Dr. Laura: Women Share Blame for Cheating Men
MSNBC ^ | March 11, 2008 | Mike Celizic

Posted on 03/11/2008 5:30:41 PM PDT by Cecily

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.

I’ve read her books,
I also know what I experienced as a woman and what other women have experienced.

She’s wrong....again, she wrote it for men to feel good and point the finger at their wives, not for women to have a satisfying sex life.

Great reply!

“And the whole sex thing, men are really easy to please in that regard imo. And they want to please also.”

We aim to please....and if given a chance we’ll please where we aim!

Seriously... one of the few universal sex turn ons for guys is doing well what make our partner happiest.

You just gotta tell us and then make it worth our while!

Cheers!

In my experience the two biggest issues are-—
a. Men use sex to relax and women need to relax to have sex.
Find a middle ground.
b. Time and patience...5 minutes ain’t gonna cut it.
c. Basic female anatomy....Learn, love it, pay attention to it.

“Hey!
All the romance hunks have long hair!

Women LOVE long haired guys....think Adrian Paul, Brendan Fraser, Attila the Hun (the Gerard Butler version)....”

But Sean Connery would kick all thier butts!

Do men call in to her or mostly women?
I lost some hearing in my mid-30’s and can't listen to radio shows. Don't even know if she currently has a radio show or TV show. Know she lost one at one point.

Sure... whatever.

“b. Time and patience...5 minutes ain’t gonna cut it.”

But you have to make it worth spending more than 5 minutes on. women really overrate themselves here.

c. Basic female anatomy....Learn, love it, pay attention to it.”

Yup and it’s time for women to stop taking their anatomy so seriously and get down to having fun!

You do not have the magic “V.” it may be special to you, but it’s your job to make it special to us!

I think most of her callers are female, but granted, its been a while since I listened to her....she really does play up to the men when they call in though (but that’s my opinion).

I’m tired of sex being made out to be a man’s need and a woman’s job!

It is, if you want a good marriage..and that's all Dr. Laura is saying...And from my life's experience, with my own life and the lives of my female friends and family members, I KNOW it is true. However, your use of the word "job" is very telling about you. Sorry.

Erm,
OK,
let me explain myself——
it takes is more than 5 minutes to become aroused enough to have an orgasm. I don’t get what you mean by ‘overrated’——

I don’t agree with everything you posted but I do agree that women have no clue how much power they have and have always had.

I don’t know if men need sex (I think we all do better when we have that pleasure and intimacy) any more or less than women but I do know that my husband is always ready for it and that’s a good thing. He’d never withold it because I wasn’t a perfect wife or was mad at me so why should I use sex as a weapon? It’s a wonderful espression of love, intimacy.

I have two master degrees and never wanted to work outside the home while raising my kids. I love being a stay at home mom, doing volunteer work for their schools, etc. My income was supposed to be secondary if needed. Now it’s to the point of helping pay the bills. And my husband makes great money as an EE. But we’re inching towards another needed income to help offset taxes, property taxes, future college costs for 4 kids. We don’t live the high life.

The feminist movement may have done some good things but I think it sucks on the whole.

I was fortunate to be able to stay home for 13+years and working part time for the last few.

I don’t get some of these women who complain constantly about husbands that do nothing other than work at their jobs because my husband isn’t and never was like that. And I doubt he’s in the minority.

Men are sensitive to womens needs when those needs are normal. No one wants to be nagged or bitched at constantly regardless of their sex.

I don't think “sheltered” is the word, lol

I really need to be reading this thread, have just been jumping back here to reply and missing all the conversation!

Look,
it was a job in my very bad marriage,
it was a pure joy in the relationship I had for 2 years after the marriage.

So yeah,
I know when it can be a job and an grueling expectation (even though I was the one carrying the financial load) and I know what it’s like to be truly loved, cherished and have my needs met.

Nothing telling but the truth....so yeah,
Women have as much right to pleasure as men.

I don't think she would get $4300 for something at her age that most likely resembles the sleeve of a wizard's robe.

PS
your post is the one who set it up as a duty for women to take care of a man’s pleasure, not the other way around.
