Have Any Of The A2K Men Ever Recieved This Look?

Bill Maher's Take

I'm going to throw the remote through the TV if one more news twink says something on the order of "When we come back, we'll look into what drives a successful man like Eliot Spitzer to risk it all..."

Oh yes, let's convene a panel of experts for that. Let me help you: because he wants to get his nut off! Stop with all the analysis! It never ends, I hear all these people talking about how powerful people think they can get away with anything, so it's a thrill, or that it's for this psychological reason or this one -- please, he wanted to CUM WITH SOMEONE! Stop overthinking this: people need sex, and married people generally aren't getting it. Studies show (OK, I'm making that up, but it's true nonetheless) that people married 20 years only have sex on Valentine's Day, their anniversary, and their birthdays. You can hate me as the messenger, but it's true -- how can anyone be expected to still want to score with someone you've been having sex with for a score? Mr. Spitzer simply wanted what humans desire, to feel that sensational sensation when you're hot for someone, to touch and hug and bump and grind -- this is really not that complicated! If you're ascribing more to it than that, it's probably really more about your own fear that your spouse wants to do the same thing.

Or is doing it. Married people are often starved for sex, touch, affection, not to mention the kinky stuff that wifey definitely won't do. So if you find yourself at such a place in life -- and this is most certainly wives as well -- where you're dieing like this, you can do one of three things: get divorced, cheat, or continue to live a life with little or no passion, sex, etc. It's easy to point fingers, but how about some recognition that society's rules are so at odds with human nature that there are actually no good options for an Eliot Spitzer, and the ZILLIONS OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE HIM, many of who are tut-tut-ing today. I guess a guy is a hero who sticks it out and leads a life of quiet desperation. I'm not so sure it's heroic to make him.

But prostitution is dead easy.

How would you know? Have you ever worked in the sex trade? Have you ever used the services of a sex worker?

Prostitution should be legalized and regulated. Guys will still pay big bucks for the pros. There is a lot more too it than just spreading your legs. Your wife can do that.

I am wondering if spendius is ever going to try to defend his outrageous position.

Typical male excuse again. In the end it's always the woman's fault,
when her husband finds relief with a hooker. Silda doesn't strike me as
a rigid sexless wife. Yes, she probably wasn't into spanking Elliot while
he was soiling his diaper - who would? Yet, to blame her for his much
needed sexual release, is just a cheap shot, even for Maher.

That's a bit old fashioned Cal.

I didn't see it as an attack on Silda. I read it as an attack on marriage and the fact that humans are not naturally monogamous.

So is it tit for tat, then? If a woman cheats it's because she's not getting any, getting enough, getting off (excuse my vulgarity)? Is her man disappointing her in some way?

Yes Mame, but that's the part where men tune out. Let's face it, they
never would admit to not being able to satisfy their wives, let alone not
giving them what they want.

i suggest you all just get naked and jump in a pile... I'll observe and report...

spendius, you're an intelligent, well written, articulate person, you have a great deal of contributions to many subjects, however, when it comes to women and sex, I truly think you're all theory, and no practice, so I cannot take too seriously here.

you've been hurt haven't you CJ? Disappointed? Spurned by Gus and wounded beyond healing?

Have you ever had electrodes attached to your body to measure the tell-tale signs objectively?

Have you ever read Reich?

Of course I've been hurt, who hasn't? But never sexually. I guess, I always have been lucky in this department, and quite satisfied.
