| 0:00.0 | Hey deserving listeners, recently I was interviewed on the Sexology Podcast with Dr. Mowale |
| 0:08.2 | and I thought I would share that |
| 0:13.7 | interview with you here. She asked a lot of great questions about cheating and infidelity |
| 0:17.1 | that gave me a chance to yammer about that. So let's listen to that interview on the Sexology Podcast. |
| 0:26.0 | Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Sexology Podcast. |
| 0:31.0 | I am so excited to welcome Dr. Kirk Honda. Kirk, welcome to our show. |
| 0:37.4 | Thanks for having me. I am very excited about this conversation. |
| 0:49.0 | Infidelity, betrayal, it's one of those things that whenever we do a show about those topics, often we get tons of follow-up questions. |
| 0:52.0 | I think the last time we did that was a few years ago, I think |
| 0:55.8 | with Tammy Nelson and now it was like we were due to and not do another one. So I see a lot of people post a fair coming into my practice and I hear all the stories that people tell themselves |

| 1:37.8 | but when we are cheated on, |
| 1:41.3 | there can be sometimes a message given to us, particularly by the person that |
| 1:46.1 | cheated on us, but maybe even by people around us, maybe even by therapists, that we as the victim of the infidelity somehow caused it. |
| 1:57.0 | You know, might there be factors? You know, if my wife were to cheat on me, might it be useful for me to look into what I was doing that was making |
| 2:07.9 | the relationship not as strong as it could have been with her. But to be clear, I would not be to blame if she were to |
| 2:16.1 | cheat in the same way that if my wife were to abuse me or something, might there be a factor involved from my side yeah but I would not be to blame for the abuse just like if a child is bullied at school |
