Pro-life video of the day: Mom says Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte only has time for one-night stands
by LauraLoo
U.S. Olympic swimming competitor Ryan Lochte apparently is putting those complementary condoms to use. According to Ryan’s mom, Ike Lochte, he’s “all about the one-night stands.”
Also according to Ryan, during the 2008 Olympics that he competed in, he had a girlfriend and claimed that was a ”big mistake.”

Hey Ryan, are you emotional phobic? Are you bored looking at the same face for two or more nights in a row?
And what mother knows the depth and detail of her son’s sexual escapades?
Weird family.

Classy. Wonder if Ryan has any sisters?
I have 2 boys. I would be horrified if my sons thought so poorly of women that they only viewed them as semen receptacles instead of human beings with emotions and worth and dignity and a desire to be loved.
I would worry that my sons were putting themselves at risk for STDs which are on the rise. I would worry that grandchildren were being created and aborted.
I would feel sorrow that my sons were missing out on the very real joy of friendship and emotional connection with a woman.
I am not a prude. I am not anti-sex. I know my sons will one day be sexual beings. I hope my sons grow up and have lots of sex. With their wives.
You folks are so obsessed with the sex lives of others. Weird. And rather than semen receptacles women as incubators seems to be the signature belief of the pro-life movement.
Actually I kind of doubt that he even has time for that, especially when he’s in training. And most of those coaches actually forbid any regular boyfriends/girlfriends–it spoils your concentration.
What does marriage guarantee? My close friend William Hetherington languished in prison for 24 years because he was convicted of spousal rape. His wife Linda said he forced himself on her while they were separated.
It’s not uncommon for long married couples to drift into abstinence. Al Bundy has many real-life counterparts.
As long as America is obsessed with sports, and girls are willing to be used, this kind of behavior will keep going.
How classy is it to comment on your son’s sex life- unless maybe she was trying to make him look like an emotionally stunted horndog? If any of my sons treated women with such little respect, publicly and over time, you bet I’d call then out on it. Creeps are creeps.
Denise Noe, seriously, your repeated attempts to apply singular anacdotes as evidence is really annoying. No, it isn’t common for long term married couples to drift towards abstinence, unless you are refering to the natural decline in sexual desire both sexes have with age. An 80 year old (wo)man is far more likely to be sexually abstinent than a 25 year old, but the only thing that has to do with marriage is that a male is far more likely to actually reach 80 if he is married than if he is single. Statistically speaking married people have *more* sex than unmarried people. And sex is part of a healthy marriage, it is extremly rare to have a ‘long term’ marriage that is asexual.
I’m sorry your friend was wrongfully convicted of spousal rape, that is horrendously rare. It is almost impossible for prosecuters to get a conviction on spousal rape and far, far more men (and women) get away with it than get convicted. A wrongful conviction on spousal rape is as rare as a white whale. Which isn’t saying I doubt your story, but it is pointing out how ludicris it is to use *one* instance of a bitter spouse to extrapolate that a married man isn’t going to ‘get any’ just because he’s married. Married people ruetinely have sex, it’s a fact of daily life and always has been.
So sad, What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul.
This young man has everything to lose. We should pray for him and his family.

