A friend mentioned that he has given up TV news. He no longer subscribes to his favorite magazines.
Why? He respects his wife.
What if a magazine offered a choice of an edition with "no provocative photos" and "no sexual or sensuous advertising"? I would subscribe to that edition.
- Here's the main idea: thought about coming up with a “Happy Wife” version of magazines? I would like to look at Popular Mechanics, Discover magazine, National Geographic, Time, Psychology Today… without ads that have any women in the ads and without provocative photos accompanying the articles.
Why not hire 20-something female editors who don’t mind looking at those kinds of images and pay them to substitute trees and animals as the attention grabbers in the photos? Then the revised ads would be placed in the magazines or would be glued over the images in the
One of the men in the Pure Desire / Conqueror series (that I just joined) mentioned that he has a particular set of behaviors that have helped him build trust with his wife:
“I don’t look at magazines.
I haven’t watched commercial Tv for months,
I don’t see the TV news,
we don’t go to movies.
I don’t read a newspaper
But we know that her language of love is quality time together, so I take two afternoons off each week to spend with her and I spent all of Sunday with her, just sitting together in the back of our home."
Wow. It sounds like my journey. I, too, have decided to avoid looking at magazines and TV. I just don’t go there. Why?
- My wife might see me looking at the TV and conclude that I’m staring at the neck or the bustline of the news presenter, when in fact I’m looking at the photo on the left side of the screen.
- My wife might see me looking at a magazine and conclude I’m looking at the car ad with the woman in the driver’s seat when in fact I’m looking at the article on the left side of the page.
My testimonial: My brain has been poisoned and diminished and damaged from 20 years of looking at explicit photos and by being introduced to "XXX" magazines by my father at age 15. In the Pure Desire book, Dr. Roberts writes that there is often a damaged relationship with the father in the background. This awareness is confirmed for me.
How to move forward?
No TV
No magazines
Say a prayer before entering a supermarket

I would be great if someone could start a company that created "happy wife" editions of magazines like Smithsonian Magazine, Discover, Popular Science, and Psychology Today.

FOR EXAMPLE: Do a search of "eternal curves psychology today" and you will find remarkable information:
The total amount of fat a human female carries is seven times that of other animals, and much more than men! Only bears ready to hibernate, penguins facing a sunless winter without food, or whales swimming in arctic waters have fat percentages that approach those in normal, healthy, trim young women. Women, however, don’t regularly swim in arctic waters or hibernate for the winter. Why, then, have they been designed to store so much fat in their hips, buttocks, and legs?
One clue is that the fat stored there is protected; it doesn’t figure into weight fluctuations. Fat in the upper body is like a checking account with frequent deposits and withdrawals. But hip and leg fat is more like a certificate of deposit—it usually remains untouched by weight shifts. Only during the last few months of pregnancy and while nursing do women start breaking down this lower-body fat, making it exclusively available to the rapidly growing infant. Something stored there seems very important for their children. It couldn’t be just a matter of calories, because it’s easy for the mothers to get them simply by eating more of anything.
Just as human mothers have seven times more body fat than other animals, human babies have a body part that is seven times larger than the one in other animals—an enormous brain that grows fastest in the first two years of life. Other than water, the human brain is mostly fat and has a lot of a particular kind of fat: an omega-3 fat called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). We can’t make omega-3 fats; they have to come from what we eat, and women tend to stash their DHA in the same hip and leg fat that men value.
A human baby’s need for DHA to feed its rapidly growing brain—DHA is especially incorporated into nerve cell membranes, facilitating the rapid transmission of information—is so great that a mother can’t supply enough from her everyday diet. Most of the DHA in a mother’s milk comes from what she has stored over the years in her lower-body fat. Even then, her supply is limited, as it is depleted by each child. Since a mother’s DHA levels are greatest for the first child, it may be one reason why first-born children tend to be smarter than their siblings.
That’s what men’s brains are telling us—that a woman’s figure signals the abundance of her DHA supply. Studies show that women with curvier hourglass figures have more DHA stored in their body fat. And because DHA makes brains work better, these curvier women also tend to have smarter children and, contrary to what you might expect, to be smarter themselves.

SOMEBODY OUT THERE. Please contact me if you decide to start an edition of Psychology Today and National Geographic without provocative photos or advertising that uses sensuous photos to sell products and services.
