Hi Tyra,

I just came home and caught the tail end of your show "Men's Secret Sex Lives." I just wanted to say that if you want a really interesting perspective of men "looking for" sex outside of a committed relationship you should either read about or have an evolutionary psychologist on the show. Evolutionary psychology is a field that can really shed a light on many issues with very "valid" explinations of the differences between sexes, especially when it comes to affairs. I was reading some of the comments of other people and many of the viewers were curious as to why men are "seeking" these affairs to begin with. Although it may come as a surprise, we humans are not monogamous creatures. Where does fidelity come in then? Well this question and many others can be easily explained in an evolutionary perspective. This is, of course, by no means the only explination but it is a viable, scientific, and as objective as can be appraoch to explaining the differences between the two sexes and how certain "phenomenons" exist because of these differences (like why men cheat more than women, or why there is a double standard for women). So, my point is that you would probably really like this field and it would make a great idea for a different perspective to add to your show.

Thanks!!!

There's nothing wrong with casual safe sex when both parties have been checked for diseases and its consentual. Brothels or 'cat houses' are just another service provided to people. No worse than internet porn or playboys. As a woman in a commited relationship, I can understand why some women or men wouldn't want their partners to have sex outside of their relationship. To me it isn't really a big deal.

If my boyfriend was cheating on me or paying other women for sex, i would deff want to know. I somehow cant grasp the reason why married men pay for sex in the first place. Are they bored with their relationship? Can't their wife give them the same pleasure that their paying someone to do? This topic really bothers me. Say the couple has children, the man of the family is taken money out of the home to pay other women for sexual activities. Please help me understand why men do this..

Tyra, I dont watch your show very oftem but I did see todays show... I like how you spoke to that former owner of Escort service, I couldnt stand that guy how he was talking about woman as a piece of meat, and the smerk on his face when those man were talking... I think if woman stood up and stopped letting themselves get used by dancing, escorting ect ect then we wouldnt have this problem so much it is those woman that make men want to go and cheat and do "wht their fantasys" desires, its absolutely discussting, and I couldnt stand that bunny ranch woman when she got up and said how she is "teaching" wifes to act a certain way, please sit down like we woman are all not great or creative in bed, but her and all of those whores are... They make me sick! n the men that do those things discussed me, all of them need to get a grip on life.. Another thing I didnt like about this show is that how other man heard how many men do it, and if they had a thought about it in their head now they know how and what to do and get away w it, its like "wow look at how many do it why cant I" sickos! Those Escorts should be called Whores" its to good of a name for them!!!!

Hi Tyra! I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and enter a comment too!! (just like everyone else) But you know, I am so divided on this. The guy that was on your show was a little over the top. I mean your viewers could tell he was still proud of what he did. And the cute blonde woman, well she seemed happy with and proud of what she does. I think what is really scary to women is that we don't know 100% that our man is not cheating us (whether it be an escort or his secretary) How do we ever know? How does he ever know that we aren't doing the same thing? I know women who cheated on their husbands before, just as I know men who do it. I don't condone cheating and I don't understand why anyone would. If a person isn't getting enough from their wife/husband, then why are they with them? This show puts us all in a vulnerable place, it makes us think about our relationships and about the times that our man is at the office or out and about. It makes evaluate whether or not we think that he would cheat on us. I think that is why some people commented on how much they hated the show... It's not fun to think about the person you love the most betrayinng your trust. My husband is gone all of the time on deployments and such with the Navy and I sure don't want to think about him porting in other countries and sleeping with a prostitute. But it is important for men and women to analyze their relationships and work on them. Cheating is an action that a person takes and it is not necessarily one persons' fault. It is both people most of the time, because people aren't willing to talk about their weakness, especially not their tendencies of having an affair. But if any person is willing to take the steps and call an escort and not talk to their spouse or girlfriend about their problems, then I don't think they should be married/dating anyway. Why be married to or date someone you can't communicate with and fully trust? That's all I have for now... I love you Tyra!

Tyra, I just would like to add and comment on your show about women who attend strip clubs and who participate as a prostitue
or stripper to make easy money is some-what bazarre and insane!!!! There was one quess on the show which
was a middle age African-American woman who mentioned its good to see women show-off their beauty! It was completely shocking to hear her response! You have done plenty of shows about beauty
and what it really means to
FEEL BEAUTIFUL that it about
who you are or what's on the inside! I think you should do a show about "SELF RESPECT!"
It may change the way some of these women think about
beauty or sex! It may also cut down on some of these
idiotic and upsurd sex topics! However, I still
enjoy watching your other shows they continue to impress and surprise me. You have become my favorite
talk show host!

