>> The results are unmistakable: exponential increases in addiction; exposure of children to scenes of brutality; loss of feeling towards spouses; disregard for marital vows and breakup of the family through divorce.
Am I the only one that thinks that my “feeling toward [my] spouse” and my regard “for marital vows” is not really any concern of the government (or Ed Meese)?
I think we’re barking up the wrong tree here. In moderation, occasional use of a “marital aid” is a bit of a “no harm, no foul” scenario ... much like occasional moderate use of alcohol or tobacco.
The security of my marriage and safety of my children are my problem ... not Ed Meese’s. This smacks of the nanny state cigarette lawsuits (an upcoming gun manufacturers suits) to me.
Though I respect Ed Meese greatly, I must part with him on this issue.

I can just see this grumpy old man juxtaposed to a consenting young couple.... what’s he going to do, rip them apart from each other?
No, but he’ll start a webpage about them.
I guess it’s only coincidence that Ed feels the only acceptable context for sex is the one in which he is actually able to succeed — once every five years. And not for love or passion, but because someone either felt sorry for him or had equally low and desperate self-esteem.
