Has Trump wrecked our sex life? "Post-Trump Sex Disorder" is real, says sex therapist
Salon ^

Posted on 02/14/2019 9:55:49 AM PST by MNDude

nald Trump has made America's mental health crisis much worse.

Beginning with his presidential campaign and through to his third year as president, the United States has experienced an increase in anxiety, suicide, depression, and other mental health problems. The president of the United States is also a role model. His or her behavior influences the public. And as documented by Dr. James Gilligan in his book "Why Some Politicians are More Dangerous Than Others," Trump's assault on the country's mental health is part of a much larger pattern: the Republican Party and the conservative movement have, for decades, advanced an agenda which has hurt the overall health and well-being of most Americans.

Donald Trump's negative impact on mental health extends to the intimate sexual lives of many people as well.

What is "Post-Traumatic Trump Disorder"? How does Donald Trump's misogyny and other unhealthy behavior towards women reflect deeper systemic cultural problems in America around gender, sex, and intimacy?

In an effort to answer these questions I recently spoke with Dr. Susan Block. “Dr. Suzy” is the founder and director of the Dr. Susan Block Institute for the Erotic Arts & Sciences. Block is perhaps most well-known for her HBO TV special "Radio Sex TV with Dr. Susan Block," and appearances on HBO series such as "Real Sex" and "Cathouse." She's also a New York Times bestselling author and has been a frequent guest on such TV shows and networks as Oprah, Nightline, and MTV. Her most recent book is "The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure."

There is something mentally wrong with anyone whose sex life is so fragile that it is influenced by the presence of a specific person in the White House.

This is a good thing. Fewer liberal, leftwing moonbats in the future. Now get a handle on and stop illegal immigration and the Trumpeters will be in power for the next 50 years!

“There is something mentally wrong with anyone whose sex life is so fragile that it is influenced by the presence of a specific person in the White House.”

I agree-—I had my five kids in the JFK/Johnson years.:-)

“Has Trump wrecked our sex life? “Post-Trump Sex Disorder” is real, says sex therapist”

if this results in the breeding of fewer budding communists, then i would say this is yet another salutatory result of the “Trump Effect” ...

The president of the United States is also a role model. His or her behavior influences the public.

44 individuals have held the office of President so far...all of them have been bearers of the toxic Y chromosome. At least 42 have identified as males. (I'm not sure about Buchanan or about the most recent ex-President.)

the United States has experienced an increase in anxiety, suicide, depression, and other mental health problems.


No, that would be HALF the country. The other half is loving every moment and drinking in the tears of anxious, suicidal, and depressed nimrods who can’t handle losing an election.
