ESPN’s Outside The Lines recently produced a piece on the sometimes borderless sexual compulsions of athletes that was highlighted by an unfailingly shocking and sad interview with former NBA and Kentucky basketball player Winston Bennett.
Bennett said of his uncontrollable sexual compulsion:
“Three or four women in one day was typical for me. It was like a drug. I had to have more.”
That’s different women in one day.
Bennett later confirmed in the interview that before he was married, he did indeed have sex with upwards of 90 different women per month. After he got married, Bennett said the number of women per month was “half” his previous pace.
Though Bennett said he was faithful to his wife Peggy for “exactly one day,” the two are still somehow together after 20 years. Even after Bennett admitted “dozens” of affairs to her and gave her two sexually-transmitted diseases. (Bennett said he “never” wore a condom.)
Bennett’s wife Peggy said that at one point she contemplated suicide after her husband was fired from the Celtics as an assistant coach for having sex with a woman at the team’s practice facility.
But it’s far from a happy ending. Bennett at the end of the interview inexplicably said he’d leave his wife if she cheated on him once.
Peggy Bennett’s reax: “Does that hurt me as a woman who has shown so much grace and forgiveness? Yes. Absolutely.”
So that’s two addictions for Bennett. Sex and being an a-hole.

unfortunately or fortunately women seem to not care about attractiveness when a dudes got a little cash.
Sounds like he was pulling a lot of hookers too

And he was asked if his wife were to cheat on him just once,would he leave her? He said yes…how could you leave her after you forgave you every damn time you cheated on her with hundreds of different women. What a fucking asshole.

Talk about playing Russian roulette with not only your life but the life of your wife… unbelievable! And call me a skeptic but I am not buying the whole “found religion” nonsense. A lot of freak-a-zoids like Bennett have claimed to have found religion while continuing to bang every big butt with a smile that walks by. Good luck Peggy Bennett, you’ve got a winner on your hands.

I seriously doubt those numbers are right. If he did bang that many women then they must have been ugly and nasty. His wife is either retarded or a gold digger staying with him for his money. First STD you got, shame on him. Second STD you got, shame on you. Sounds like they deserve each other.
