what is it you are saying is the major issue? lack of sex in marriages?

Is that what you all are suggesting would be the topic in RS?

Sorry, I should have left out my cynical comment above. I did give some hope that if they emphasized that professional help is often needed, this could be a useful discussion. They're doing this with the porn problem, so I should be more hopeful.

No I applaud any effort, any effort but much more needs to be done. And speakers on this sensitive subject need more education and counseling so as to not give bad advice or to deliver it badly.

That's a good point. Hopefully, they're at least planting seeds for the next generation.

I guess I forgot to mention...in the midst of the conversation, I did her in a patient room.

Details, details....

In our culture, sexuality is repressed, not celebrated, which leads to sexual dissatisfaction by both partners, causing many dysfunctions. And while men have their dysfunctions manifest in ways which are easily identified, women, a portion of them, will have their dysfunctionality manifest in ways which are more subtle and less addressed.

Men are told to curb their appetites. And I know it's a gross overgeneralization, but I did ask a counselor once, what percentage of your practice involves male and female frigidity in marriage. Answer a lot. What percentage of it is male and what percentage is female? Answer, only one man in 25 years, the rest, 1000s, female. These were almost exclusively LDS.

So obviously our marriage relationships are not fulfilling a significant purpose, attributable in no small part to the difficult to experience meaningful intimacy in our culture.

I don't know any adulterous doctors. Maybe you know a different DDD.

Yes you do. We all are. Haven't you ever seen ER, Gray's Anatomy, Scrubs?




Because sarcasm doesn't always come through on here, and my wife occasionally reads the board, for the record, I did NOT do her. Nor did I have any desire to (do her). Nor her for me (to do her). No doing or being done occurred. Or ever would occur.

So you're not Dr. McDreamie stimulating the unstimulated? How unfortunate for your patients.

being honest here, but I have never seen an entire episode of any of those shows. I say "entire" because several years back, I did see part of an ER episode at someone's house.

I will throw in the west wing also....never saw once episode.
