0:00well hello everybody this is the
0:02fireside chat I have every week the I is
0:06Dennis Prager
0:06hi welcome this is my home this is my
0:10Bulldog who and about the 10-minute
0:13point will begin snoring probably and
0:15get progressively louder over the course
0:18of the broadcast at least that's what
0:21often happens not always actually Otto
0:24may be America's most famous dog at this
0:26time which as I often tell you I am
0:29proud as is sort of dad that it has not
0:33gone to his head there is nothing more
0:35obnoxious than an arrogant dog I mean
0:38let's be honest a dog that thinks the
0:40world of himself is very unpleasant and
0:43that's of course our fire it's a real
0:46fire which we have 24 not 24/7 but we
0:50have for all the broadcasts of the year
0:52whatever the weather might be so what is
0:55the purpose of these broadcasts of these
0:57fireside chats is for me to just have as
1:01informal a time with you as possible to
1:04offer thoughts on that I have I want you
1:09to feel free to look at any of the now
1:12almost 90 of these and you know
1:16hopefully there will be you know one day
1:19a thousand of these but whatever the
1:21number is I want you to feel that you
1:24can learn from the first one as much as
1:26the most recent one so I also would very
1:30strongly recommend that parents show
1:32this to their kids just as they do
1:34Praeger you videos this is brought to
1:36you of course by Prager University now
1:39today is very exceptional and I need to
1:42say this very clearly at the outset I am
1:45gonna I always read questions that are
1:49sent to me and I am gonna start with a
1:52question and it's gonna I'm gonna speak
1:55about it for a while I hope I'll have
1:56time for more questions I may not it's
1:58all spontaneous but here's the point
2:01this is not for little kids where is
2:04almost every other of the fireside chats
2:07I don't care if your seven-year-old
2:09watches this in fact I hope your
2:11seven-year-old does
2:13but this one is on sexual matters it is
2:19about male sexuality as you will hear in
2:21a moment and so it's probably not for
2:24your seven-year-old so if you have a
2:26thirteen-year-old would it be good you
2:28have to decide maybe watch it first then
2:31you will decide I certainly think
2:33generally speaking given the world in
2:35which we live teenagers should hear
2:36about this certainly by 15 you one
2:41should not hide the subject I'm about to
2:44speak about from from a teenager the the
2:48earlier that people knew no this
2:50I knew this very early in my life what
2:52I'm about to tell you and for a whole
2:56host of reasons but anyway I'll read you
2:59the question so I've told you about the
3:01littlest kids and now you know this is
3:05from Danny who's 18 perfect Sydney
3:09Australia hi Danny and Sydney g'day
3:12Dennis very cute very good I actually
3:15goodbye goodbye you what are you doing
3:17the fireside chat on male nature you
3:20mentioned a while ago it would be very
3:23interesting to hear your thoughts on it
3:24and I love this also what's your
3:27favorite Beethoven symphony that's
3:29really funny
3:29the the combination oh and I'll start
3:34with the latter part I probably have
3:37they're all matte they're all
3:39masterpieces absolutely but I would say
3:43the seventh and the seventh the fifth I
3:46would go seventh and fifth or tied and
3:52the third and the ninth but it's not
3:57coincidental that there they are
3:59odd numbered symphonies and I'll just
4:01take 20 seconds on this Beethoven wrote
4:04nine symphonies and except for the first
4:07the third the 5th to 7th and the 9th are
4:09very very serious and the 2nd 4th 6th
4:14and 8th or not it's a very interesting
4:16thing he'd like he would go intense less
4:19intense intense less intense ok male
4:22nature and alright here we go
4:24Meaghan
4:26thank you okay so this is very important
4:30the very fact that I have to talk about
4:33this and I've had to my whole life and
4:35by the way there is a a series that I
4:40gave on male sexual nature for I think
4:44therefore ninety minute talks and I gave
4:48them a long time ago and I gave him at a
4:50synagogue so they couldn't they're not
4:52exactly risque but on the other hand
4:54they're very direct and they're very
4:58important I am sure they're available at
5:01the Prager store which owns all of my I
5:04don't which owns all about my personal
5:09product as it were but if this if you
5:13find this compelling you should give
5:16those those talks a male sexual nature I
5:20just think that's the title of it the
5:23reason that this amazes me is that I
5:25have to give it is I don't believe I
5:28would have had to have told us excuse me
5:30I don't think that I would have had to
5:32have told this to my grandmother I think
5:35my grandmother and I mean this literally
5:37I don't talk and hyperbole I believe my
5:40grandmother both my grandmother's
5:42neither of whom went well I guess my one
5:45grandmother did go to high school
5:47neither went to college one grandmother
5:49never went to high school but I would
5:51never have had to have given this talk
