That's the key, honest, talk about men and women. 8 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: As I say almost every week, I'm not a man fan, 9 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: and I am not a woman fan. I am a 10 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: good person fan, and I am a fan of men 11 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: and women bonding, marrying and hopefully getting along better. One 12 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 3: of the ways to get along better is to understand 13 00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 3: each other better. Now, I'm going to talk about a 14 00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: subject that I haven't talked about in a while. But 15 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: I get a tremendous amount of feedback from people because 16 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: I have been so open about the subject sex. 17 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: I think this might not be one of those. 18 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this might not be one for kids. That's correct. 19 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: Thank you for noting that ninety nine percent of my 20 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 3: shows I would love kids to listen to, this might 21 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: not be one of them. I mean, we're not graphic 22 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: in any way whatsoever. But nevertheless that's the subject. So 23 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: it arose because we're approaching Valentine's Day, which I think 24 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: is a good thing. I think all the holidays are 25 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: a good thing. I'm not a Halloween fan, but I 26 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: don't care. People enjoy it. Let them enjoy themselves. But 27 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: I think they're good things. I think that the romance 28 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: is a good thing. I think expressions of romantic love 29 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 3: or good things. What could be bad about it? Right? 30 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: And I mean it. So there are two studies I 31 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: mean probably four hundred, but there were two that I 32 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: The one that I saw which is what engendered this topic. 33 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: This was in the Daily Mail big headline Relationship expert 34 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: busts the biggest myths about romance, and so they in 35 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: the Daily Mail, which is in It's a very interesting website, 36 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: and they have bullet points and one of the bullet 37 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 3: points is men prefer sex to gifts while women care 38 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: more about thought than extravagance. Perth, I guess Australia. Perth 39 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 3: dating coach Luanne Ward clarified common misconceptions and this was 40 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: one of them. Ninety percent, a resounding ninety percent of 41 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: men surveyed by illicit Encounters said sex was their number 42 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: one wish for Valentine's Day and that they think that's 43 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: a very good point from the triple g and any 44 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: other day and an a leap year that adds a day, 45 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: just for the record. Now, let me make something clear. 46 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: I know this. I'm going to get emails where it's 47 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: where the relationship is inverted, where the woman wants it 48 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: more than the man does. And I know that happens, 49 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: and life is filled with frustration, but I'm talking about 50 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 3: the normal problem and if it's a problem at all, 51 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 3: but it's it's it's a significant thing, and it's I've 52 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: always I must admit this has been a somewhat of 53 00:04:32,159 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: a puzzle to me. If you love your husband, and 54 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: that's a big if you and I'll give you more ifs. 55 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: If you love your husband and he's a good man. 56 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: Those are the two ifs. Okay, the two big ifs. 57 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you have a sex with him? Perhaps more often? 58 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 3: And I'm not pushing for daily, but when I get emails. 59 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: I got an email this week from a man who 60 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: loves his wife. I mean, he wrote, he was emphatic. 61 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 3: I love her. She's a great mother, she's a great wife. 62 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: Even but we haven't had sex in five years. So 63 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: he asked me for advice. By the way, advice is 64 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: spelled with a C, not an S. S is advice. 65 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 3: C is advice is another word that's that's one. That's 66 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: another word that's commonly misspelled as is lose. It's amazing 67 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: how many people spell lose l O O S E. 68 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: I am, I am. It can only be a function 69 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: of people not reading. But anyway, I get those, I 70 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 3: get those. By the way, he says advice, and my 71 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: heart goes out to this guy, But what one of 72 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: my what is what I said? You know the answer 73 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 3: that here, here are your choices. Make peace with it, uh, 74 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 3: improve the situation, or divorce. I mean, he knows there's 75 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: no such thing as that. Why was I going to 76 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: give advice? I'd like to give her advice. I wish 77 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: I could speak to her, you know, I rather speak 78 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: to the wife of that man who wrote me that. 79 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: Then I would any person in the world, any any president, 80 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: any prime minister. Do you know that? And I And 81 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: you know I'm telling the truth because I have very 82 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 3: little interest in famous people. Even as a kid, they 83 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: didn't they didn't interest me. I always prefer to be 84 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: with friends for dinner. I still do, but I I 85 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: mean it. Maybe this man is listening, sir, I would 86 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: rather talk to your wife in private so that she 87 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: doesn't have you around for where tension might arise than 88 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: anyone that I could think of in the world. How's that? 89 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: Because I would love to know what given the importance 90 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: to your husband, whom you whom you, do you love him? 91 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: I assume she'd say yes.