OK, first of all, Crystal Marie is advertising her “chest enhancement” a bit too much; it is, however, one way to introduce a tantalizing titbit (oops, sorry) tidbit about this young man. I wonder if the media would glorify a female Olympic athlete the same way, with the same bouncy, happy attitude describing her one-night stands. It’s all TMI for me and reflects poorly on mom and son (not to mention our country). Let’s make the sex act as common as brushing your teeth *sigh* … It’s been shown that women do NOT see it that way. How could you NOT feel used?!
There are two basic views of sex. Either it’s supposed to be a tension-relieving recreational activity just a little higher on the list than doing crossword puzzles, or it’s a family-relationship reaffirmation on a whole other plane than “activities”.
Clearly the Olympians and most others are only expected to “live down” to that first view. I wonder if he calls his mom by her first name. She sounds more like a bar buddy than a mother.
YUCK…glad that Phelps beat him.
I think mom just did all self respecting girls a huge favor. :)
Good luck Ryan. Hope you hit adulthood soon.
What do you expect – listen to how his mother spoke of him!!! What is motivating him to be a “gentleman”?… not his mother and what she said. Now *that* is classy ::eye roll::
@Carla, do you think he’ll even hit “adulthood”? It’s a sad commentary on his upbringing. If Mom’s attitude toward having sex is so cavalier, what other attitudes did she share with him that continue to stunt his emotional growth?
Eh, this former slut just hopes that everyone is consenting and knows what they are getting into with him. I don’t care if people sleep around, but I do think it’s skeezy to lie about intentions or spread diseases, hope that isn’t happening. I don’t get this urge of famous people (and their parents apparently?) to discuss their personal lives constantly. Don’t they get enough stalking/paparazzi and all that?
”There are two basic views of sex. Either it’s supposed to be a tension-relieving recreational activity just a little higher on the list than doing crossword puzzles, or it’s a family-relationship reaffirmation on a whole other plane than “activities”.”
See, I view sex as the former. I don’t think it’s a terrible view as long as you realize that the consequences of promiscuity are likely to be more life-changing than wanton crossword solving.
Oh JackBorsch,
What you’re missing.
A lot, I have been told. Lol.
@Jack, if you polled the women who are enjoying this “tension-relieving recreational activity” with you, I wonder what they’d say about the physical and emotional consequences of this promiscuity.
Regarding people, not just famous people, discussing their intimate lives: our culture’s attitude toward privacy is schizophrenic. Although “privacy” is not mentioned in the US Constitution, it was stretched in Roe v. Wade to permit girls and women to terminate pregnancies before viability. OTOH, people give up their privacy routinely for 15 minutes of fame.
Get them addicted to one nighters while they are young and impulsive by giving ’em free condoms.
Some night they won’t have a condom along or it will break/slip, etc. – this will increase the chance of STDs and pregnancies.
They don’t want any relationship with the one night stands other than sex and definitely don’t want to parent (because they are so busy you know). Do you think these guys would be the type to then coerce abortion?
You folks are so obsessed with the sex lives of others.
You spend more time here than most prolifers. So you are obsessed with those who are obsessed with the sex lives of others. Got it.
“@Jack, if you polled the women who are enjoying this “tension-relieving recreational activity” with you, I wonder what they’d say about the physical and emotional consequences of this promiscuity.”
What women? My ex wife or the exactly zero women I have slept with since my ex and I got together when we were eighteen? Lol, don’t assume things about me. I was a total whore as a teenager, it’s not exactly my proudest moment but eh, people do grow up. I find this attitude that women don’t ever enjoy just casual sex unlikely to be completely true, btw, though it’s probably true for many women.
“They don’t want any relationship with the one night stands other than sex and definitely don’t want to parent (because they are so busy you know). Do you think these guys would be the type to then coerce abortion?”
See that’s just an assumption too far, in my opinion. Not all guys who are skanking it up are pro-choice at all, and even if they are, they aren’t necessarily the type of guy to coerce an abortion on someone. I do agree it is probably more likely to be more of those types of d-bags in the slutty male contingent than the type of guys who would rather be in a relationship. But not all of them are like that.
Jack, I was talking about guys like Mr. Olympic swimmer who specifically state they only want one night stands, not girlfriends. I didn’t assume anything but rather asked a question.
Lol. Don’t assume things about me.
Lol didn’t mean to assume. I do think it’s more likely, but not all of them will be like that. I never would have dreamed of wanting someone to get an abortion, even when I was a terrible dude.

