It began with a golfer.Then came the football and cricket players.Then guys from the financial sector felt left behind and in came IMF Chief Dominique Strauss Kahn.Anthony Weiner was the latest entry to a long list.Adding a whole new spice to a dish that the paparazzi all over the world have been serving to us for quite some time now.Everyone is all over these sex scandals cause media loves the attention it attracts when a public figure is mowed down in their court of virtue.Strangely though the same people make them the lords of the prime time.But the question that arises from the recent turn of events is "Whats with Money and Sex"?
Honestly speaking my heart reaches out to these men undermining the fact that they broke the hearts and hopes of their lovely wives,children,friends and many hysteric fans and followers.I know that they have disrespected their profession and office position by indulging in what many call shameful and heinous acts. But think about it for a moment.They are rich and powerful.They drive the Mercedes and Ferrari.They are the ones with six pack abs or with mind boggling bank balances.They are soaked in the moolah.In there professional and private lives they are surrounded by beautiful women all the time.Its just logical that they indulge in affairs that the society is so critical of.I am not trying to justify infidelity but to understand the strong urge that leads to it.
Lets look at the psychological aspect of this problem.Each and every boy grows up watching James Bond .He secretly desires to have the the same life style.Driving fast cars and dating hot women.These testosterone filled guys work hard to achieve what they have always desired for that is excellence in their respective fields.Some of them taste early success and others get to it after a lifetime of hard work and struggle.When they finally reach a point when they can actually achieve what they have always dreamed of they don't see any harm in living their life King Size.Why cant they enjoy something that took so much of efforts and struggle on their part.Recently an English Footballer said that girls give them a lot of attention and show their availability for sex.They would do anything for being a WAG.Now would it be fair to solely blame these men for these scandals.
Hollywood has time and again witnessed women taking away their husbands fortune when filling for divorce.I don't understand how this could help the victim overcome the trauma that she had experienced.When a person like Mr Kahn who is the chief of IMF is caught in a scandal it clearly portrays that this desire originates from his wish to prove to himself that he is godlike .He wants to prove that nobody can harm him and that he is above all law and order.That he is why he becomes a sex addict cause he thinks that why cant i have multiple affairs when i am what i am?Its his and many others who wanna prove to themselves that they are the sultans of the modern world and they can do what ever they want.
But the media is going too hard on these men.Its very possible that they feel sorry for what they have done .May be they fell in love all over again or a failed marriage and lack of family love drove them to it.We need to give these guys one more chance cause after all boys will be boys right?

Very well written yaar , but still u got to say its their fault, they chose to live a life of fame, respect and power,and with it a life under constant public scrutiny so they have to be a little bit more responsible.Yes they need to be given a chance , maybe they fell in love with someone else after marriage(certainly not Tiger Woods,he has had more than 12 mistresses,and who knows maybe while i am typing this he would be busy with another one), the people might forgive and forget,but not the media which is always hungry for such spicy stories !!! looking forward to more such interesting posts from you!!!
