“Some males do have a right to a female’s body.”
No. None.
“Husbands have a right to their wives body.”
I am a husband. I do NOT have a right to anything on her body. She can and has said ‘no’ to anything I want to do with her. She has even said ‘no’ after penetration and I respected that because there is no ‘point of no return,’ either.
“Vis versa too. 1 Corinthians 7:4″
Dude, she can’t even make me shave off my beard. She CAN withhold her favors to encourage me in a particular direction, but that’s exactly because she is the only one with a right to her body.
“Unborn boys have a right to their mother’s body.”
The unborn aren’t citizens until they get to the daylight end of the birth canal. They have no rights and certainly not a superior right to the woman’s body than the woman has.
ETA: Meant to say: The only right i have with respect to my wife’s body is an expectation of privacy. We each pretty much understood that our relationship was not open to outsiders, and if that changes, there needs to be quite a bit of discussion. And that’s before the fact,not after getting caught.

Those who respect her and who are invited to share a nice intimate moment?

That's not a right, it's someone imposing himself while quoting from old savagery of the same abuse ideology, to justify his abuse and likely his crime.

No ancient tradition to quote for this one? In any case, here again, if they're welcome. And the lump of cells may not even be a boy yet if abortion happens.
Is your marriage contract also including the "wife's absolute right on your balls"? Do you also call sperm "boys and girls"? But it's still a false equivalence, you don't have to risk your health and life and endure months of pregnancy plus the pain of giving birth.
It makes one wonder about if you care about your own responsibility once a child is born...
Leaving morality aside, speaking as an unhappily single male virgin, the thought of having sex with a wife who is only acting out of obligation - let alone who actively wants not to, but has no right to say no - is absolutely unappealing, to put it mildly. I long for tenderness and primal passion, to love and be loved. And nothing could come further.

You're right, meaning that my first sentence was not really technically correct. Some people cannot really consent even though they may appear to be consenting and some would technically and legally be consenting adults when it doesn't really mean that going intimate is the best idea; it's a privilege and one that still could be abused, plus a responsibility, that can involve many factors including the protection against disease and/or pregnancy, relationship, respect and honesty, where it's also nice to be able to determine what the intent of the other really is (not always easy or possible, of course)...
Confused?
