Well then if your sex life is private why do you scrutinize others? No need for this column, remove it please. Thanks foxnews, you’re so great!

I love Dr. Fulbright’s advice she is wonderful!

This is like asking a doctor if they have been afflicted by every disease they diagnose or treat. I’m not knocking the question but rather getting to the point of the answer. No one has experienced everything in every field yet we often lean hard on those with expert advice. I personally enjoy this column and often share the tidbits with my wife, but as an advisory column, that is as far as it goes. There is nothing wrong with gaining insight via alternate sources. As experience goes, this is often the first step to gaining knowledge. Thanks Doc and keep up the good work.

Dear Yvonne,

I am so happy you are explaining to the nation how to copulate.

Poor ancient people (and also dinosaurs, apes, and birds), how they only managed to copulate without your explanation!

Keep enlightening!

And please more attention to homosexuals and lesbians – they are in a special need now when they got the legalization of their copulations.

Amazed seems to think that sociological analysis of sexuality phenomena is scrutinization of others? Wonder what s/he is worried about… I applaud Fox for having the guts to offer smart, informative, and entertaining sex advice. Other news groups could learn a thing or two from Fox & Fulbright.

I think that instead of an agenda of promoting pornography, denying sexual additions, and of promoting a risky or promiscious lifestyle that you could stick to relational advice, health related issues and could do more Q&A for people. I sometimes find interesting health related topics and things that might help people understand the opposite gender and even how to encourage communication on the topic between couples, but some of the stuff you write about to me sounds like you’ve watched too much sex and the city.

Why not help people off sexual additions like porn, prostitution, fetishes, non-relational “relations” and how to encourage kids to do what our law books say – wait till you are an adult and maybe even till you get married. All we get in the media is that everyone jumps in bed with everyone after a short time and that it is only fun.

With the behavior you promote, you should also be aware of the people who think that that lifestyle has no consequences – abortion, stds, psycological issues, feelings of being used…sex is not just an act to make you feel good for a short time. It is an act of love…and you seem to miss it.

Also, we don’t want to see your clevage in your picture. Get a proper shirt on like a proper reporter/counselor. People shouldn’t be attracted to you – they should to their spouse, fiancee or special friend. The picture makes you look sleezy, and I don’t believe you want to portray yourself that way. If you do, you need counseling.

I do want to say you do have some good things to say, but you really need to rethink your column.

It’s complement. Sometimes book learning DOES trump experience.

In support to the ‘non impressed’:

it’s exactly the point:
Yvonne seems to treat sexual acts completely independent of love – like just a pure physiological function not much different from other human secretions.

And this IS the moral and cultural disaster which America inherited from drug- and sex-addicted hippies and punks of the era of the Sexual Revolution 1960th (just recall sexual copulations in public on San Francisco streets during the SF Summer 1967!)

Yvonne, try to understand a simple thing: sex is a PRIVATE action that should be based on LOVE.
It’s not a public show-business.
It SHOULD NOT BE A PUBLIC SHOW BUSINESS.
Unless, of course, you hate the pre-Marxist Western Civilization and are in love with the theory of ‘A Glass of Water’ by Alexandra Kollontai.

And those who need special consulations on how to have sex, should go to private consultants and not praise the Fox for this immoral shameless idiocy.

relax people, dr. f is an expert and your opinions are your own. if you don’t care for her work don’t click on it. it’s that simple. i always enjoy dr. f’s work. it is informative and well exicuted. and by the way, dr. f. is a hottie!!!

Hey not impressed, don’t include me in your ‘we’; personally I find the ‘clevage’ (sic) attractive. ‘Get a proper shirt on’??? That made my day. Keep up the good work Doctor, some of us like your work.

Yo Doc, as a male I love your CLEVAGE… Not Impressed probably doesn’t have clevage. Maybe she will go away. More Clevage, please … We love you girl.

Yo Doc… Still love your Clevage

Dr. F,
I love the pic, and love your advice. You write a clever, humorous, and informative column that I always look forward to. Which, Im sure, you do not need me to tell you.

“Not Impressed”-
Your idea of Yvonne’s “agenda of promoting pornography, denying sexual additions, and of promoting a risky or promiscious lifestyle” really made me laugh (considering recent column “7 Ways to Tell If You Are Addicted to Porn”). Everyone panic! The world is turning into a porn addicted, sex-based, immoral place to live. And Dr. F is to blame! Hilarious.

I find it interesting that people are telling the good Dr. what to write or not to write. As far as I can tell, this is a Q&A forum; people are writing HER and asking HER a question and she is answering, to the best of her ability, with the knowlege she has gained from education and training.

Perhaps the critics would be better suited to villify those who submitted the questions? After all, its those people don’t seem to have a problem raising issues regarding their “private” sex lives.

Come on people….Doctors haven’t necessarily experienced every illness they attend to!! Do we question them?

