Non-Monogamous and Large Age Different Relationships!

The prime example of this is Hugh Hefner. He is now 86 years old and always has multiple women that he is in meaningful (and by that I mean sexual) relationship's with. All of these women are also many generations younger than him. The picture at the right is the batch of women that he had when I first came know good ole Hef. Now I am not opposed to age differences in relationships because I have been in a relationship with my hubby who is 28 years older than I. We have children and it has been working for the past 6 years so I know that though large age differences in relationships is often frowned upon in our society it really is all up to the individuals to make it work. But I think it's more of a gross factor unless we are dealing with a child and adult and that is unacceptable. If both people in the relationship are of age to consent to such a relationship than I don't think our society pays to much attention to the relationship. I think our society's attention is peaked when one person has multiple meaningful relationships at the same time. Our society frowns upon the person having more than one partner at a time. Course that never stopped good ole Hef either. He doesn't appear to have a care in the world what people think of him however many people have shared their opinion. I just can't imagine how these relationship works and how there never appear to be any fighting amongst his girls. I also don't understand why these women would subject themselves to such a relationship. Do they need more self esteem? More confidence in themselves? Do they have a missing daddy issue? I just don't understand what these women are thinking to think that they need to subject themselves to this kind of a relationship unless perhaps they are just doing it for there 15 minutes of fame.

Homesexual Relationships in the Spotlight!

There are a few openly gay couples in the Hollywood scene, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Jane Lynch and Dr. Lara Embry. They are clearly in love and OK with who they are but it took our society far to long to accept them in the homosexual society. Many in our society still don't recognize those relationships as true relationships. I think that is really sad because homosexual couples or single people can have all the same experiences as a heterosexual person or couple. Sure the genders in the relationships are different than a traditional relationship but they are capable of the same as everyone else and there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to get married and have benefits cover their partner or spouse. As you can see none

of these things stopped Neil and David. They aren't married yet but decided to start a family. However it is much easier for the couple's and single people in Hollywood because they have been watched by the public and their lives are completely public so there is not question if they can provide for the child. I do believe that people don't just throw kids at them but I think it is just a little easier for them because of who they are. However with being public I know there are also people who don't think the world of you and then to add homosexuality to it is probably a double wammy. They probably get twice as much hate mail than a heterosexual actor or actress. So after all this I think it's equal parts simple and hard to be a homosexual in Hollywood, but in certain aspects I think it's easier, like the finances, and most couples live in states that recognize same sex relationships. Many non-Hollywood homosexuals go to the states that honor same sex marriage's to get married but when they return to their home states it's not longer recognized. However if two heterosexual people get married in one state and enter into another that relationship is still recognized. This is a serious problem and one that we need to rectify as soon as possible. Everyone deserves to live as they choose with no judgement!

Krazy Kardashian Relationship's!

The Whole Kardashian/Jenner Family.

I can't think of a family that has more traditional and non-traditional relationships then the Kardashian's. I would classify Bruce and Kris's relationship as traditional in today's society, they have been married at least once before and came into the marriage with children from those previous marriages. In today's society you hear about that often. I am a product of that myself. Then you have Kourtney and Scott who though they have children together are not married. Kim has had one of the worlds shortest marriages and there was no lack of media there. Even the Jenner sister's are not the traditional teens. They are working already and homeschooling. The only members of the family that have a traditionalish relationship is Klohe who is married and talking to her hubby Lamar about starting a family. However they seemed to be faced with a problem that troubles many in our society, infertility. They are having a hard time getting pregnant We also have Rob who is the only brother to the Kardashian's and half brother to the Jenner sister's. He has identity issues being surrounded by so many successful women.The reason I bring this up is because, well, the Kardashian family is one the most publicly displayed families in our current popular culture. They also portray the most different relationships within one family.

The sibling relationships also intrigue me. Kris and Bruce have one of the longest marriage's in Hollywood, yet they have one of the most dysfunctional family units I think. Every time I watch the show it seems like all the kids have divided themselves into the appropriate name, Kardashian's, Jenner's and Bruce's Jenner's (from his previous marriage, they kind of keep to themselves a little more). They to present themselves as a single family unit but you can just see the separation per family section, not to mention there is a significant age difference which not so coincidentally is also a big deal in out society.

The Kadshian/Jenner Ladies with Handsome little Mason!

Also I find it AWESOME that all of the Kardashian and the Jenner girls work and provide for themselves. They are all super successful women, the only thing that is worrisome to me is that they bank the majority of their advertising with their bodies. There is always a picture of them in form fitting or little clothing on there products. I also find it funny that two of the Kardashian sister's have a diet line but when you watch their show they don't even use it. I would think that if you really wanted to market it you would use it yourself. However this leads me to my next point these women are saying that they are comfortable with their bodies so why did they feel the need to create such a product?

Over all the theme of relationships in the Kardashian/Jenner family are very complex and complicated. Also very powerful and female dominated, however they make it work for the most part. The Jenner girls aren't really dating right now but Kris and Bruce have been going strong for over 20years and Klohe and Lamar have been for a few years and though Kourtney and Scott aren't married they have 2 children and have been together for years. All these women are setting a good example for Kim and the Jenner girls.
