Personally, I don't see what all the controversy is about...

A mortified Ryan Lochte is desperately exercising damage control after his mother claimed on national TV that he only does ‘one-night-stands.’ Now both the swimming star and his mother have tried to clarify that she meant to say that he only takes girls on dates as he doesn’t have time for a serious relationship. ‘She meant since the last four years I just wanted to focus on swimming, and I didn't really have time for a relationship,’ he told Us Weekly on Friday.

You'd need health insurance!
That's one reason that the young professional athlete should be counseled to use a portion of the high early earnings as downpayment on a couple of well located apartment buildings. A management company runs them, and while they won't make you rich, they'll keep you comfortable for life. And if push come to shove (the trophy wife gets the house and most of the assets when you're caught messin' 'round with a female posse member) you'll always have a place to live!
Here we go again..they are drug tested 5-6 times per year especially after every major swim meet.
If Phelps is smoking pot and is doing that great maybe I should start smoking pot again...

Who needs a drug test....we saw the pictures and he said himself that he is a druggie (he called himself stupid too).

This mother is a loser.

He doesn’t seem like the brightest guy in the world.

Oh, c’mon. I don’t know anything about this woman, but, as a mother who has inadvertently embarrassed her sons over the years, I am cracking up at this. We moms don’t always keep up with the changing lingo.
I think you could just hand him a mirror and he’d wander off, happy as a clam.
Agreed, Mom’s misusing slang terms is as old as slang itself. I think that’s all that happened here.
OK Mom. I had a Mom too. She also was fond of using expressions with little understanding of their meaning. I never confronted her. Dad was less kind.
Really? So most people can't last 15 minutes without feeling the need to urinate? Sounds like a medical problem to me.
The more women you "date", the greater chance you'll get one of them pregnant (18 years of child support payments) or you'll pick up a STD from one of them (ouch!).

On Friday, both Ryan and Ike, his mother, clarified the comments to USA TODAY Sports. They said they both knew she meant dates, not hookups.
After he explained the difference between "dates" and "hookups."
Sometimes it just happens..the urge. Even my GF admits to doing it at times. As for going in the pool I knew some girls who were on HS swim teams and everyone said it was a given..especially the girls because it was a pain to go to the bathroom and remove and put back on those one piece suits.

Yipes! I would not even want to witness that conversation, much less be a participant.
Boy, times sure have changed since I was a teen girl/young adult. There were always one or two girls that people whispered about as being “that type”, but the majority of girls cherished their chastity and would strongly discourage any young man who had other ideas.
Sadly, these days, such a girl is a rare bird, it seems. Sad for the girls, sad for the boys, sad for society.
There was more premarital sex going on than you remember....people just did not talk about it back then-especially women.
