00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Letter subject stop Sneaking. I know what you're doing. Good morning,

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: Steve and Carla. I listened to your show every day

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: on my way to work and was wondering if you

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: could give me some advice. I'm a thirty one year

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: old mother of two and I've been married for over

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: seven years. I've noticed that our relations, meaning my husband

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: and I have decreased to almost nothing. I have to

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: almost coax him into having relations. Both times while I

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: was pregnant. It was like pulling teeth. My aunt was

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: amazed as to how I even got pregnant, not once,

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: but twice. Anyway, I remember Steve saying a while ago

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: that even when men are sick, they still want to

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: have sex. Here's a problem. My husband, in my mind,

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: is addicted to porn. It's all on the computer. He

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: tries to have a password on this computer, but I

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: know it, so I check every now and then to

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: make sure it's only females he's looking at. Thank God,

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: because that was question number one. There are you? They

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: are usually wider Latino girls, occasionally black girls. Needless to say,

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: I am African American. Anyway, I noticed that in the

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: middle of the night he makes a trip to the

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: hall linen closet to obtain a wash cloth. I mean,

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: I am not stupid. I know what he's doing. I

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: once found over a hundred tapes and DVDs in the basement.

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: My question to you all is what can I do

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: to change his interests from the computer? To me, Steve,

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: don't tear me up to you bad. But I have

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: to mention I am a very attractive young lady and

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: have the opportunity at any time to have my needs

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: met outside the home. But he is the father of

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: my children and I love him and would not do

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: that even though we average three times a year. I

42
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: want to have relations with him and only him. Stop

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: using all my washcloth. Okay, contrary to what's contrary, you

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: know what, Contrary to what some people think pornography is harmful,

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: it is not harmless, Okay. It can be very destructive

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: in a marriage and a relationship because what happens is

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the more you see, the more you need to keep

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: you or or to get you stimulated regular or just

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: like normal stuff doesn't hold your interests anymore, and it

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: makes your wife feel betrayed. It can make her feel helpless.

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: You know, she may not, she may feel responsible and unattractive,

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: but she says she's an attractive mother of two whose

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: husband is addicted to porn has plenty pretty much lost

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: his interest in being intimate with her. That's why, to me,

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: porn is dangerous. You know, if I could say anything

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: to your husband, it would be that anything that takes

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: you away from or captures your mind in such a

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: way that you put it over your wife in marriage,

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: that's wrong. You know, your wife and her needs should

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: come first, and any kind of addiction can be detrimental

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: to your relationship, be a drugs, food, shopping, gambling, et cetera.

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. But you, as his wife are gonna

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: have to stop, you know, just step up, speak to him,

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Talk to him, tell him what you told us, that

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: you love him, you want only him, and that uh,

66
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know that both of you are going to have

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: to work out this problem. Tell him how you feel

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: about it, Tell him that you need intimacy in your marriage,

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and suggest that he get help for his porn addiction

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: because it is taking a toll on your marriage. Uh.

71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: And if all else sails, you know, go on his computer.

72
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: You've got the past where delete everything? Steve, Yep, that's

73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it and they're married seven. I'm so scared for this

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: boy to answer this. I am too. What was he yesterday?

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: The code cracker? Most take consideration before I answer this

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: and have while y'all on commercial break, I'm gonna be

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: in proud when I come back. I she'll respond. Come on,

78

Speaker 1: Steve with your response to part two of today's Strawberry letter.

79
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I want to just say, shut your damn but I

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: have come on. Good morning, Steve, Sherlett, Tommy and Carl.

00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: I listen to your every day. I'm my way to

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: work and was wondering if you could give me some advice.

83
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm a thirty one year mother too, and have been

84
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: married over seven years. I've noticed that our relations, meaning

85
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: my husband and I have deceased to almost nothing. I

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: have to almost coaxed him and having relations both times

87
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: while I was pregnant, it was like pulling teeth. Man

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: was amazed. As a high I even got pregnant, not once,

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: but twice. Anyway, I remember Steve saying a while ago

90
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: that even when me and are sick, they still want

91
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: to have six X. Here's the problem. My husband, in

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: my mind, is addicted to point it's all on the computer.

93
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: He tries to have a password on his computer, but

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: I know it, so I check every now and then

95
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: to make sure it's only females he's looking at. Thank god,

96
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: because that was question number one. They are usually white

97
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: or Latino girls, occasionally black girls. Needless to say, I'm

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: African American. Anyway, I noticed that in the middle of

99
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: the night he makes a trip to the hall living

100
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: closet to obtain a washcloth. I mean, I am not stupid.

101
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: I know what he is doing. I once found over

102
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: one hundred tapes and DVDs in the basement. My question

103
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: to you all is what can I do to change

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: his interest from the computer to me, Steve, don't tell

105
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: me I'm too bad, but I have to mention that

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm a very attractive young lady and had the opportunity

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: in any time to have my knees man outside the home.

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: But here's the father of my children. I love him

109
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and will not do that, even though we average three

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: times a year. I want to have relations with him

111
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and only him. Stop using my wash cloth. Well. After

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: praying about this so that I wouldn't turn this into

113
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: something vugal in case we didn't lose the show, because

114
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: that's what the letter is, I decided that today's sermon

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: should be on this subject. Stop using all of my

116
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: wash clothe take your time now, I ventured to say,

117
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: let's break the letter down line by line, bit by bit.

118
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Come on here now. Your aunt was amazed how you

119
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: even got pregnant, not once, but twice. If you're only

120
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: loving somebody three times a year and you wind up

121
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: pregnant two times, I want to commend your husband for

122
00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: being virile, full of villa in life. It's qualified to

123
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: be a fox. Go to verse three now I didn't.

124
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: As we move on, I remember Steve saying a while

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: ago that even when me and are sick, they still

126
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: want to have sex. Or you don't have to print

127
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: that back to me. That's a non fat to every

128
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: man living. Come on, we'll have sex whether we're sick.

129
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: We can get a goal bladder operation and want to

130
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: have sex that even we can get our tubes tied.

131
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: You get your tubes to have sex. Right after that,

132
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I had a case of here rods one time, screaming

133
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: and bland up swoon so big. When I sat on

134
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the toilet they hung in the cool lay. I would

135
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: flush to get relief, and right after that I still

136
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: wanted to have sex just with my gut. True. Come on,

137
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: you don't understand where we act with sex? Important? It

138
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: is it? But now your man is having sex on

139
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: the comprooter. That's your on the it's on the comprooter. Okay,

140
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Now I ventured to say that it is always white

141
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: girls and latinos. Well, let me say this to your

142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: black girl. Maybe when he went to Louis senor Reado,

143
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: he get it just high wanted high wanted hut away.

144
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Now you're thinking just because you find and attractive and

145
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: you could get yours outside the house. Yeah, Well, let

146
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: me tell you something. My Deacon Boomerang's grandmother wants saying,

147
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: what is it that no matter how fine a woman

148
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: he is, there's a man somewhere sick and tired of

149
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: know you asked me not to cut you up too bad,

150
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: But let's just talk about really how stupid you are

151
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: you letting your man get up every night in the

152
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: middle of the night, stand with around to the linen

153
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: closet and get a watch cloth to go do what

154
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you know what he's doing. But guess what what if

155
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,160
