Was It Fair Of Ulrika To Make This Public?

[DeeLicious]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7038995/Ulrika-Jonsson-reveals-did-not-sex-husband-Brian-Monet-eight-years.html I certainly don't think this was fair on her ex husband, and I suspect deep down she has serious issues about men. What do you think?

Pixie, //I don't see that it is insulting to a man to say he has lost interest in sex, though. //

I think that's appalling! I don't know any man who would be happy to have his personal life - especially the embarrassing bits - plastered all over the media. I've gone right off her!

...and this is why anyone involved with anyone who is in the public eye by and large gets an NDA signed as part of their prenup :/ I find it really tacky.

I think you will find away from the all accepting sympathetic AB a man losing interest in sex is an incredibly hard topic to be open about in the real world and would still be the target of nudges and whispers from colleagues. I'm not sure a woman can say it's not insulting nor any other description.

One thing is certain Ulrika Jonnson liked "plenty of it" and got plenty of it.........she wasn't short of sex....wherever it could be found.

The menopause? That is all that the BBC are talking about this week...the Menopause. Looking back 50 years or more....it was no big deal women just got on with it.

Prudie, I think that’s basically what Ulrika is saying: Swedes can talk about it, Brits can’t. It’s not an outrage, it’s just a cultural difference. I think I actually prefer the alternative of talking about things rather than suppressing them, but perhaps I have Viking blood.

Sqad I am sooooooo glads that you a bloke know all about how women deal with menopause......maybe you should teach the rest of us who actually have been/are/will go through it what we should be doing.

[Calicogirl]

I think though both in Swedish and British culture, rightly or wrongly men's libido is psychologically linked to their degree of 'manliness'. That might indeed be a bit sad, but I bet if you polled all the men in Sweden and all the men in the UK and asked them if they'd be happy about their ex saying they had sex once in 8 years because they'd gone off it when she was gagging for it, I bet a very small number of them would be okay with that. x

Input she wasn’t ‘GfI’ because the menopause severely reduces a lady’s appetite.

[Zacs-Master]

But not input.

[woofgang]

and you know this how ZM?

//Swedes can talk about it, Brits can’t. It’s not an outrage, it’s just a cultural difference. //

The cultural difference being perhaps that the Brits retain a modicum of respect both for themselves and others.

[Calicogirl]

That's not always true surely Zacs? I know many a menopausal lady that is a veritable sex fiend x

[Zacs-Master]

Read the comments earlier in the thread. And this:

Not always true but UJ seems to be citing this as the reason for sex once in 8 years.

[Zacs-Master]

By the way.....do you have any phone numbers? ;xj

[Baldric]

Don't see a problem . . . . . . . . . . . yet :o)

[albaqwerty]

I don't understand the need for her to mention her sex life or lack thereof to the public who, quite frankly, probably couldn't give the proverbial.

[Zacs-Master]

As I said, she must have a book coming out.

[ummmm]

People talk about their sex life in autobiographies so I don't see the problem.

[Calicogirl]

//Not always true but UJ seems to be citing this as the reason for sex once in 8 years.//

I didn't get that from her interview, I got that she wanted sex and was trying to work things out but that he didn't and was pretty uncommunicative. I might be wrong but was my impression.

Either way it's fine to talk generally about sex, it's okay to say 'We had a great sex life then things just cooled naturally' or ' It turned out we weren't really sexually compatible' but I got the impression she was blaming him because he had a low libido. As I said I might have entirely misunderstood. x

Sqad.....much as I love you saying that the menopause is no big deal is hurtful to many women....I went quickly from a fit, healthy and relaxed and laid back person to someone who almost lost her marriage and had I the guts would have ended my life. And had I not had a nephew serving as a doctor in the RAF who took me to his hospital for tests and treatment I don't think I would be here today to annoy you.......the menopause was the worst time of my life and I wouldn't wish what I went through on my.......no....that's a fib.....of course I would!