Hi Tyra,
I would like to comment on your show "Men's Secret Sex Lives" while I think that it is important to expose the prostitution and the reasons for engaging in it I think it is more important to examine how our society views prostitution. One of the guests mentioned that we (as North Americans) view prostitution as a minor crime. Why is treating a woman's body like a commodity not a crime?
Secondly, it would have been good if you had raised the issue of human trafficking into the commercial sex industry. Women are trafficking to the United States, Canada, Europe and other industrialized countries and are forced and coerced into sexual slavery. I call it sexual slavery because these women are held in brothels against their will and are forced to see as many clients as their proprietor deems necessary. These women are rarely paid and are often held in inhumane conditions with no freedom. Some men abuse and humiliate the women that they encounter through performing sexual acts that the women are not comfortable with. This is a crucial issue facing North America that men as well as women need to be aware of. The sex industry is not always as it seems and our society perpetuates beliefs that women need to cater sexually to their man in order to keep him from straying. What really is needed is a shift in how sex is conceptualized.
Thirdly, the issue of the age of many women in the commercial sex industry is concerning. While child prostitution is not as prevalent in the United States, men from the U.S. as well as other industrialized nations visit places such as Thailand in order to have sexual encounters with children (boys and girls). This is another issue that could be addressed along the same lines of today's show.
Prostitution, porn and escort services are turning women's bodies into commodities that can be bought, sold and discarded. I think it's about time we as a society of men and women take a look at why this has become a socially acceptable practice and how to ensure that women are treated fairly and justly in the system so that their rights are respected and can be defended.
Thanks,
Shannon

Hi Tyra. I found this epsisode very screwed up. I was pissed when Jason was saying that men who cheat on their wives have no feeling at all. I thought he was a pig for saying that and that men who cheat are pigs.

Tyra,
I LOVE your show I make sure to watch however i hated this episode. The first reason was the assumption that many women if not all in the industry are "damaged". I myself would never do it but i believe that a woman can be apart of that industry and not be damaged just like the woman you showed from the bunny ranch. I also was disappointed that you kind of only showed "high power men", I believe that there is a big difference between blue collar and "high power". I also wished that you would have done more to provide information on both sides rather than perpetuating misconcieved and misguided ideologies about the industry and those who choose to partake in it!

Hello Tyra, Your shows on women who have been cheated on or hurt in relationships continues to bring strong
awareness on how women or
even single women like myself who may not have been
in too many serious relationships on how should
communication with that date
(boyfriend)or future fiance if he is caught cheating on us. I'm still am a fan of your show topics!

Hi Tyra! I really do love your show!
Today's episode sickened me. All of these people saying that it is okay to cheat with a prostitiute because "there is no emotional attachment" are seriously deluded. What has this world come to that we condone these behaviors? So a man has stress at home, feels neglected by his wife, blah blah blah...so this gives him the right to defile the sanctity of marriage? If he wasn't willing to stand by his vows, he should never have gotten married in the first place. You work out your problems at home, not with a "nameless" women who is willing to be with you for a few hours. I don't blame the prostitutes, I blame the husbands solely...the girls are just doing their "job" (even though it makes me sad that they think so little of themselves to work in this profession. I don't care what anyone says about how these women enjoy sex and the money that goes along with it...that is crap. Who wants to sleep with various men who are just using their body, and then think "wow" that was great! Those people I think have some self-esteem issues)
Anyway, I just can't believe the other post that was talking about how as a wife she would try to figure out what she was doing wrong to make him cheat! Honey, you need to get some confidence...
And for those who say that men are just sexual creatures who instinctively feel the need to cheat...get over yourselves...a real man takes care of his family, and doesn't go out for brief "satisfaction" and may possibly bring home diseases to his wife.(and don't get me started on how "clean" high paying prostitutes are)
So Tyra, I love your shows, but this one was disturbing.

Dear Tyra
Thank you for wasting yet another hour of television with your talk show I am thinner for it however I would just like to say that today's show was yet another I couldn't stand to continue to watch your lack of ability to show an portray the entire spectrum of things truthfully is sad some women do like sex and should not be made to feel bad about it and if they do then they shouldn't be having sex plain and simple its not required nor should it be for a relationship however when you make a promise to another person and base an entire relationship on it (fidelity) of course you should abide by the rules of that promise but you further this fear that men have of being sexually truthful by telling men and women both that sex is always a self-esteem issue not that that is purely your intent but if I had not made that promise to a man I would love to be an escort and I have no self esteem issues I love who I am and like to show it my fiance and I have often contemplated a porn business and he looks at porn all the time he has a cupboard full of it and he never degrades me or any other woman I would not allow it we have a 2 yr old daughter and she should not have to be anymore shameful of her body than any man when I was younger I wore belly shirts and daisy dukes not to impress anyone but my self so please just for the sake of women everywhere let them have there freedom

