Dr. Laura Schlessinger has never been one to shrink from controversy, and she leaped headlong into one on Monday when she said that if a husband cheats, his wife may share some of the blame.
“When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings, sexually, personally, to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like her hero, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman making him feel what he needs,” the popular psychologist and radio personality said.
More commonly known as just “Dr. Laura,” Schlessinger made the remarks while participating in one of several panel discussions on TODAY dealing with the breaking news that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer had been connected to a high-priced prostitution ring.

“Marriages are hard work, but they’re about equality and selflessness. Giving to each other, not looking out for the individual.’
Good call!
“Any wife that is starving her husband for sex & physical affection better be planning for a divorce. It will be coming.”
Very good call.
It’s like the analogy.... If you are home and there is no food in the fridge are you going to go hungry or go out and eat?
You might stay hungry for one meal, but not many.
“She had an affair with her professor years ago, which must have been his wife’s fault!”
She cheated with her current husband, and got him away from his wife and three children. I think you may have hit upon Dr. Laura’s bizarre attitude to male adultery. If she and Lew were cheating, it must have been Lew’s wife’s fault, or partly her fault. As the Church Lady would say, how conveeeeeenient for Lew and Laura. It lets them right off the hook (in Laura’s twisted mind, anyway).
Dr. Laura stuck her foot in her mouth again. Your quote is just her removing it.
“Has it every dawned on some men as to why their wives don’t want to have sex with them....”
There is a flip side to that coin....
Why would a man want to keep supporting an ungrateful person who doesn’t want to have sex with them?
After all, the woman had no problem having sex when they wanted to get someplace.
Now that they got there they are going to stop?
That’s whorish BS.
Say some more stuff like that ...my wife has been known to read FR...
Oh my! I think you hit the nail on the head!
LOL! Nah, been with her for 16 years and we’re friends but she would just LOVE to style my hair, cut off most of it to make it more stylish (as she says). I think all hairdressers, stylists, just want to cut off long hair for some reason. And she always says she knows one day I’ll tell her to cut it all off, lol. I’ll be 80 with long hair ;)
And it’s BS if men who have no clue why their wife doesn’t like having sex with them stops...
Maybe she got tired of asking for the 400th time ‘it’s to the right-— the other right’. It goes both ways....
It’s annoying when men complain about their wives not wanting sex with them, but many woman I know love sex, they just wish it were better with their husbands.
She can shoot me anytime! ;o)
D’Laura has issues...nude picture issues.
I honestly don’t know as I’m not a radio listener. My one daughter used to listen to her, and I would see her on TV and generally thought she did have a pretty moral approach to life considering what we see nowadays.
To me, her article above would be based more on the very young people nowadays. They have been raised to be more self absorbed.
If there’s nothing to eat at home, people tend to go out and find something.
“Maybe she got tired of asking for the 400th time ‘it’s to the right-— the other right’. It goes both ways....”
Lots of options here.... maybe she’s not telling him. Lotsa gals like to tell the hairdresser but not the husband, or maybe she doesn’t know what she wants or how here workings function.
“It’s annoying when men complain about their wives not wanting sex with them, but many woman I know love sex, they just wish it were better with their husbands.”
Sound like the woman’s problem. Men are happy to comply but again many women would rather complain to their freinds vs telling the husband.
Or maybe they dont know how their own gear works.
A straight male hairstylist? Now that’s front-page news!
I agree.
All this “individual needs” crap. Oprah and feminists/leftists have no clue about being in a relationship or especially a marriage. It’s not about just the individual but the couple.
OK,
other side-—
What I hear is they do tell their hubby’s,
but ya know how they are about not stopping the car and asking for directions when lost?
Seems the same happens in the bedroom....
She may tell him what works, but he’s gonna be damned if he’s not going to make HIS way work better.
So she quits talking. (and yes, I’ve heard it here on this site as well as many others).
