I don't get it. We live in a highly sexualized society where everyday our eyes are assaulted with half naked women. Standing at the grocery checkout yesterday I saw 4 magazines out of 8 that had bikini clad women on the covers. What is a man to think? Are we supposed to think "awe that is cute" or " I like the colour of that bikini" or does a straight mans brain instantly think "OH boy now that is sexy".

Most men and many women talk sex at one time or another. It is human nature to either think about sex, want sex, have sex and talk about sex. Sex makes the world go around and a driving factor in a strong economy when you think about the amount of products, ads, drugs, surgeries we have to look sexier and even counseling. HBO had a hugely popular show "sex in the city" I wonder what that was about? How about the best seller "50 shades of grey"? who bought 80 million copies of that? Most people like sex.

To deny sex is to deny human nature. To bring sex onto the political stage is just petty. I don't care what Trump talked about 11 years ago. Now if it happened last month that might be more relevant but still it was 2 guys talking in what they thought was a private setting.

If we put 2 men or more together with a photo of a sexy woman and ask them what they think, they might really say what is on their minds and that you prudes is how babies are made.

Locker room talk is not the problem. Him bragging about forcing himself on a woman that didn't want his advances, and saying that as a star, he can get away with it. THAT is the problem. That she was married, and he was at the time makes it worse.

I know, amongst my friends: We could all sit around the campfire and say the crudest things in the world (and have). We could talk about a specific woman in ways that we never would if she was present (and have). But the SECOND that one of my buddies cheated on his wife, or the SECOND that he made an unwanted advance on another woman, it would not be tollerated, and the reaction would be swift, and strong. Both of those things have happened, and in all cases, those people are no longer part of the group of friends, and in all cases it was dealt with, not ignored or swept under the rugs.


I fully agree that locker room talk is one thing, but we are talking about another thing.

All I'm saying is there is sex talk going on all the time and it should be kept out of politics.

JFK was a known womanizer but it was mostly kept off the front page news and he is still revered.
Bill Clinton is another story and his oral office antics was one thing but lying about it was another yet he is revered by many to the point his wife and coconspirator is already packing for her move to 1600 Pennsy ave.


I think the sex talk should be left in the bedroom and we need to get back to the actual issues at hand.
Wouldn't it be nice if the mudslinging stopped and the American people could make choice based on policy and what a candidate will bring to help America?

Curious, if Melania defends her husband against charges of sexual misconduct will you also refer to her as a "coconspirator?"

Hell, I screwed Hillary Clinton 30 years ago, when she was hot, while Bill was at the office doing Paula.

Did ya get any last night after the party? "Ya, that chick can suck the chrome off a doorknob" (Nothing happened but a good night kiss, before he dropped her off at her door)

Trump said the women let him do these things.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your lies.

Hey!

That was good!

And you still don't get it.


I don't get it either. We as a species swap come with the other gender and even the same gender. Then you find him talking about grabbing a ****, years ago and didn't get slapped, offensive.

Give me a break!
