Dr. Phil also didn't

Quote From: darcylove

the last portion of phil today was talking to a couple in which the women wasn't interested in sex. Phil didn't advice this young man to go look at porn. He didn't advice him to seek other women. He instead told them that they needed to work together in solving the issue. He didn't advice this man to live in a sexless marriage.....as a matter of fact he told them he didn't think that would be a good thing. But he also didn't tell this guy that he needed to find the next best thing to satisfy himself with.

The women in this he believed had some internal dialogue that needed to be changed. The women had a dialogue that told her that sex was bad and dirty. She wanted to change that dialogue. Now if a women doesn't want to change that dialogue....I would really question why the marriage continues. But I don't think porn is the answer that so many guys think that it is. It sure wasn't phil's advice!

explain to her how much she was hurting him and how what she was doing was damaging the relationship...the way he ALWAYS does with the men. He concentrated on how to make her feel better about herself and understand that it likely wasn't her fault so she could make the change. Had the man been the woman he would have said get out of the relationship...in no uncertain terms. He just rarely puts the same level of need to change on the women as he does the men.

Let's get very real. Dr. Phil does not hold women to as nearly high a standard of personal responsibility in how they affect the relationship as he does men. I respect Dr. Phil and his overall message. The fact just is that he needs to be a bit kinder (most of the time) to the women because that's his largest viewer base.

Nobody said that viewing porn is the answer.  However, if the wife won't give him sex and won't work with him to solve the problem and he likes sex I think it's a hell of a lot better then cheating.  He may not necessarily cheat without the porn, but at least he'll be happier.
