Man Claims Sexual Activity With Wife
Brentwood, CA
Brad Greenstone, a Brentwood resident and father of 2, set off a national hailstorm last month when he asserted that he continues to have regular sexual relations with his wife literally years after marriage.
"I always knew there was something odd going on in that house," reported Karen Nolan, a neighbor, "Is it legal?"
Local Council member, Gene Shuman expressed similar outrage in yesterday's City Council meeting, "What's next? Couples living together without therapy? Where does this maddness stop?"
The topic has attracted widespread interest throughout the country. The "Westside Way"--a term now generally used to describe the normative state of suburban celebacy-- is rapidly entering the national debate. On Tuesday's 'Oprah', Janice Felton-- author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Westside Woman: how to draw out the intimate details of your friends lives and repeat them out of context"--opened the show this week with a little known statistic: sex after marriage is not only legal in most states, but common in many non-suburban neighborhoods. Some predict the trend could spread, potentially someday eclipsing such popular mainstay activities as yoga.
Others see the debate as an opportunity to raise awareness. One such group, the SPCH (The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Husbands) is preparing a national TV campaign entitled "Marriage: It's Not Just for Creating Disinterested, Bored Strangers Anymore." The ads are expected to debut at this year's Superbowl.
