I was thinking about that the other day, and it made me want to ask one question: What exactly is the deal with sex rehab?

What do you do there for 21 days? Obviously there is no sex, since the significant others are not part of the rehab. Is the number one rule at sex rehab that you aren’t allowed to smuggle your significant other in there inside your suitcase?

Really, though, what are they doing for the 21 days they’re there? Do they turn you off about sex? Do they show you pictures of women and tell you, “Bad, bad, bad!!”

Sex is good! I mean, how many relationships break up because of an unhealthy sex life? How many couples fight because they don’t understand each other sexually?

Say you have one person in a relationship who wants sex 24/7, and the other person doesn’t like to have sex very often. What do you do? Just tune each other out? Do you make a schedule?

When you have someone who wants sex with people who aren’t their partner, what do you do? Do you tell them to only think about sex for a maximum of one hour a day? Do you try to “detox” people from sex in sex rehab?

I mean drug rehab I understand. The lesson to be learned there is no drugs! They put you through a lot of psychological therapy to get you off of drugs for good. Same idea with alcohol rehab.

The sex rehab thing, though, I don’t get. If you love someone, you are supposed to want to have sex with them. So you are not going to try to get people in sex rehab to get “off sex” forever.

So what do you guys know about sex rehab? Does anyone know what actually happens during it?

Is it real treatment, or it just some hot and trendy way for celebrities to get away for 21 days? Is it basically a bunch of celebrities going to a cool clinic located on a mountaintop or on the ocean, and hanging with a bunch of other people who can afford to pay big bucks to not have sex for 21 days?

That’s what it seems that sex rehab is — 21 days of no sex. Then what happens is that you get out of there after not having sex for 21 days, and you go home and have incredible sex with your significant other.

We seem to be a society that has an addiction for everything people do. Are we that out of balance that we need rehab for everything?

Maybe I should go to writer’s rehab because I write way too many blogs. That’s it! I’m going to go on a 21 day detox program so I no longer write blogs complaining about how people drive here in Los Angeles.

I’m all for rehab and for people getting the help they need. There, however, needs to be a balance and sex rehab is something I really don’t get.

Sometimes I think that people don’t need rehab when it comes to sex. I think they are simply with the wrong sexual partner, or they are perhaps someone who was never meant to be in a monogamous type of relationship.

Why are we trying so hard as a culture to make everyone think and be a certain way? Everyone isn’t meant to be the same.

Think about it. Aren’t there some people who just don’t belong in intimate, monogamous relationships?

So the question here really is this: Do people really need sex rehab, or were they not meant to be with just one person?

We need to realize that people are all different. Some people like variety in their life. Some people really like intimacy in their life. Some people like monogamy in their life.

So maybe we need to stop evaluating and judging people. Because, really, who is to say what’s normal and what is not?

Otherwise, we all are going to be in rehab one day because we are going to be a society based totally on rules, regulations and judgment. I can see it now, there will be rehab for everything in the future. That kind of makes me sad. We are losing our individuality.

What do you think?

I read this a few months ago and just reread it today.

Enjoy and before you read it one last thought.

Eagles and the steelers!
I want to tell you about the story of Brian Boyle.

Brian Boyle was a zombie. In 2004, a truck smashed into his jet black 1994 Chevy Camaro, a month after he graduated from high school. From the article: “the collision forced his heart to the right side of his chest, collapsed his lungs, and splintered his ribs, collarbone and pelvis.”

“He lost 60% of his blood and was given 36 blood transfusions. He lost over 100 lbs on his presumed deathbed and died eight times just on the operating table. Just over three years later he completed the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.”

What did he say about this? He “used all of the negative things that were thrown at [him] after the accident as ammunition for [his] arsenal. When [he] crossed the finish line, [he] wasn’t Brian the sick boy anymore. [He] wasn’t the skeleton in the wheelchair – [he] was Brian the Ironman.”

He woke up from a two-month coma, and then “embarked on three years of intensive rehab, which included relearning how to blink and walk. He had only six months to train specifically for the Ironman, but most of his preparation, he said, had taken place in the hospital.”

He says: “My mentality was similar whether I was undergoing endless physical therapy sessions after the coma or pushing my body to reach the finish line at Kona. If it was learning how to blink my eyelid again or pounding through one more mile during the run, it was about the small goals. Pain was now something that I could conquer.”

So what’s next for him?

He wants to go back and do another Ironman.

What’s next for you?

You have no physical handicaps. You have only mental handicaps. You are allowing a weak mind – and your fears and insecurities – to dominate your life. You’re not willing to communicate with people because you’re not willing to push yourself the extra distance.

Some of you can’t push yourself, and some of you just WON’T. You know who I’m talking about here!

But read this story of Brian Boyle. Brian Boyle died eight times. You just have trouble flirting with the opposite sex. Which do you think is more challenging? Whose life do you think is harder? Whose comeback is harder?

Push yourself to be the best that you can possibly be, and stop with the fear and excuses.

Your brain is powerful. Your mind is powerful. You really need to start looking at it as the powerful entity that it is. You can create anything you want.