(Denise) My friend who is not an Olympic athlete but was popular with the ladies in his younger days told me that if he’d impregnated he was certain she would have aborted because “I would have made her life so miserable she would have had to abort just to get some peace.”
@ Jespren: A “singular anecdote” that made me extra-careful about not getting pregnant was told by a woman who opposed abortion being legalized (this was before Roe v. Wade). This woman told of a late saline abortion in New York in which the baby survived “with its skin burned and lived in screaming agony for hours.”
I’m not even 100% sure this happened. However, the legalizers did not say that it COULD NOT have happened. This anecdote bothered me so much that I was never reckless about getting pregnant.
Wow, not only does this have nothing at all to do with abortion, but I can’t believe how rude and judgmental everyone is! (Well, I can, but the extent of it is still surprising.)
Of course it’s a little weird for his mom to be talking about that at all, and he’s certainly not the brightest bulb in the box, but before you make nasty assumptions about someone, don’t you think you should do just a *little* more research? Check out number three in this article: http://espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=ryanvsryan .
@Praxedes, there are several survivors of late saline abortions:

I love the work that Jill Stanek does and I’ve been following this blog for some time. But when I see posts like this; I’m disappointed. My problem with this post in particular is how derogatory it comes off. I haven’t been following this story that closely so I don’t know what Mr. Lochte actually does or doesn’t do in his spare time. If he does have a lot of one-night stands then that’s wrong; plain and simple. I’m not arguing against that. However, I think an opportunity to open up a respectful dialogue about this topic and the tragic consequences of the “one-night stand culture” has been lost. Instead it’s been reduced to sarcastic and judgmental comments about Ryan Lochte and his family.
I’m not looking to start a debate with anyone here. This is just my opinion.
@Voltaire: So if his family was always there to love and support him, and filled his life with so much love,why on earth is he currently having sex with various and sundry women? That will make him a good father?! Obviously his dad wasn’t doing that … or maybe he was, and that’s why the divorce. I still see no excuse for Ryan to use women as he does.
@Jack, glad to hear you are not acting on your current view of sex. That’s good news!
First Voltaire says this about comments here: I can’t believe how rude and judgmental everyone is!
Then he says: he’s certainly not the brightest bulb in the box
I think it’s time to take my shades off.
From Voltaire’s link: “I’m afraid of being a bad father,” Lochte says. “That would be terrifying if I wasn’t able to support my kids and give them everything they want.”
“Give them everything they want” ?!?!
Yikes. This philosophy seems to extend to his own wants … No, Ryan, it would be terrifying if you gave them everything they want, or if you permitted yourself everything you want, or if your mom thought it swell that you have everyone you want, or … Well, that his parents divorced and so on, makes it “understandable” in the empathy-inducing sense, but not acceptable. And Voltaire and EJ, calling out this behavior as unacceptable, without devaluing him as a person, is not wrong. Talking about it is how we counteract a culture where a mom can nonchalantly mention how her son has sex with random gals and no one (else) seems to bat an eye.
“I have 2 boys. I would be horrified if my sons thought so poorly of women that they only viewed them as semen receptacles instead of human beings with emotions and worth and dignity and a desire to be loved. ”
Stuff like that, I think, is what people are thinking is judgmental and devaluing as a person. Even as a slut I never thought about women like that. Just because someone is doing some behavior you believe is wrong doesn’t mean that it’s correct to claim that they think things that you don’t know that they think. Just a thought.
Because the worst thing you can be in this world is judgmental.
No, the worst thing you can be in the world is unforgiven. Sin is wrong. I am glad some people can see that.
You folks are so obsessed with the sex lives of others. Weird. And rather than semen receptacles women as incubators seems to be the signature belief of the pro-life movement.
CC, you raise a serious concern about women being exploited for their wombs. What do you think of American gay couples renting the wombs of poor uneducated Indian women?
This is not an anti-gay comment, but a serious concern for the women in India who may be mistreated by such a practice. Can a women sell her own womb? Do you think that is ethical?
Well, by channel-flipping I heard Greg Gutfeld on The Five and a mention on Pardon the Interruption saying that Ryan’s mother thought a “one-night stand” meant no more than a single date. If that’s so, I would apologize.
But…???
The record should be set straight here: According to this article from CNN, his mom’s quote is misunderstood: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/08/03/sport/olympics-lochte/index.html
“Still, the swimmer — whose mother, Ike Lochte, created a media hubbub recently when she said her son only had time for “one-night stands,” which he explained had to do with sporadic dates and not sexual flings….”I am young, but that’s not me,” Lochte said of one-night stands. “I like being in relationships. When I am in a relationship, I want to give (a woman) my entire heart,” he added. “And lately I haven’t been able to do that just because swimming has taken such a big role in my life.””
I don’t think it is fair to not print his side of the story, and it IS his life. It is spreading gossip I think even to have this blog post in the first place and it would be in better taste to post a retraction.
Well that would be a giant mistake in word choice, but believable. That makes a little bit of a difference, ya think?
“It is spreading gossip I think even to have this blog post in the first place and it would be in better taste to post a retraction.”
I am not sure if a direct quote from his mother is gossip, but the media surely does what it can to create a story.
I believe surrogate motherhood is troubling. For one thing, it bears more than a passing resemblance to adoption. As I’ve previously pointed out, adoption is rife with problems. This may be because the bond that forms in the womb is 2-way.
Ryan has also admitted to urinating in a pool.
“Ryan has also admitted to urinating in a pool.”
Is this a joke or something?

