Sexual healing

I used to relish the challenge of being good in bed. I read the Kama Sutra with steely discipline, confident there wasn't a skill I couldn't master. Then I had a baby.

    Taking A Cue From The President?

    One reader wrote:

    "If you're really interested in helping out your buddies, if their problems are really serious, you might look on their behalf into the many practical solutions that have been suggested. That's more productive than aiming missives at women in general."

    One can't help but see similarities between the position some (just some, not all) of the female posters have taken in defending womankind in general in this letter page from mean old male posters like myself and that of the Bush Admin.

    How so?

    Whenever Bush was asked a tough question about pre-war intelligence or post war planning -- he simply accused the reporter of hating-American, blaming America first and support terrorists! Well, that certainly worked to poision the well and scare reporters in never asking legitimate questions again.

    When men here raise legitimate concerns about some serious issues that can arise in a marriage post-child, issues that can be radical andendure for years and years -- some posters have taken a page directly out of the White House playbook.

    Male poster: It could be considered a serious issue in a marriage if a spouse experience a radical change in sexual behaviour after having a child that last for years and years.

    Female reply: Exactly how long have you hated women and exactly why do you hate women so much?

    Somewhere Karl Rove is smiling.
