Listener Mailbag: "Doing a great show"

From a listener in Kabul, Afghanistan...

Hi dear Emily,
What a nice show you have. I have listened to all your episodes.
I'm from a country where people believe sex and talking about sex, is a big sin. They do not even talk about sex with thier own wives.

I'm 28 and from Kabul, Afghanistan and still living here. I found your show, while looking for a an English radio show to improve my English listening.

Here in Afghanistan there is no dating culture and it's impossible to have sex before marriage. When someone gets married here, the couple must spend all their lives together. Because if they separate, it's against the culture here and they can not get remarried.

Emily, from your talk show I have learned a lot of things about sex and about your country¢s present culture.

I'm working for a Radio station also as a journalist and program presenter about current affairs in Afghanistan and world.

I hope one day we have talk show like yours in our own country, about sex issues, which people are not talking about it, but think about.

Wish you all that you want to have,
Marwand

Listener Mailbag:Hot Career Women

From Miles, a listener in Cambridge, England on the subject of The Forbes Article mentioned in Episode 43...

Hi Emily,

On the subject of the Forbes mag [episode 43]...

The options given to women through all the societal historical events has given lots of independence and options to women - and that is great. However, one of the effects of this is that so many guys are now no longer the provider and protector.

In many respects men are now redundant and many guys feel pretty insecure about this so they can't cope with the career woman thing.

It doesn't matter if she's a career woman or not. For me, I want an interesting woman who has her own life together, is hot and sexy, vibrant and enjoys life, as I do. Many guys can't cope with that. The trick is to be "together apart". For each to have their own life, and their own path, and to be able to share their lives too...takes a lot of maturity I think - and that's why we have time.