(Denise) No. Look it up on the Internet. He peed in a pool.
” Is this a joke or something?”
I don’t know if she meant it like that, but I did laugh.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ryan-lochte-admits-urinating-olympic-warm-pool-fans-153000717–oly.html
See? No joke, folks. But Jack, I could muster no more than a wan smile.
An adult man who pees in the pool but now says his mom misspoke when she talked of his one night stands.
I’m sure those $25,000 grills in his mouth are attractive to his “sporadic dates.”
Lol Hans, I can guarantee that your sense of humor is far more highbrow than mine.
If you call The Three Stooges, Benny Hill, and Monty Pyton highbrow, then yeah.
If you’ve read the updated information about his mother’s statement (which I read yesterday), it sounds as if she thought “one night stand” was a phrase that describes taking a girl on one date only. In her mind, it was nothing to do with sex; what she meant was that Ryan usually takes a girl on one or two dates, but feels it’s unfair to lead these women into thinking that he has more time to commit to a relationship than he actually does. So, get your facts straight, and don’t be so sarcastic and judgmental. This is inappropriate, off topic for this site, and could easily be classified as gossip.
“don’t be so sarcastic and judgmental”
Some people would suggest that your comment comes off a little judgmental.
Regarding being judgmental: I think it’s extremely ill-mannered to urinate in a swimming pool. You can call me “judgmental” but aren’t you being “judgmental” of me for having higher standards of conduct than many people?
Aren’t those who criticize others as “judgmental” being judgmental?
And a bit late. The comments already backtracked on this story.

His mother must be older than my grandma then because even she knows what a one night stand is. Grandma is 89.
Denise, I agree. Calling this boy/man ill-mannered is kind compared to the language I used when talking with my husband about him. Call me a Gossip Queen.
I don’t care what his mother “thinks”. He is using all of the allotted condoms given to him and is probably borrowing the left overs from the ping pong team!!! Play on player. A
Monty Python! I love it Hans. What’s your favorite stuff from Monty Python? Mine is The Meaning of Life.
“Yuck, glad that phelps beat him”
Hahaha, yeah cause phelps is a boyscout who never sleeps around. Wake up people, phelps and Lochte are probably competing with each other over who has bagged more girls as opposed to who swims faster.
Sorry, Jack. I thought I heard an annoying buzzing sound.
I like the Holy Grail. But the two standouts from the series were the “Ex-Parrot” sketch and the “Ministry of Silly Walks”.
At least she isn’t making up any phony Philippine abortion stories like Tim Tebow’s mother did.
“At least she isn’t making up any phony Philippine abortion stories like Tim Tebow’s mother did.” [Citation needed]
I agree with Grandma: there are only two known definitions of “one night stand:” One means sex and the other is a comedy gig of only one evening before moving on to another club or city.
Hans and Jack, I love the Parrot sketch, but when it comes to the interwebs, I am reminded of ”Is this the 5 minute argument or did you want the full 30?” When it comes to Planned Parenthood’s mythical mammograms and ficticious “healthcare” (and completely non-existent pre-natal care), I am reminded of the Cheese Sketch.
ninek,
And that fiction reminds me of, “Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam!…”