5:53to my grandparents or their parents and
5:56I'm talking grandmother's let alone
5:58grandfathers who certainly would know
6:00what I'm talking about because they're
6:01male and why would that be in other
6:05words I believe I am I am close to
6:08certain that my grandmother understood
6:13male sexual nature better than the
6:15average female gets a PhD in sociology
6:19or English or certainly women's studies
6:23or Gender Studies or a whole host of
6:27other things and it's an amazing thing
6:29in other words you are actually taught
6:31to be ignorant at college on many many
6:34subjects this is one of them
6:36beginning with the the
6:40lie that I was told when I was in
6:42college that men and women are basically
6:44the same and so if people are base if
6:49men and women are basically the same
6:50then the I the whole question is absurd
6:53what do you mean male sexual nature
6:54there's no such thing men and women have
6:58the same sexual natures but when when
7:00you realize you it's to say that is to
7:06is to live life on premise a and then
7:11believe premise B it's astonishing to me
7:16did you if you believe that men and
7:18women have the same natures then how do
7:21you explain that
7:23all this harassment stuff and all this
7:26me to stuff and all of that is all in
7:3099.999% of it is all in one direction
7:33male against female why aren't 50
7:36percent of the harasser is female
7:38how come females aren't just walking
7:41over to men and and and touching them in
7:44an inappropriate manner because they're
7:46they're they're more self-disciplined
7:48please I mean it you've got to you've
7:53got to have a graduate degree to believe
7:55something that's stupid okay it's
7:57because it's it's not it's not in female
7:59nature to do that
8:01gee I you know I really area Vera you
8:05know all these men working in the office
8:06and I really I just want to tell them
8:10sexual things I do or I just I really
8:13want to touch them all over them
8:16it's do you understand
8:21no I guess well I'm imposing it as a
8:26question that is it worth asking it's
8:30just worth stating the amount of untruth
8:36that is told at college and told in the
8:41media and anything else that the left
8:43the the left you have to understand the
8:46left does not believe that the search
8:51for truth
8:52is a search worth making they believe
8:55that the search is for utopia a place
9:01they imagine that men and women are the
9:04same and then they declare it whatever
9:07they imagine that is that is their
9:12reality it is an it's it's an extremely
9:15immature childlike thing I leave in
9:19monsters so there must be monsters
9:22that's what that's what it is I believe
9:25I want to believe men and women are by
9:27the way I don't even know why you want
9:28to believe that to me that is not hardly
9:32a wonderful world where both sexes are
9:34the same it's one of the one of the it's
9:37a difficulty it's a challenge but it's
9:39one of the greatest things on earth that
9:40men and women are different but that's
9:44where this that's the reason that I even
9:46have to talk about this because of this
9:49and it's only the word law is
9:52appropriate that men and women are
9:53basically the same
9:54so again answer me how do you explain
9:57that all of this stuff how many women
9:59are saying to men who work for them if
10:02you don't sleep with me you know you
10:04don't get advanced at work it's this
10:10this just the sexual natures are so
10:13different that it is probably the
10:17hardest the hardest thing that I know of
10:20in among humans is for women to
10:25understand male sexual nature some do
10:28Allison Armstrong for example does she's
10:31she has a tremendous presence on the
10:34internet and I have her on my
10:35male-female hour four times a year and I
10:39have for about ten years
10:40she says she's gifted because she she
10:43and I asked her often why do you
10:45understand men so well said because I
10:47wanted to that's all it takes it takes a
10:53woman that to have the desire to
10:58understand men but most women don't want
11:02to in this in this realm not because
11:04they're bad or
11:05anything else but because it's too
11:07frightening and a totally understandably
11:10male sexual nature is frightening to
11:13women and I get it and by the way it
11:17went
11:17when uncontrolled male sexual nature is
11:20frightening but most men at least in our
11:25society thank God do control themselves
11:28but uncontrolled male sexual nature is
11:32truly a frightening thing to women that
11:38if there were no moral rules and no
11:42police men would grab women and do what
11:45they wanted as a rule that is the way
11:47men are made the fact that your man
11:50doesn't act that way is because he has
11:53been given a set of rules and because he
11:56knows that he will be punished or just
11:59enough that he has the set of rules and
12:00the fear of punishment is not even
12:02necessary but rules men know this and
12:06and we ween that we males I am one of
12:09them I a male we know this from a very
12:11early age we can't act out our sexual
12:14nature it's it's it's made clear to two
