Men Lie

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a man thoroughly enjoying himself. So I was very happy last night, watching Richard Grazi having a ball, talking with a room full of young women at our most recent Manicures & Martinis event in Brooklyn. His take home message? Men lie.
Did you know that? I had my suspicions, but still….Dr. Grazi confirmed it last night. Yup. Men lie. Why did that little tidbit come up at an infertility prevention event? Hmmmm. Have you ever heard of STD’s?
Oh yeah. One of the key points of the Manicures & Martinis events is a simple one - if you are not currently trying to get pregnant, use a condom. You would be surprised how many women don’t. And the reasons why they don’t got knocked out of the water by Dr. G. over and over again last night. He told them straight - married men lie too. And no man really likes to wear a condom, he said. It feels like wearing surgical gloves when you’re playing the piano.
Most importantly, he told them what chlamydia does to your tubes - fills them with puss and makes them scar over. You know it’s funny, we’ve become so anesthetized by language - you hear everything everywhere these days. But use a word like puss in a room full of young women and you get a reaction. Major league eewww factor. But you also get something else. You get change.
And that’s what this simple, national initiative is really all about. Changing women’s understanding of their bodies, to reflect their true reproductive reality.
Yup. Men lie. But I’m personally grateful to Dr. Grazi for putting himself out there and telling the truth to a roomful of women who really needed to hear it.
