Tiger Woods at the
Sex Clinic: 'What're they Doing All Day?'
"Are
they sitting all day long in therapy sessions designed to reconcile them to the
idea that life without multiple sexual partners still makes sense? Are they
learning meditation techniques that will help them better control their primary
sex organs?"
While Tiger Woods attends a clinic for sex addicts in Mississippi, his former girlfriends have become sought-after TV personalities around the world. Above, Cori Rist makes an appearance on 'Chiambretti night' TV show in Italy.
And now for something
completely different. It's about an issue that has been discussed within my
circle of female friends for some time now, albeit inconclusively. It’s the
Tiger Woods story: to be exact, his stay at a sex clinic, his pathetic TV confession
and his mea culpa while in the media pillory.
In fact, such a public
genuflection is something one would expect to see in a religious dictatorship,
but surely not in the Land of the Free - and a nation with a thriving porn
industry. And it's somewhat absurd that something two adults should be able to
work out for themselves is being played out in open view of the public, before a
kind of national “court of morality.”
What we're more interested in,
however, is this: What exactly is it that these men do at a sex clinic? Are
they sitting all day long in therapy sessions designed to reconcile them to the
idea that life without multiple sexual partners still makes sense? Are they
learning meditation techniques that will help them better control their primary
sex organs? Are they being given sedatives or is testosterone being siphoned
off?
My circle of female friends
has come to a conclusion: the sexaholics are most likely playing cards all day.
And Playstation. And golf. And drinking with their newfound buddies and talking
about the hottest cars. Or gazing at YouPorn. Perhaps they collectively
rehearse a rather lovely “sex confession” and practice the rueful look of purification
accompanied by the thigh slapping of their fellow sex addicts. We imagine it as
some kind of scout camp for big boys.
We don’t have such
institutions in this country. In this country, it is possible for the president
to have a mistress without it causing undue harm to his reputation. Quite
frankly, we prefer it that way.