12:18boys in the vast majority of instances
12:21at a very early age and it is a good
12:24thing that it that it is done but the
12:28reason a woman will not want to know is
12:32because she wants to believe the
12:35feminist lie the left-wing lie and I
12:40hate using such strong language because
12:41the word lie to me you have to reserve
12:44it for really really severe moments but
12:47this is severe that men and women are
12:50basically the same is a spectacular lie
12:52and so what happened by the way I have
12:57lived long enough to see the results so
12:59all these young women go to college they
13:01learn this lie oh you have the same
13:04sexual nature as a man so they act out
13:07on it you're as happy with with
13:11non-committed non-emotional sex as males
13:14are so a lot of girls say oh yes I'm
13:18just like
13:18I I could sleep around just as much as
13:20guys want to sleep around and this is
13:23not true for every female clearly I
13:26recognize that but for most that is not
13:29a road to happiness
13:32whereas for men it may not be a road for
13:35happiness but it certainly isn't a road
13:37to unhappiness men are very happy to
13:40have women say oh I'm just like you
13:42let's sleep together
13:44the men men are very happy to meet such
13:49a woman who has that attitude but one of
13:52the reasons that that there is this lie
13:56and other lie that the colleges are a
13:57rape culture I could prove to you it's a
13:59lie because parents would never send
14:02their daughters to a rape culture okay
14:05so people say it but they don't believe
14:07it would you send your daughter to a
14:09place you thought how to rape culture of
14:11course not would you go if you were
14:13female of course not
14:15so that's a big lie by the way to get me
14:18to defend colleges shows I'm committed
14:21to truth because I can't stand what
14:23colleges have become and this so anyway
14:26they this is the this is the argument so
14:28a lot of the women what is it called
14:30again a rape culture because a lot of
14:32women do have a fair amount of sex with
14:36different men and then feel very unhappy
14:39about it afterwards even depressed it's
14:43not been a road to their happiness are
14:44there some women who love it I have no
14:46doubt there are some women who love it
14:49that I can never account for everyone if
14:52you have to account for everyone you
14:55will never understand life you have to
14:57be able to make generalizations about
14:59most seatbelts save lives does it save
15:03everyone's life in a crash no sometimes
15:06people are killed by a seatbelt
15:08but the statement seatbelts save lives
15:10is accurate so to whatever statements
15:14are making about sexual nature of men
15:16versus women so okay so in no order of
15:22importance one vast difference is that
15:25this sex is on male's minds a lot or as
15:30a friend of mine said
15:32to me in high school and he was a
15:35religious guy he came over to me one day
15:38you know Dennis I did a survey of the
15:40guys in our class and I came to the
15:43conclusion that one out of every 10
15:46thoughts a guy has is not about sex that
15:52was a brilliant line that's why I didn't
15:55forget it I wasn't in high school
15:58yesterday and I remember it and I
16:00thought that is really funny because
16:02there's so much truth to it women would
16:05be stuck if women got a male brain for a
16:07day there would be a lot of reactions
16:10first of all they would be they would be
16:12astonished at how little is going on it
16:16is that would be one of the major or
16:17they would go oh my god free free at
16:20last
16:21whereas if men got a woman's brain for
16:23they I think they would shoot themselves
16:24don't we would not allow them to have
16:27access to a weapon because they would
16:30probably kill themselves so much is
16:31going on in the female brain at one time
16:34so there are very different brains which
16:37there's a very funny thing on the
16:40internet about a guy talking about the
16:42male brain and the female brain and he
16:43walks over to a male you know a
16:46sculpture of a male head and the
16:48sculpture of a female head by the way
16:50there there are so many hilarious so
16:54many hilarious things on the internet
16:56about male-female differences and they
16:58all resonate to the exact same ideas
17:01that I'm talking to you about now
17:02because it peeps these people know it
17:04there's a famous one about two boxes
17:07there's a female box and a mail box so
17:11the female box has got like ten knobs
17:14and dials and it has lighting diodes and
17:18the mail box has an on/off switch you
17:22know or there's another one famous one
17:25on the only how to how does seduce a
17:29woman and it's got a list of like 15
17:32things bring her flowers say nice things
17:34talk about what's on her mind
17:37perhaps stroked her tenderly and you
17:40know like 10 50 things the other one
17:45bring food show up naked that's it
17:49that's that's that's it's not hard so
17:52why do they put Y do people put these
17:54things out because they resonate with