Somebody wrote 169 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: to me asking for it, and I couldn't find it. 170 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 3: I only remember that. I think it was a frenchwoman 171 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: and I can't find it on the internet. But the 172 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: quote was something to the effect she said, you know, 173 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 3: to think of the amount of joy I can bring 174 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: him for twenty minutes. You pick your number. I'm sure 175 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 3: it's between five in an hour and the joy that 176 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: I could bring him for twenty minutes. Why wouldn't I 177 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: Why doesn't that strike you as a compelling argument? Well, 178 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: I wrote this up on the internet when my wife 179 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: is not in the mood and I was at Tuffington Post. 180 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: I think it was might have been move on dot Org. 181 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 3: It's one of those two somebody wrote, and it's up there. 182 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: You could actually google it. Dennis Prager advocates marital rape. 183 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: This is the impossibility of dialogue with the left, because 184 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: they don't dialogue, they smear it's on the end it's 185 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: almost always true. That's what's so amazing. It's not an aberration. 186 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: But I'm telling you this so you will know how 187 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: difficult it is to address such issues. Honestly, the idea 188 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: of that you should do something you don't want to 189 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: do is alien to so many in America, and that's 190 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: a very big problem, because that's called narcissism. What I 191 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: think almost every man I think, and I say almost 192 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: I'm talking good men. The whole thing surrounds good women 193 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: and good men. I'm not talking about bad women or 194 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 3: bad men. I think if you said to most men, hey, 195 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: you know what, periodically, if you did X for twenty minutes, 196 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: you would make your wife so happy it would just 197 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 3: lighten life. And I think most guys would give a 198 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: lot of money to find out, really, what twenty minutes 199 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: could I engage in that would bring my wife such 200 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: a sense of being loved and happiness. Right, I don't 201 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 3: think those twenty minutes exist, So I don't know. It's 202 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: so simple to me that I don't quite That's why 203 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 3: I say I don't quite understand, and that's based, you know, 204 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: I don't know fifteen years of the male female hour, 205 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: an entire life of talking on the issue. A series 206 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: of audio tapes which is at the which is at pregatopia, 207 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: now available. Every single at one of the speeches we've 208 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: ever put up is now available at pregatopia dot com. 209 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: It's really worth your time. And of course on male sexuality, 210 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 3: gave it a synagogue. But I was very, very open. 211 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 3: I'm always open. If you're not open, you can't do 212 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: any good. All right, y'all, and let's get some of 213 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: your responses.

Hello, my friends, I'm Dennis Preggan's 225 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: the Male Female Hour every Wednesday. The second hour I 226 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 3: was reading to you surveys in the US and Australia 227 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: the number one gift that a guy would like for 228 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: for Valentine's Day is sex, and it was not on 229 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 3: the list of the women's greatest desires. And this is 230 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: not a knock, it's nothing. People have to be mature 231 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 3: and face reality. But I'm posing a question that is, 232 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: if you love him and he's a good man. These 233 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: are two huge ifs. But if they exist, what's what's 234 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: the issue. And I'm not talking about even anything approaching daily? 235 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: What's the issue with you know, I get I get 236 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: so many letters. It's been five years, or it's been 237 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: you know longer, or a year or two years. You know, 238 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 3: it's not been talking about illness. So I don't I 239 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 3: don't quite at it. So so Linda in Portland might 240 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: be so did you call to tell me what twenty 241 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: minutes a woman wants or answers the question about men 242 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 3: not getting it? 243 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: Both start with the man. 244 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 3: Okay, are you married? 245 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 4: I'm married for I got married in two thousand and one, 246 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: so what is that nineteen years?

She needs to listen to her for as 253 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 4: long as it takes whatever she's talking about. And she 254 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 4: needs to enter into her heart, answer into her heart. 255 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 6: I got that from John Elridge. 256 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 4: He needs to enter into her heart and not be 257 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 4: afraid to enter into her heart like enter into the 258 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 4: woman's heart as a warrior.

