It's one of those things that kept people sane in the good old days.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of an old friend.

Or do you believe it is an unconscious reversal in protest against Victorian Romanticism?"<br />Does the above quote make sense to you? It makes more sense to me than anything Siegel has written. BTW, the above quote came from MAD Magazine circa the 1960's. I committed it to memory way back when. Thought it might come in handy sometime to get in an English major's panties, or now that I think of it maye NOT.

It is somewhat telling that there are women who actually fall for this BS. <br />Just who is that becomes the real winner in this situation and just who is the one who gets devalued to the point of being little more than a human blowup doll?<br />Call me a romantic, but I love the connection, bond, between a man and a woman that makes sex more than just sex.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-37665646088774796152011-12-22T07:10:56.656-08:002011-12-22T07:10:56.656-08:00Siegel's quotes caused my BS meter to go berse...Siegel's quotes caused my BS meter to go berserk.Phil L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12554758403666282902011-12-22T06:44:29.457-08:002011-12-22T06:44:29.457-08:00Siegel's mind works like a psychotic's.Siegel's mind works like a psychotic's.Bizzy Brainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-2363809073693374192011-12-22T06:11:01.156-08:002011-12-22T06:11:01.156-08:00Thanks, Dennis.

I didn't mention it in my post but Siegel does offer some case material in one of his columns.<br /><br />In it he touts the virtues of casual sex by showing how much good it did for a woman patient of his.<br /><br />After engaging in a casual sexual relationship this woman was supposedly primed to involve herself in something more meaningful, and, as you say, more adult.<br /><br />It is a nice spin to put on the fact that she was-- unsurprisingly--dumped by her casual sex partner.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-54720756141318414042011-12-21T17:26:06.100-08:002011-12-21T17:26:06.100-08:00This reminds me amusingly of the "Everything ...This reminds me amusingly of the "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask" guy Dr. Reuben. <br /><br />I was just a curious lad when I devoured his mega bestselling book, and shortly after he had an follow-up article in some magazine where he answered questions. One woman had written him about this role-playing, bondage etc. stuff that Siegel thinks is so great and how she and her boyfriend acted out, and asked what he thought.<br /><br />I've never forgotten the substance of his reply which was essentially, "What you're doing is childish. Time to grow up and have some adult sex."<br /><br />Heh, well it's good to see how much progress had been made over at <i>Psych Today</i> in the last 35 years!Robert Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357942424904415208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-77975775794046828102011-12-21T12:29:31.440-08:002011-12-21T12:29:31.440-08:00A Very Mental Christmas!