17:58real life that's why so of course men
18:00think about it more than women are there
18:02some women who are preoccupied with it
18:05yes there are some women but again it's
18:07like the old seatbelts think it's
18:08irrelevant for the vast majority look
18:10I'm so open on this and by the way I'm
18:12open about this because my father was my
18:15father spoke about sex with the ease
18:17with which he would speak about the
18:19weather as a very rare home in that
18:21regard and he was and he was a religious
18:23man he was an Orthodox Jew and and yet
18:26he spoke about it again with the ease
18:28with which and therefore I can I got
18:31this from him and so the difference only
18:35is he spoke to the family about it and I
18:37speak to millions of people about it so
18:39it but it's really I'm sort of a conduit
18:41to my father who taught me it's part of
18:44life recognize it control it but
18:48recognize it and and God made us this
18:51way there's nothing to rebel against you
18:54just have to learn to control it which
18:55is not easy he's he would sometimes he
18:59would actually sit at the at our Sabbath
19:03table where we did hours and hours of
19:05talking that's where I learned a lot
19:07about life at that table every Friday
19:09night and Saturday afternoon and he
19:12would say you know I have one question
19:13for God why did he make the male sex
19:16urge so strong and my mother was present
19:19and she she she loved them they were
19:22married 69 years and together 72 years
19:2573 years and but he was totally aware of
19:31the of the male sex urge and spoke about
19:33it so there the first difference is the
19:39the ubiquity of of thought about it and
19:44it takes it takes almost nothing to
19:48trigger that thought the if and that
19:52brings me to number point number 2 and
19:55that is the power of the visual we
19:59are stimulated by a whole host of things
20:02but men for men the visual is the most
20:06powerful and that does not have I've
20:10I've done this so often on my on my
20:13radio show I have a national radio show
20:16you even people around the world listen
20:19to it it's on the internet and every
20:21Wednesday the second hour of my show is
20:23about men and women and it's I'm very
20:25honest about it and I've learned an
20:27immense amount because I have had
20:28thousands of people call in and send me
20:30emails this is not just stuff that I
20:34knew on my own this is stuff based on
20:36talking to so many men and women who
20:38open up to me and so I get the argument
20:43a woman will call up what are you
20:44talking about oh I you don't think that
20:46I'm turned on by a really good-looking
20:48man okay so let me answer that there are
20:52there are so many answers to the this
20:56question well aren't women also visually
20:58aroused yes
21:02but this it's not comparable and the
21:04only reason women argue with me about
21:06this is totally understandably because
21:09they don't understand how powerful it is
21:11in men otherwise they would they
21:13wouldn't argue so I have a whole host of
21:16proofs what the most well I don't know
21:19if it's the most obvious proof but an
21:21obvious proof is what what men watch on
21:25the Internet it used to be in magazines
21:27now of course on the Internet
21:29so I when I will write a book on male
21:33sexual nature which I intend to after I
21:36have a whole of a series of books I have
21:39to finish but it's very important I feel
21:42a moral obligation to write such a book
21:44so I will list and I think I actually
21:48did I think somewhere but anyway I I
21:53listed some of the things that are
21:57available for men to look at which for I
22:02won't
22:03I won't go beyond what is allowable on
22:07public video and but I
22:12let's put it this way there is nothing
22:15about a woman that for which there isn't
22:18some website I'll give you a simple one
22:22just legs there are no websites of male
22:26legs to turn women on okay I it doesn't
22:32exist the idea is a joke oh my God look
22:35at those legs oh wow is that exciting
22:39does not happen to women but it does
22:41happen to men in fact you don't even
22:43need a leg if if the Society had women
22:47wearing all wearing long skirts to their
22:50ankles and all you could see is the
22:52woman's ankle ankles with turn men on
22:55I'm not kidding I that none that nothing
22:58I'm saying is exaggerated or kidding
23:01because you have to hear this or they
23:04Ori or you can't have good relations
23:06between men and women
23:07you can't base relationships on lies as
23:12desirable as the lies maybe the visual
23:16is that powerful and if there there is
23:21no equivalent in women that's not to say
23:24that a really an unbelievably gorgeous
23:28man will not will not turn a woman on of
23:32course obviously but even that shows you
23:35the guy has to be unbelievably gorgeous
23:38whereas the the woman doesn't have to be
23:40unbelievably gorgeous she basically has
23:42to breathe and and so that that's this
23:45though there's no comparison
23:47how many gorgeous men are there very
23:49very very small the vast majority of men
