1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Let's get it. Let's get it. Buggle up, hold on tight,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: we got it for you. Here it is the Strawberry letter. Alright,

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: subject he has never satisfied. I really don't know what

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: to do. I need a man's perspective on this issue.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: At thirty four and I've been happily married for almost

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: five years, we have no children. My husband and I

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: are very much in love. Most of our friends idolize

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: our relationship. People say we look like we're in love.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: The problem is that he is not satisfied with me sexually. OK,

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: here's a line that gets me though. We do it

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: four to six times a week full time. He works

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: full time and goes to the gym. I work full

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: time and go to school full time. Sometimes I am

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: so tired it is all I can do not to

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: fall asleep during the day. I know my husband has

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: an enormous sex drive. Mine is not as big. However,

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I do please him four to six times a week.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Anything goes and there are no inhibitions. Every once in

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: a while, I just did not have the energy to

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: do anything. He feels I'm neglecting him, and I feel

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: he's being incentitive to the daily demands. I face every day.

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I work with juvenile delinquents and that is stressful. I

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: deal with prejudice classmates who believe a black woman doesn't

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: deserve to acquire anything in this world. And I come

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: home to a man who gets upset if I don't

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: give in. Let's say give in, because it seems as

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: if I'm performing a job and it is not from

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: mutual enjoyment. There is no spontaneity on his part and

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: it's the same routine all the time. Now, come home, bathe, inimacy, homework,

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: and sleep. I am not always ready for intimacy, but

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: that soon changes. What should I do to make him

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: understand that it is okay if I say no, and

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I'm not attracted to him, but really tired.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: He does things to ease the load, like housework and cooking,

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's done only to make time

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: for me to be intimate with me and not for

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: me to relax. I really don't know what to do,

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and we have been having this problem for the last

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: three years of our marriage, since I've gone back to school.

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: In parentheses, it's not an issue. It was not an

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: issue before that. This is my last year of school.

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm in the honor Society. It has taken me a

43
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: long time to achieve this goal. I need all the

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: support I can get from him, and I feel more

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: stressed than anything. It is important to remember he is

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: a good man and better than most. The only issue

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: is sometimes sex. Should I go on strike or what?

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for anything? You and Shirley can tell me?

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Really perplexed? Ye? Okay, really perplexed. Yeah, okay, really perplexed.

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Let's start. Let's start by saying, alright, listen, I have

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: a good memory, Thank you very much. Don't let be quiet.

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: See all right, Let's start by saying, you have what

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot of women want. A man with a

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: healthy sex drive who helps with the housework and cooks. Okay,

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: four to six times a week. It is going on

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: in your house. Let me just say that. And you know,

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: we don't get a letters a lot of letters like this.

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: We really really don't. And I don't want to just

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: dismiss your problem and say, girl, be thankful for your

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: good man and stop complaining because your issue is real

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: to you. And what I hear you saying is you're

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: tired in stress because you have a heavy load you

63
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: talked about it. You got work, you got school, and

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: all this sex. I commend you for your and all

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: the sex. I command you for your hard work. I

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: do commend you for that and encourage you to hang

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: in there and finish. Okay, come on, come on, listen, listen.

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: But because you say shut up, Steve, because you say

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: he didn't act like this before you went to school,

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: before you went back to school, I'm thinking he's feeling

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: probably insecure, maybe a little intimidated by all of this,

72
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: the constant sex, regardless of how you're feeling, maybe helping

73
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: him to, you know, keep a grip on who's the man. Okay,

74
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: he might be feeling like you're he's losing you or something. Um,

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: and you probably are neglecting him. I gotta be honest

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, how can you not. You're on

77
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the honor society, You've got homework, you got all this

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: stuff going on. So um, you know, it may not

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: it may not be intentional. Though, it may not be intentional.

80
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: It may not be intentional. It may not be intentional.

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: But no, I but it may not be intentional. You know,

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: sometimes you do things and you don't even realize it.

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: But tired or not tired, or I do think that

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: you should not go on strike. I don't think you

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: should go on strike. I really don't actual neglected him

86
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: and doing six. She might be she she's got a

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: lot going on, She's got a lot. Six day, seven days,

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: seven days, seven days. He might be feeling like that.

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: She might not be, you know, she might not. I

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: don't think she's doing it intentional, of course, not anyway.

91
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: She just needs to do a friendly machine down tell

92
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: him you love him a little bit more. Yes, you

93
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: ain't saying no. I didn't have a reply, and now

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't down talk to him, stroking sego a little

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: bit more. What he's feeling intimidated because she's getting all

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: this education. He thinks he's losing her. That's what it is. Okay,

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: come on, Steve, let's get part two of your response

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: to today's Strawberry letter. Here we go, subject, he is

99
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: never satisfied. I really don't know what to do. I

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: need a man's perspective on this issue. You don't. I'm

101
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: thirty or four years old, I'm happily married for almost

102
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: five years. We have no children. My husband now very

103
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: much in love. He is not satisfied with me sexually.

104
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: We do it four to six times a week. He

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: worked full time and go to the gym. I work

106
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: full time and go to school for time. Sometimes I'm

107
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: so tired it's all I can do not to fall

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: asleep during the day. I know my husband has an

109
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: enormous sex life and mine is not as big. However

110
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: I do please him pholt to six times. We are

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: change that life any time anything goes and there's no inhibitions.

112
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I just do not have

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: the energy to do anything. He feels like I'm neglecting here,

114
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's being insensitive to the daily

115
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: demands I face every day. I work with Ju and

116
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: A the Lincolns, and this is stressful. I deal with

117
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: prejudent classmate who believe a black woman don't deserve to

118
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: quite nothing in this. Well, now I come home to

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: a man who gets upset if I don't give, he

120
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: give in. I just give in cause it seems if

121
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: I am performing a job and it's not for mutual enjoyment,

122
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: there's no spontaneity on his part, and it is the

123
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: same routine all the time. Come home, babe. Innimacy homework,

124
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: a sleep. I'm not always ready for intimacy, but that's soon, Angels.

125
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: What should I do to make him understand that it's

126
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: okay if I say no, and it don't mean I'm

127
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: not attracting to him. But I'm really tired. He tells

128
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: things easy to work long at the house, like cooking, cleaning,

129
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: but I've seen he's done only this to make time

130
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: for me and be intimate with him, and not for

131
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: me to relax. I really don't know what to do.

132
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Good boys than this house you got now? Look if

133
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it's important to remember he is a good man and

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: better than most. The only issue sometimes say should I

135
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna strike? Or what? Thank you for anything? You and

136
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Shirley can really tell me? First of all, you in

137
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: love and in a relationship with a sex crazy man

138
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: six times a week. You are putting to the test

139
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: by a man who works and go to the gym. Now, Shirley,

140
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I got a point out to you. She didn't say

141
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: that he wasn't like this before they got married. He

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: would just saying She just saying it wasn't a problem

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: for they got mad. But see, when you ain't mad,

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: you don't stay at the house It's different when you

145
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: having sex six times at the house and he stayed there.

146
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: It's that see you dropping by going home when you

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: live apart. But when you're in the same house and

148
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: you come through the dough you dog tied, you kick

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: your shoes off, and standing at the foot of the

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: stepped in riding just standing there, got his hand pockets,

151
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: he just looking at you. He got a vacuum cleaning

152
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: one hand and two dishes in the other. He haven't

153
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,400