I am pleased to read that most of your “sensible” readers are looking upon your advice not as scrutiny, as “Amazed” does & not as prurience as “Not Impressed” & “Ivanov” do, but as your opinion based on current scientific data & the inconvenient realities of human psychology. That being said, perhaps “Amazed”, “Not Impressed” & “Ivanov” would be better suited sticking to whatever religious, dogmatic literature that they stuffily mete out and leave the “sex talk” to those who are bored with judgement in place of answers & are unafraid of their humanity.

Man….there are some real prudes here that are afraid of Dr. Fulbright…bet they have their hair in a high bunn and wear prairy dresses in deep Texas.

Keep up the good work Dr. Fulbright….they’re all jealous!

I read ALL your columns and enjoy them immensely. It amazes me that just because SOME people prefer to tell others how to live their lives, that they want your column removed, or they want to tell you how you should dress, or accuse you of scrutinizing the sex lives of others. How hypocritical! If they don’t like it, they don’t need to read it. How simple is that? Anyone with a brain can see that all you do is present factual information and that you LET EVERYONE DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THEM. Wonder why that is such a problem for some people? Keep the columns coming and thanks for all the information you give, and your great way of getting it across.

Kimberly,
you are absolutely right…..if to assume that sexual intercourses are an illness.

Hello, people, how old are you here?

Oh, I understand: you heard first time in your life from Yvonne that kids are being brought not by storks…

Let me then uncover for you one secret more: in sex, hands are more important than what you were thinking about before Yvonne lectures…

Such a sex-addicted kindergarten!

Regarding unimpressed. I like my fetishes and don’t want to “get help getting off them.” My question is, since you all seem to find this little column so upsetting, why are you reading it in the first place? You couldn’t be commenting on it unless you’re looking, so why not just bypass this very discreet column? Personally, I find it entertaining and occasionally informative. At least lets me see other views on sexuallity.

This column is here to generate hits.

Hot blonde + sex talk = web traffic.

Matters not how inane. Duhh.

Great column. Don’t change a thing!

great column! Don’t change a thing.

I think this is a great column. Very informative, and very unbiased. I think if you read between the lines a bit (and even, often, just read the lines) Dr Fulbright really points to the keys of any relationship, sexual or otherwise, married or otherwise: good, open, honest communication is the crucial to successful, healthy relationships. Being honest with yourself, and your partner, about what you want and like, is paramount. An awful lot of “traditional” and “religious” couples I know from my small, rural hometown could stand to learn that lesson. Dr Fulbright and Fox should be applauded for their efforts to promote better communications amongst relationships. And the best part of it being on a website? If you don’t want to read it, you don’t have to!

Hi everyone. I’m “Not Impressed” To set the record straight I’m a guy…married happily to the same woman for almost 16 years and plan on staying that way for a long time. I hope I don’t have cleavage…I’d be really really really really fat then. :>)

But, I am tired of seeing friend’s marriages have such problems as so many are addicted to porn. What people need is advise on how to get away from porn – not how to know if their partner is addicted and this article had very little to nothing about that. Marriages are dissolving due to affairs – people need relationship counseling – due to sexual addictions which Dr. Y says don’t exist. They do. They are our biggest cause of rape and violence against children. If people can’t control their hormones or if people don’t learn how, the problems go beyond one’s own self. If you loose your job, spouse, children – the respect of others and the loss of your own self-respect due to porn – you have an addiction.

I would also like to watch a tv program or movie with my two pre-teen boys without having to FF so many PG movies due to sexual content…or to put up with referrences to it. I’d like my little girl to grow up in a less “in your face” culture than what we have now.

To those of you attracted to Dr. Y, I can only say that that is the problem. She shouldn’t be using her looks to attract you to her column. If she was ugly, would you still be reading her column? She should be using her pen. I’m not saying she should be fired…no. Just change the content – the perspective of her column. As I said, some of what she talks about related to health related things are quite good. I’m not after her head – just after a new focus.

Of course one does not need to experience a thing to be an expert at it, whether that thing is a sexuality or some other, less personal, field.

Personally, I consider it to be, at best, crass to ask any lady, Doctor or not, about her private life. I do commend Dr. F for her mild response to the question. Were I her, I’m afraid the tendency would have been a much more blunt, “That’s none of your business!”

Hey stef guess you dont have the book smarts then since it is COMPLIMENTED.

Actually Mike, and I’m not jabbing at either you or Stef here, but it is “complemented,” as in to take away from while combining with, rather than praising. Textbook smarts mean little in the topic anyway as the concept of personal experience is much more suited to the initial discussion. We all live and learn. Expert advice is just that. What worked for one will not work for all. That said, all the comments above are valid.

Did anybody really look deeply into the purpose of the column? It’s an advice column based on what the scientific standard for human sexuality is. Of course she may not practice what she preaches. It may not be her style. But of course everything we practice may not be something she writes about. I’m sure you’ll never see a column by dr. f about having sex in a back alley while getting a reach-around from a spidermonkey…but i’m sure someone out there has done it. Just like Joe said, you can give advice on something you havent done, if you have the knowledge to back it up. And knowledge isnt always aquired by experience.
