The Q and A with Dr. Lisa Kollmorgen (Health & Family, April 8) by Joanne Trestrail about marital relations after recently arrived children was unbelievable. The more I thought about it, the more disturbed I became. The good doctor suggests that a husband might satisfy his unfulfilled sex urges by getting on the Internet, when his wife is not interested in sex after she has had a baby. Dr. Kollmorgen implies that it is OK as long as it is OK with his wife.
Unless the doctor meant that the husband could e-mail love letters to his wife, I fail to see how the Internet can play any healthy role in a couple’s relationship, whether it be exchanging anonymous e-mails of a sexual nature with strangers or, as the doctor puts it, “looking at the computer,” such as pornographic pictures of uneducated girls who have been exploited by the lowest form of entrepreneurs. This is acceptable? Would that same new dad like to see his baby daughter grow up to become an Internet star?
Can we stop acting as if the current wave of smut on the Internet is no big deal?