Hi Tyra!!! It was my first time watching your show today and I loved it! I am in such amazement as to the whole prostitution aspect. I believe it is wrong morally and degrades a womans right and power and beauty that she has to offer the world! It is so sad to see what the world has come to and I'm only nineteen. I dont know much about life but I do know that prostitution is wrong! Cheating is wrong! Commiting Adultry is wrong! I could not believe the guest on your show today when he said 85-90 percent of men who do go to prostitues or escort services, are married men! That blew me away! It is so sad to see what the world has come to. I did some research on prostitution and I did not realize it is legal in Rhode Island and Nevada! It really disturbs me to know that! I am a strong believer in God and I believe he will punish those who do wrong against him and I'm praying for those men and women who seek prostitution. They just really need attention and help! They need to be loved! I was even more mortified to believe the guest who found out her husband was cheating on her and yet she still stayed with him. Better yet, she believes an affair saved their marriage. I do not buy into that! If you are treated badly and you stick around with someone who is lying and cheating, your just as bad as they are!Women need to take a STAND! You deserve better!!!!! Nobody deserves to be cheated on.I respect her but in my case, I would never put up with it! Anyways I love your show,Tyra! I look forward to watching it in the near future! Remember: God loves Prostitues!

Oh its always the womens fault right? I read some of the posts here and i am amazed that women balme themselves. Stop doing that! Its not all about men and what they want. What about what you want. One womens post on here actually said that she would wonder what she as a wife was doing wrong if her husband wanted to see an escort! Geez wake up women! Are you telling me thats its all the wives fault? What about what women want. Men are such babies. They want it all and when they dont get it they are willing to screw up there families. Sick!

Hi, Tyra. I'm concerned about a guest you had on today's show. Her names is Spirit. I live in Atlanta and listen to her sometimes on the radio. I'm concerned that you labeled her a psychotherapist when I haven't been able to find anything on her website saying she even graduated from high school. I don't know if she is lying about her credentials or not.

Hello Tyra, I'm writing this as I'm watching your show today 4/10/08 in reference to men's secret sex lives. Several comments were made by your guest the (former pimp) as well as Spirit (the phycologist). Both individuals made some very precise comments in reference to why men continue to use such services. However neither told the complete un-cut truth. That to me is the problem, and the why men continue to risk everything for moments of pleasure. I'm speaking from experience here. First and formost sex is, if good to the parties involved can be highly addictive. Sex is also contolled by women. I am willing to bet it all that 90 percent of men who part-take in such activities are'nt fully happy at home. Keep in mind I'm not just speaking sexually. Real men go out, bust their tail for their families only to be second to their children, and society. The phrase women and children first comes to mind. It's not about power, or the ability to get away with it. It's about a man getting what he wants when he wants it. A real man goes to work, pays the bills, helps in the raising of his children, showers his lady ocassionally with gifts, flowers, and kind words. Only to be put on the back-burnner for sex with his wife, girlfriend and etc. Alot of women are in denial about the sex in their relationships. I man that cheats, besides simply being greedy, considers the several times he's wanted to be intimate an the expense of his lady being tired, from working as well, or having a greater role with the children.

Tyra:

I watched today's show in horror. Men using escort (Bunny Ranch) services. If those three men in the shadows truly believed that what they are doing is socially acceptable, they would be man enough to reveal their faces and their voices. What a bunch of BOGUS dogs!

I can't believe how horrible that man who owned the escort service was. Only at the end did he decide to do the right thing and give tips about how to know if husbands were seeing escorts. He only did it to promote his "matchmaking" business. Really, who wants to go to a former escort manager as a matchmaker? I don't think he was truly sorry for running an escort service, he was just sorry that he got caught.

I couldn't stand that guy. Especially, how he treated the former escort. He said she was only worth a few hundred dollars. Then he gave her a hard time about not liking being an escort. I highly doubt that most women truly enjoy this lifestyle. He's a man, so he couldn't begin to show empathy for this woman and others in the business.

He was awful and just trying to capitalize on the Spitzer contoversy.

Interesting show.

ESCORT -Definition: to accompany someone or something in order to protect them
"At the first break in the program, ushers will escort you to any empty seats." ******Escort does not mean sex. I am an escort. I have an ad that offers companionship on outcall bases. Nothing mentions sex. I have the men sign a receipt (after they give me cash -only-) stating the fact that I'm NOT offering my time for anything sexual and NO refunds. I meet these men at their homes and after they sign the receipt I ask what they would like to do with the time (minimum 1 hour) and if they ask for something sexual, I leave. Keep in mind I do hang up if they ask for anything sexual on the phone. Escort doesn't mean prostitute.
