Whoopi Goldberg advocates for casual flings and non-monogamous relationships

False tweet claims Keanu Reeves refused to give Whoopi Goldberg an award

In a recent episode of The View, the panelists delved into the topic of narcissism and its correlation with being good in bed. Whoopi Goldberg made a surprising revelation during the discussion, stating that she doesn't particularly care about her partner's self-obsession when it comes to sexual encounters.

According to a New York Post article that sparked the conversation, narcissistic tendencies could impact a person's performance in the bedroom. While the panelists debated how long it would take to identify and weed out a narcissist before engaging in a sexual relationship, Goldberg casually expressed her indifference.

She nonchalantly remarked, 'Listen, a good hit-and-run is a good hit-and-run. 90 percent of the time, I'm not there for conversation.' Her co-moderator, Joy Behar, agreed and added her own twist to the discussion. Behar suggested that women often desire two types of partners—a narcissist for the thrilling intimate experiences and a reliable partner to handle practical tasks like taking out the garbage.

Goldberg even offered a solution for those who might be concerned about overly self-obsessed partners. She humorously suggested, 'You know, if you get an electronic partner, you don't have to worry about that. Because they're good when the batteries work, and they're not when the batteries are out.'

This is not the first instance where Whoopi Goldberg has shared her perspectives on relationships and sexuality. During a previous episode on polyamory, Goldberg encouraged her co-hosts to be open-minded about ethical non-monogamy. She humorously exclaimed, 'If you can do more than one thing at a time, you can have a polyamorous relationship. OK? If you can chew gum and walk, you can do more than one person.'

Her fellow panelist, Sunny Hostin, jokingly insinuated that Goldberg was speaking from personal experience. To that, Goldberg confidently responded, 'If I seem like that, it's because I'm good like that.'

In a 2019 interview with Tamron Hall, Goldberg expressed her contentment with living a single life. Referring to her three previous marriages, she stated, 'When you make a commitment to someone else, it's a commitment to ask their opinion and listen and work it out with them. I don't want to do that. I don't want to share money.'

Goldberg's candid and unapologetic attitude towards relationships, sexuality, and personal freedom continues to resonate with audiences. Her refreshing take on these topics challenges societal norms and encourages individual expression.

In the end, whether it's embracing a hit-and-run encounter or exploring the possibilities of polyamory, Goldberg reminds us to be true to ourselves and find happiness in whatever way feels right. After all, her words are a reminder that our unique desires and preferences shape our own journeys to satisfaction and contentment.
