Battle of the Sexes Over Sex
by Lenore Skenazy
"This is why we need more women in politics," my friend Virginia Randall said yesterday. "Did Ella Grasso ever have to stand up on the podium and admit she paid for a 'rent boy'? Or Nancy Pelosi? Or Bella Abzug?"
Uh, no. It's kind of disturbing just to think about. But, as women and men discuss "L'Affair Spitzer," the differences between the sexes become more pronounced.
It's not just that female politicians have so few sex scandals to their name. ( ...

Lenore, I beg to differ. I'm 70 years old and my tires have had a lot of wear on them. I've met many married women who think with their "G Spot." As a career salesman and good listener, I spent many a business lunch with both men and women who were married. I was always amazed, after the traditional opening cocktail, at the number of women, both married and single, that opened up and told me about the illicit affairs they had or were having. It was like they were opening up their trophy case. I can't recall any of the men discussing that part of their lives at lunch . . . . even though they may have been indulging.
According to the picture that accompanies your column. If it's a recent picture, I assume you're fairly young. You certainly are pretty. My suggestion is to leave the political beat and head out to explore the real world. I believe you'll find lots of things that amaze you . . . . including a lot of women who think with their "G Spot."

Oh, how I love this line: "No, for women, sex and love are still pretty much linked. That's why it's harder for us to forgive the governor, no matter how supposedly unemotional his encounters were." Do you people ever really look at what you write? What do you think the creature was that Mr. Spitzer made his little deal with? A Martian?
It takes two to tango, my dear, and Ms. "Check out my website" Dupre is definitely a two X-er, of this Earth, and facing stiff competition.

another guy's point of view is to see the shattered look of his wife while standing beside him.
can he ever make it right? no!
an old mentor, with then, 20+years married, said " the best piece of ..., you will ever get,
will be the one you get at home."
i've never seen a reason to look elsewhere, to date, nor do i expect to.
it's one thing to target a political whistleblower, another to not consider the innocent family.
