It was an interesting show, featuring two couples in a basically "sexless" marriage, and a Therapist in Colorado who believes that their problem is not that one of them is "frigid" or even disinterested, but that they both have baggage, and they can't communicate, and their problems aren't even about sex. (Isn't that what we say here all the time?)

Even more interesting is that both couples started talking openly about their "frustrations".....one couple started "getting it", and were taking it very slowly.....even after their four 3-hour sessions with him, were not having sex, but they were getting closer. The wife had felt for years that she was just a piece of meat to him, and that she needed some "romance" outside the bedroom. He was shocked to hear that, then said, well, there's no time for "romance", we're both so busy all the time. He's learning to MAKE time, and things are going well a few months later. Now she's become more agressive, and he's less agressive.

The other couple opened up immediately, there were a lot of tears on both sides, they went back to their hotel and had great sex for the few days they were there, and a few months later, they're getting a divorce! She says he's too "weak", and he says she intimidates him. She feels more like his mother than his lover.

Another interesting thing.....among the ridiculous amounts of commercials, one was for iVillage.com and their sex boards. I wonder how many new posters will show up from that ad?

I don't understand why you are settling for everything done his way and when he wants it.

No. I didn't see it and I usually watch Dateline. And I have never seen advertisements for IVillage, much less the sex boards. Wonder when they started that?

Men ALWAYS equate everything to penis size though, so he probably DOES feel that he is too small to please her.

More than likely though, she feels that there is a lack of PASSION for her on his part....which actually has nothing to do with his penis.
