License to Screw
Was at work today listening to a particular radio show in the background. It’s a talk radio station. The topic at the time was about athletes and their promiscuity. A wife of an NBA star said she puts condoms in his suitcase when he goes on the road. Her theory is, he better not let her find out what he’s doing and not to bring home any kind of disease. There are so many sides to this argument I don’t even know where to begin!
I can see her point. She knows he’s most likely going to screw some groupie when he’s gone. Why not acknowledge it and do what she can do on her end to protect herself? She has no plans on leaving him. They have a home, family and let’s face it, she’s very comfortable. I would have one question for her. If this husband of yours was a man with a $50.000/year income would you still be so quick to provide the condoms?
That brings me to my next point. Does it make a difference how much the man’s income is? When someone has money, it seems like they get away with a lot more. When a lot of money is involved, people tend to put up with more bullshit.
Giving him condoms basically tells him you don’t trust him. He has no self-control when any and every groupie throws herself on him. You know they will too. It doesn’t matter how much he loves you. Also, it doesn’t matter how many times he says no to all of them. There is a certain breed of women in the world and they have no shame! They don’t care if this man is married. Has kids and a happy home. She sees something she wants and will do whatever it takes to get it.
The type of women I just mentioned pray on every and any man. A lot of times they are successful at getting them too. Well at least getting them into bed. It is not because she is special either. Men need sex. That’s the reason. It’s true, they are wired differently. In general, women make an emotional connection when they think of sex. Men can think of sex…..and it will be just sex. Nothing personal. Pure physical. Some women know they will break at some point.
How well would you do if pussy was coming your way every time you stepped out? Most men would crumble under the pressure. The thought of being with another woman is enough to get the hormones going and have men thinking with that other head of theirs.
Time to flip the script. How many of you men would do the same for their wives? If she was on the road quite a bit, would you supply her with condoms? I don’t think so. When a woman cheats, the men react twice as bad as women do. You’re egos can’t handle it.
I say, to each their own. I can’t say what I would do in this situation. It is one of those things where you think you know what you would do but it can be different once you are really involved.
I highly agree w/ the last part of your post…i know what i would hypothetically do, but when it boils down to it, i would hope that my hypothesis turns into fact. while i acknowledge that men are wired differently, WOMAN have the upper hand. if every woman would act like the have some self-worth, i doubt we’d be dealing w/ as much “drama” as we do. The question i would like to ask every woman who’s are willing participants in these shenanigans, why are you willing to accept “less than” behavior from a man?
As for the NBA wife, she needs to get a clue. ya-ya, the money’s nice, the house is fabulous and not having to worry about where the next dollar is coming from is indescribable; But @ what cost is she having all these things? talking about u better not bring me home no disease; are you for real?! This may be my broke-ass opinion, but i see her putting them condoms in her man’s luggage as completely ridiculous. who says he’ll wear them anyway? this is the part where (as much as i love living in the lap of luxury) i (hypothetically) put my foot down. You were living before him, you’ll surely live after. but again, this is my broke-ass opinion!
