Is it betrayal if a man tells his friends in confidence about their sex lives?

Answer 1

: Not. First let me say there is nothing new under the sun. To be open and truthful about anything can only be good. It has to do with intent and integrity. If you trust to tell a friend your ups and downs about your marriage in confidence, there is nothing wrong. Even if he blabs to other people that is no reflection on me. My wife says I betrayed our marriage because I share and tell the truth about our sex life in confidence to a very good friend. I do have the tendency to just tell the truth to anyone, or I would say "I will not answer that, thank you" We as a people are the most sexually repressed in the world second only to maybe the Taliban. Maybe I am wrong but I see no wrong in speaking freely or sharing life's experiences. The ethics of our nation is to lie straight in the face. We have become a delusional people. It is perpetuated in all aspects of our lives. What is worse we make others lie for us. Telling your co-worker to lie for you so you don't have to talk to some one. Telling your child when someone calls, "tell them I am not home." Lying about why something is not done or why you did not go somewhere when you said you will be there. We will get back to you and they never do. It is easier to lie than to tell the truth for many. To lie is morally and intellectually wrong. Honesty is diminishing more every day. The worst in history over the last eight years. Fear is a major catalyst, fear has been so ingrained in the lives of the masses that it dictates you must lie to survive. Fear of getting fired, upsetting others, about being judged, not being accepted, just living. People do not realize it is fear that gives rise to the likes of Hitler or even W Bush. It was lies that made their people fear. Everyone lies including me, very very rarely. I try my best not to lie. I am brutally honest, but not brutal. I have no shame in telling the truth. It comes to being well cultured by my father, it comes from being fearless. What makes me this way is hard to explain but it hurts my soul to lie. I love people who are the same, no lying in them. People who think this way understand unconditional love, unconditional friendships, unconditional sharing, giving, helping, and just telling the truth. Many times my being, my honesty scares people or they presume I am a liar, too good to be true, or I am from another planet. Do not get me wrong, I am well liked by most, respected by all, appreciated by many. I have a very active social life and loads of friendships, many spanning decades. We must be more open with one another, more honest, and stop the culture of fear that perpetuates the culture of lies. A lie is the devil's favorite sin. It was the first sin in The Bible. Fear is also the devil's tool. If you fear you do not have God in your heart. I saw both my dad and my brother die when it was their time. They taught me how to die, and that is just how they lived. They were fearless and a great example to me.
