Sex
Questions from
viewers about sex, and
Doctor Leon’s common sense advice.
Mary – I recently had a baby and ever since I was pregnant my
husband has not wanted to have sex that often. I put on a good amount of
weight during pregnancy but have lost and continue to lose the weight. I
have also caught my husband looking at porno on the computer. What can I
do to make things better?
Doctor Leon – Congratulations on the birth of your child and
your conscious effort to shed your pregnancy-induced weight. Most women
don’t care enough about themselves or their partner to lose the weight.
Men learn (often too late) that the birth of children can ruin an
intimate relationship with their partner. This causes many men to avoid
sex as a means of preventing the birth of yet another screaming,
pooping, smelly, wrinkled carpet crawler that will take up even more of
his mate’s time.
Keep working on the weight loss, exercise regularly, cook a great meal
for your husband, get him a little inebriated with the spirit of his
choice and seduce him. Before you actually engage in sexual intercourse,
tell him you’re on the pill. Make it an experience he never forgets. He
needs a demonstration of the very real fact that you are just as
sensual, adventurous and passionate as you were before becoming
pregnant, while at the same time being relieved of the anxiety caused by
fear of another pregnancy.
Ask him to show you some of the porno he's got (just out of curiosity).
Who knows - it may turn you both on so much you can skip the good meal
and the alcoholic beverages.
Tom – I’ve been married for about six years and can’t
get it up any more for you know what. I want to, but it just won’t
happen. I love my wife. What is wrong with me?
Doctor Leon – You really do have a problem if you’re too
embarrassed to mention what you can’t get it up for. You might have
serious Victorian hang-ups. It’s also possible your wife just
doesn’t do it for you any more because she’s become fat, wears too
much make-up, claws your back too hard when you’re on top, or reads
Vogue Magazine while you’re trying to engage in sex. First, you need
to find out if you have a real problem or not. Go to one of those sex
therapists who is really just a prostitute masquerading as a
professional, and pay her to see if she can get you to the boiling
point. If she does, you don’t have a problem. Pay the therapist to
teach your wife to be like her. If the pseudo-therapist can’t turn
you on, learn shuffleboard.