23:52are average looking they become sexy by
23:56personality ambition intelligence I mean
24:01women fall why did you fall in love with
24:03him very few will say cuz he's gorgeous
24:05very will say well because he was I
24:08loved his sense of humor or I fell in
24:11love with his mind that's what they will
24:14say not all because of his body okay now
24:19it helps I have no doubt about that it's
24:22better to be good-looking if you're a
24:24man then
24:24not good looking I totally get that by
24:27the way most really good-looking men are
24:29gay so they're they're out of the
24:30picture for women anyway so this is the
24:33way it works and that's just this is the
24:37way it is it's as I said there's no legs
24:42so by the way since I've gone through
24:45all of this with women who've disagreed
24:46with me I know all the arguments well
24:48you know women are looking at
24:50pornography too these days
24:51yes but it's not the same thing and and
24:54it's not in the same numbers or the day
24:57the danger of pornography is
24:58overwhelming Levy's of emails there were
25:00the other dangers for women in society
25:02both sexes have their own problems but
25:05this problem is overwhelmingly a male
25:07one so the visual is has no analog for
25:14the female by the way it's that's the
25:17way the human species is made though the
25:21Bible is 3000 years ago describes the
25:25this biblical character in Genesis
25:27Rebecca as beautiful to look at and
25:30beautiful a form in other words a
25:32beautiful face in a beautiful body
25:353,000 years ago people made peace people
25:37who wrote the Bible or where God wrote
25:39the Bible whichever one you want to do
25:41but but it's it's that's that's the way
25:45it is that it's not true in peacocks in
25:48peacocks the mail is colorful and
25:51beautiful so he is the visual stimulant
25:54so it's true for peacocks but it's not
25:58true for people I can't tell you how
26:02unhappy I am that I even have to say
26:05this I'm saying every man watching
26:08unless he has been truly brainwashed to
26:13believe what women believe knows what
26:16I'm saying is true I know this because I
26:18get mail for men the men called me up
26:20they thanked me for saying it because
26:21they can't tell their wife this by the
26:23way I have a great video out there he
26:25wants you it's called he wants you it's
26:27I did that video and prettier you I only
26:30do about 10% of our videos but that's
26:32one of the ones that I did and it is
26:35about men looking at other women and
26:37it's very
26:38helpful to both sexes - to watch that
26:41because in the final analysis yes he
26:43looks we are programmed to look and by
26:46the way my wife - III could not be
26:50happily married if I had to hide my
26:52nature from my wife you are you are
26:56close to a person if you can say
26:58everything about yourself to them the
27:01more you hide the less you have a real
27:04relationship then but and therefore I'm
27:07telling you how often there's not a real
27:10relationship between men and women even
27:12married men and women because and I know
27:15this from talking to any number I mean
27:18thousands of men that they they don't
27:21let their wife know what they think
27:23sexually because they're afraid of her
27:26reaction she'll say you're sick that's
27:29what they're afraid you're sick but it's
27:31not sick it's completely normal
27:34sick is molesting a child that's sick I
27:37there is sickness in this world there's
27:40plenty of it but it's male sexual nature
27:44is not sick it is it is it is normal
27:46doesn't mean you can act on it all the
27:48time of course you can't but that's that
27:53is so the visual and the the ubiquity of
27:56the of thinking about it the ease with
28:00which it is triggered in males but
28:03obviously you know men go to work men do
28:05their jobs and men get a lot done but
28:08the fact is that that's what they think
28:10about there I'm so open about this I'll
28:13tell you a line I tell my wife which is
28:15uh I get she gets a big kick out of an
28:18idea out of nowhere will be driving in
28:19the car and I'll say you know you know
28:23the the last thing on your mind is the
28:27first in mine and we both cracked up and
28:30she knows I'm not talking about you know
28:32medieval Belgian history which is not
28:35the first thing on my mind generally
28:37speaking even if I'm in Belgium so
28:39that's by the way I will be in Belgium

29:05nature it will be on freedom so does
29:09that answer the question did I pretty
29:11much cover the the bases we have two men
29:14and a woman here it's you should ask you
29:17should play this for your if you're a
29:20girl with a boyfriend or a woman with a
29:24boyfriend you are a wife with a husband
29:29and I'll say is this true and then watch
29:33him stutter and it see the thing what I
29:42have done with my male/female hour is I
29:46have I called it I have defamed the
29:49monster male sexual nature is a monster
29:52to women and I have removed its fangs I
29:55have made it less frightening which is
29:59great it's a service to both sexes that