I know that the 337 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 3: situation is reversed for some couples. I can only talk 338 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: about the general issue. I can't talk about every exception, 339 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 3: otherwise there's nothing to be learned about life, and in general, 340 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 3: this is the issue. So we're talking about that and 341 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: the email that I received the man who loves his 342 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 3: wife and they haven't had sex, and she apparently loves him. 343 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: But I don't know what that means, I don't know 344 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 3: what it means to love somebody not give them, which 345 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: is pretty effortless to be. To be perfectly honest, this, 346 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: you know, the twenty minutes or whatever it is that 347 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 3: that he that would make him so happy. All right, 348 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 3: let's go to Jennifer in Minneapolis. 349 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 5: Hi, Jennifer, Hi, Dennis, how are you well? 350 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: Thank you for calling good? Good. 351 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 5: Just first of all, I love listening to you, and 352 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 5: I agree with you on probably ninety five percent of 353 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 5: the things that you talk about. In this particular instance, 354 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 5: the twenty minutes you're talking about isn't necessarily effortless for 355 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 5: a lot of women, and I think it's way more 356 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 5: common than we than most people believe, but especially for 357 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 5: women that are approaching menopause and going through and have gone. 358 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 5: I'm true, oftentimes it is a painful not just a 359 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 5: little painful, but very right. And the medical go ahead. 360 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I'm I'm just acknowledging that I 361 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 3: hear you. 362 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, And there are a lot of solutions medically, 363 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 5: but they don't always work for every woman. And some 364 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 5: things that exacerbate that too are the fact that depression 365 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 5: can lower libido and the instance of depression in our 366 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 5: society is much more common than even I think we realize. 367 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 5: In a lot of people don't even know that they 368 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 5: have it, but it lowers libido and then ANTIDEPRESSANTSI. 369 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 3: Well, anti depressions through lower libido. That's a well known 370 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 3: that's in both sexes. Yes, right, So here's a question, 371 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 3: and this is why I have to warn again, I 372 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: don't want children listening necessarily, so being as genteel in 373 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 3: language as possible given the you know, public radio. Uh, 374 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 3: there are other ways to pleasure him. And that's one 375 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: that's question one and two. Let's say one one does 376 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: have a lower a lower libido at that time of life, 377 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: just mechanically, can can she not help him out? 378 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 5: I think there are things that definitely can help with 379 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 5: that situation. From the side of the mail. One thing 380 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 5: is when I think when a husband or partner hasn't 381 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 5: isn't getting what he needs a lot of times I 382 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 5: think that the physical contact that he gives her is 383 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 5: kind of in response to, Okay, I'm going to smuggle 384 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 5: with you because this is what I want or this 385 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 5: is what I need. And I think when someone is 386 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 5: experiencing lower libido and or painful in of course, that 387 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 5: it's really important that the partner, that the husband, the 388 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 5: man gives the woman affection. 389 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with that. I couldn't agree with that more. 390 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's huge. 391 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 3: Yes, okay, if it is huge, there's still the hope 392 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 3: on his part that one out of five hugs will 393 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 3: not not in one day, one out of five hugs 394 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,239 Speaker 3: a week a month will lead will lead to uh, 395 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: to the lottery win. Is that is that? Can he 396 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: can he bank on that? 397 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 5: I think I don't know if he can bank on it, 398 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 5: but I think that one thing that makes a difference. 399 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 6: It's not a mechanical hug. 400 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 5: It's a and what the previous caller was talking about. 401 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 5: I can't remember the words that she used, but uh, 402 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 5: you know, really seeing her, you know, in her soul, 403 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 5: but also being there emotionally, not just a hud like okay, 404 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 5: well we're out of five of these is going to 405 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 5: get me ry? 406 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: Right? No? No, all right? So okay, men need to 407 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 3: hear this. They do, and I agree. I told you 408 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 3: I'm not on the man's side. I'm not on the 409 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: women's side. I'm on the marriage side. That's a very 410 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: important call. They're all important. But I think what I'm 411 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 3: saying is also important. Life is a challenge, my dear 412 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:57,959 Speaker 3: dear listeners, and we have to accept that what I 413 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 3: see happening in America is generations now since the sixties 414 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 3: have an unrealistic expectation of what life can deliver. They 415 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:19,959 Speaker 3: have utopian expectations, and so any frustration, anything that is 416 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 3: not ideal, causes almost a trauma. That's why there were 417 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 3: safe spaces at colleges. Right, somebody comes and says something 418 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 3: you don't want to hear. You need to escape into 419 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: a safe room. A safe room. Okay, let's see here. 420 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 3: Men should communicate. Ty in Roseville, Illinois doesn't understand why 421 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 3: that man would tolerate no sex for five years? Hmmis 422 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 3: I could have that man on the show. That would 423 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 3: be an interesting If you're listening, sir, you're totally anonymous. 424 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: Only I know who you are. Of course my dream 425 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: I told you if I could have dinner, I know 426 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 3: this is bizarre. If I could have dinner with the 427 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: Queen of England or the woman who's had no sex 428 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 3: with her husband for five years, I would take the latter, 429 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 3: And I like the Queen of England. By the way, 430 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: back in a moment. 431 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 432 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 433 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 2: Let's you air of fly? 434 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: All right, everybody, Dennis Prager here for me.
