To Better Understanding

Hi all,
This may be a shade off topic but I hope this archive will indulge me.
In a world where more than 50% of marriages end in divorce maybe it is worthwhile to take a look at one possible idea to reduce the divorce rate with all the misery and unhappiness that divorce entails.
Little girls, even today are being brought up to believe in Prince Charming: the handsome masterful guy who will sweep them up and solve all their problems for them. All they have to do is stay beautiful by using Brand Y and Product X as supplied by their kindly uncle, Big Business and his magic advertising elves.
Most women, by the time they reach their mid 30s are thoroughly disillusioned with men who invariably fail to live up to women's expectations of them.
The reason is of course that the expectations are unrealistic.
Say we were to have classes for girls around puberty that told them the true facts about men? They should be taught that Prince Charming is merely a fantasy for masturbation purposes only. That most guys are horny as hell while they are young and fade rapidly after about 45. That true romantic love as girls see it is seldom part of a man's life experience. Men are always game for novelty however and are apt to fall for any new pretty face that offers herself. It is not so much a character failing, merely that God, nature and/or evolution has designed men that way. Like Jessica Rabbit isn't a slut, that's how she was drawn.
Furthermore, nearly all men, certainly those with any creativity to them, are possessed of a few kinks and weird traits. There is a whole range of such traits: castration and penectomy fantasies, cross-dressing, spanking, cuckolding, sissification, bondage and fetishes to name but a few.
Ironically these traits, which are harmless and sometimes even thoroughly enjoyable, are never discussed in the magazines. The mags tend to dwell on sick perverts who get drunk and beat up their wives, which is no pleasure for anyone. Or bastards who molest little kids or rape or commit other harmful acts of violence.
Because of their ignorance most young women are shocked, appalled and disgusted at their man's kinks, if he is ever brave/stupid enough to tell her about them. From that moment on the marriage is in peril. The rocks of divorce loom and far too many couples needlessly run on to them.
If a woman understood that her man's kinks are normal, harmless and an integral part of him, that a little indulgence of them would give a strong binding effect to her to her marriage, there would be a lot less divorce. The old adage that the guy who gets steak at home ain't goin' out for a hamburger is as true as ever. Perhaps nature puts them there so that a sophisticated wife can get a handle on him?
The time to teach women this is at puberty when they can digest it and assimilate it into their general life skills. At the same time they can be taught to avoid violence and recognise the kind of guy who is likely to beat them up.
Isn't it time we stopped the bull and told it like it is? The world will be a better place when eventually we do.
Any thoughts or comments from all you good souls out there?
