Logan Levkoff, PhD: sexologist, relationship expert & author

Okay, so here’s the thing. I couldn’t care less that Governor Spitzer sought out prostitutes. Technically, it’s not my business. And technically, do we really know that he and his wife didn’t have some sort of arrangement? I am so very tired of everyone imposing our personal values on everyone else’s relationship.

Now, that being said…what the hell? I mean what makes me crazy (about this or any other supposed “sex scandal”) is the hubris. (My eighth grade English teacher would be so very proud. I applied “hubris” to a current event.) But it’s true, right? Spitzer thought he was above the law. But that’s not just it for me. It’s the total hypocrisy that exists for people in our culture today.

David Vitter (staunch conservative Republican senator from Louisiana) was involved with prostitutes.
Larry Craig (anti-gay Republican senator) “accidentally” toe-tapped his way into a gay scandal.
Ted Haggard (evangelical and anti-gay crusader) had relations with a man and dabbled in cocaine (allegedly).

The list goes on and on.

When are we going to stop being so afraid of our own sexuality? When will we stop barking so loudly in an effort to hide who we are?

Spitzer is the latest in a long line of hypocrites. And I am over it.
