Bill Maher on Sex
On an episode of the ABC television talk show "Politically Incorrect," host Bill Maher was discussing some rules for relationships from the male perspective. With regards to sex he said, "Don't [gripe] about porn."
When the panel (three of whom were women) asked what he meant, he responded, "Unless you [women] are willing to give us sex whenever we want, you don't have the right to gripe if we use pornography."
Surprisingly, all three women agreed that the rule made sense. This rule and response demonstrate the distorted attitude towards sexuality prevalent in our society. Sex is seen as primarily for one's personal physical pleasure. The other person is merely a tool to be used to that end.
