"And the January issue of Playboy has a startling article by the sex therapist Marty Klein on the sexual information being handed out by Oprah and her new Mini-Me (figuratively if not literally) Dr. Phil -- or as Letterman calls him, "the quack." Klein gives examples of Winfrey and Dr. Phil telling couples whose sex life has dried up that reticent partners are selfish if they don't force themselves to have sex with their spouses, and telling their viewers that women don't look at porn and that men who do -- or who have any sexual thoughts not involving their spouse -- are being unfaithful (which perhaps means that, to keep in line with her beliefs, Oprah should run a disclaimer before her show telling chubby chasers to switch the channel)."
