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."

During the years of Bill Clinton as resident, enough people had dreams of him that someone wrote a book about it.

And yeah, I got the book an read it. And yeah, a lot of the dreams were sexual in nature.

There was even a spat of lesbians having sexual dreams of Hillary.

And yeah, yuckola.

It's not about love (which liberals are incapable of) - it's about sex (which is their world).

Considering that their “sex life” just might rely on human trafficking across our southern border, yes.

The president of the United States is also a role model.

They assured us during the Clinton years that the president of the United States is not a role model. It seems that answers from the left are driven by the narrative rather than by values and beliefs.

You didn’t hear this about conservatives when Obama was president. The hate is affecting liberals’ entire lives.

Leftists are insane to begin with.

Asking their readers to believe these folks had normal sex lives before Trump...yeah, right.
