I can't speak for him, but in my line I have read enough divorces to lower my faith in human nature to zero. The President is a fink. |

If you take sex completely out of the picture, because you know from experience that it won't matter for very long, marriage looks completely different. Finding someone you can live in close proximity to day after day is a daunting proposition. Carry Grant was married 4 times. He said the problem was the dailiness of it. You wake up with them, have breakfast with them, dinner with them, spend the evening together and then do it all again the next day. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Some people are so social they have to be around someone all the time. I much prefer living alone. I think most people are supposed to not be married. The President is a fink. |

"Oscar Wilde No wonder Oscar Wilde said "Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power." The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Maybe only slightly - being a divorce lawyer has convinced me to never get married Not really caring about sex is more about (a) not wanting kids (which, even under the best conditions, can happen via accident or "accidentally on purpose"), (b) liking my personal space and (c) the act of sex is overrated (IMHO) |

People I see too obsessed with sex almost always have a ton of personal problems. Child support a near given. Some end up turning gay. Others have several divorces or else a pile of problem relationships. They do stupid stuff. Listening to them is the most boring conversation ever. The President is a fink. |

Sexual obsession is more about validating a person who has low self esteem. Blame the god religions, Xtionity and Islam. They have been obsessed with sex for millennia. You don't see these problems in the Eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. They have no god that judges you for your thoughts about a natural act. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Are you going to expand on the billions of Chinese. They're obviously putting something somewhere. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I can buy that, and it would explain a lot. I think a bad relationship with parents kicks in as well. Knew a guy in college, obsessed with hooking up. And he hooked up with the ugliest women around. Total quantity over quality. I have to figure he by now has had half or more of his paycheck going to child support as those kinds can only dodge the bullet for so long. His relationship with his mother was totally awful. Though that could drive low self-esteem. The President is a fink. |

Remember the conquest aspect of sex when you were really young? Some guys get hooked on that feeling like it's a drug, and they need a fix on a regular basis. I knew a guy that slept with a lot of women, most of them ugly. When you go for quantity, they're the only volunteers. The good ones have too many opportunities every day to ever give you a second look. Even Ashton Kutcher has said you can be good looking and famous, and getting the good ones is always an uphill climb. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
