Is auto-erotic behavior cheating?
Is masturbation evil?
Does it matter if you're imagining your partner or someone else (or multiple people)?
Does it matter if you're imagining it in weird places?
Has Erick engaged in this behavior, if so should they not get married?

I think every couple should HAVE to do this pre-marital boot camp before walking down the aisle. Maybe this would lower the divorce rate significantly. AND the computerized baby is a great tool to make sure these couples are really ready to become parents. I love the idea that my daughter's high school has these dolls, and they have to take one home and care for it just like a real baby. They also get graded on it as well. I think all teens should have to do this as well, maybe it would help lower the birth rate for teen mothers. Good luck to these three couples in their marriages.
change in the polls?

I was looking at the polls and I was surprised to see that a majority of viewers think Erick and Mary Ellen should get married seeing that he's a sexaholic and she's a sexophobe. Sex plays a big part in a relationship and the imbalance here just doesn't make for a great relationship for them.

Jeditom, I don't believe Erick is a sexaholic, he's just excited about his wedding night. Mary Ellen is just nervous about the experience. Personally, I think Erick and Mary Ellen have the best relationship out of all the couples there that they can easily work through this. After all, who says you have to have things all down-pat physically on your first night together? You've got your whole marriage to learn how to enhence your physical relationship.

Those were the words used by Darth Sidious to describe the young Queen Amidala. Erick and Mary Ellen, like the queen, are young and naive as well. I'm not so sure I can see opposites attracting here.

Who are you to say that So-and-So can't be attracted to eachother? Who said they were opposites, anyway? One just has a problem, but that does not mean that they can't make it! And it doesn't mean that they cannot love eachother or have a happy life together! I wish them the best of luck on their marriage.

First signs of trouble, like weeds, can grow and spread like wildfire. Better they be noticed now than later when it may be too late.

No wonder the divorce in this country is so high. People (like you...?) expect marriages to fail before they even begin. No amount of pessimism could ever bring down high hopes for a happy life with your mate. Maybe you should call Dr. Phil?

And there are people who won't get married for fear of divorce that have been on Dr. Phil. I'm not one of them. I'm going to make a girl very happy someday. This I know and no anonymous message on this board can tell me otherwise.

You don't even see everything that was actually spoken... and yet you make such comments. Erick is not a sexaholic, just a young man committed to wait until the wedding and anxious for that day to come! Mary Ellen will be ok... what does a young lady that has waited until her wedding night suppose to know about sex and what she likes??? I admire them both for their willingness to wait and willingness to go on national TV an say they have chosen to wait... more young people should follow their example!

If they foresee everything so perfect and carefree, then their marriage is just gonna go right down the tube.

Perhaps you can re-read my message? I never said everything would be "carefree"! Things will happen, I know, but if our strength and tight friendship for the past four+ years serves for anything, I know it will be wonderful and perfect. Sometimes you just know it. Haven't you ever met a couple who has been married for twenty years but seem like newlyweds? If you don't believe this can be true, maybe you should try seeing the glass as half full for a change.

Those first signs of trouble just might blossom into more problems for them. I'm not saying it's a certainty, but rather a possibility.

I agree with that, but what does that have to do with you calling Erick a sexaholic?
He's a bit kinky, she's not so much right now. That doesn't mean they can't work out some kind of a negotiation.

Just because you're kinky, doesn't mean you're a sexaholic.
well it just so happens...

I can be kinky but I know what's realistic and what's not.

At times I'd like to say to Erick, as Senator Padme Amidala said to Anakin Skywalker, "We live in a real world, come back to it."

there is nothing wrong with being kinky, including having sex often and in weird places, just as long as their partner is comfortable with it.
do you know how many people have sex in public places like pools and in cars? A lot more than you think.
He is kinky, being kinky is fine.
How is being kinky not living in the real world?
kinky's cool

I didn't say there was anything wrong with being kinky. Mary Ellen is not comfortable with it. Those people having sex in cars or other public places get arrested for indecent exposure.
