatory masturbatory aide at least three times a week.”
How would that work? Well, let’s say you’re not up for sex on Wednesday because you had sex last Sunday. But he’s horny. So you plop your twat down on his face and let him eat you out while he beats off. It’ll take 10 minutes. Then let’s say he’s horny again on Friday, but you’re just not feeling it. So you treat him to a hand job while you rub your tits in his face. Another 10 minutes…”

If this is GGG (“good, giving and game”), I am getting turned off sex permanently. I no longer want a boyfriend, especially a boyfriend who reads this crap and then expects women to follow it.
Thoughts?
