Ok, my blogging friends! If you read the following which is an e-mail I got from a friend of mine, and agree, please e-mail Oprah. I feel like we need to take a stand against this kind of perversion. My friend, Monica, who also attended, said that she caught Oprah's eye a couple of times (they were in the center 2nd row) and glared at her. Then Oprah said, "This is what's going on in America, folks." I say, NO IT ISN'T! The people she's talking to are a minority and the majority of married couples have wonderful and fulfilling relationships without 'extra-marital affairs, other partners, and pornography. etc' I know she'll listen if she receives enough protest. A show that was taped by Hugh Nibley's daughter with false claims was never aired after an e-mail campaign. Thanks all!
Looks like we haven't convinced her yet. If you will, when you get to Oprah's homepage, click on the blue button in the top left hand corner. Then, 'e-mail us' is at the bottom of the drop down menu. Thanks! Jill

Subject: Oprahs show titled 237 reasons we have sex
Hello everybody~
Sorry to bother you again concerning this show. I thought we had maybe talked Oprah into not airing her show that we attended the taping of a few weeks back. Yesterday she previewed what would show next week and it looks like it will be airing. Please send her a loud message, persuading her not the air that show she's calling, "237 reasons we have sex". Below is the letter sent last week about our experience with this taping. Please take a few minutes and e-mail her show again if you haven't already. Thanks so much!

As I am usually a big fan, I flew to Chicago to attend a taping of Oprah's show with a few girl friends. Initially it was very exciting and fun, but once they announced the topic (you never know beforehand) that excitement turned to disappointment and embarrassment. The topic was "How to Spice up Your Sex Life". Oprah started by promoting a book By Dr. Pepper Schwartz called "Prime" which deals with her sexual adventures as a 60 year woman on countless one night stands around the world. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/books/324356_pepper20.html. She advocates adding sexual adventures (one night stands, anonymous partners, etc) to your life for women over age 50 whether or not they are married. The show went from bad to worse as Oprah posited that Erotica and Pornography could be acceptable and her guests encouraged people to use porn (movies, magazines, affairs) to enhance their relationships. She then interviewed a couple who was advocating and practicing an "open marriage". Oprah's panel of experts that offer advice for relationships said that they regularly prescribe pornography to couples as a positive means to spice up their sex life and intimacy. At no time, did the panel discuss or did Oprah argue about problems or devastation that these ill-conceived ideas can have on a marriage. I'm writing in hopes that I can convince each of you to help get the word to Oprah that this topic is exactly the thing that is destroying families and individuals in America. We must protect our families from the pornography and filth that is so prevalent today. We have to take a stand and convince her producers that this show should not be shown. Go to http://www.oprah.com/ and click on the link on the left side that says e-mail us. The sooner the better. As of yet, this show does not appear on her upcoming show list. Let's keep it that way. Thanks,Ann M.

I voiced my opinion, i hope it helps! It is sad that people just say " This is what is going on" and that makes it ok. sick!
Thanks, Kat. That was the comment that got me, too! I hope it helps, too, but at least I feel better saying something and not just letting it go by...
