Attention married couples: HAVE SEX MORE OFTEN!

Some points I'd like to make:

The guy in the story was bitching that him and his wife only had sex 3 times a month.  HOLY FUCKING SHIT!  I've never had sex that often at any point in my life, more like 6-10 times a year when I was married.

Seriously, having sex that often is fucking awesome, if you ask me.

[AstralFire]

I knew when I saw this story you'd have something to say about it.

[CountArioch]

Hey, I'm just trying to put the word out.  Maybe if married people read that and decide to have sex more often, that will make the world a better place and count as positive karma for me.  No woman would ever have sex with me, but I could use positive karma.

[Ubernoob]

Note to self: Turn down less sex (AKA fake it until you make it).

[Meg]

I don't see what the big deal is for a couple to have sex every day.  They write a book about it?

*reads*

... Oooohhhh.... they were having sex with each other. 

Seriously though- I'm all for a lot of sex.  Like a lot a lot.  But there are days in the month that just aren't meant for it. 

[AfterCrescent]

Yup, ~24 days are good for it. those other 6-7 were designed for... yeah.

It is those days when I become a vampire.

As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight.

I take it you will not be asking Meg for any of her Boob-cards then?

[AstralFire]

I clearly meant that I don ray-ban shades and a trenchcoat and go out to LARP.

I have no idea what you are talking about.  There are plenty of women that chase.

What about our new national preoccupation, cougars?

Also, not everyone is preoccupied with breasts.  Some of us like vaginas. 

[CountArioch]

I understand Peaboo's rage though.  

But I will say this.  It will come off as callous and insensitive, but I don't know of any other way to express this:  Just because women aren't chasing you doesn't mean they don't chase anybody.

Take this from a guy that's in the same boat, but sometimes, it IS just you, not them.

[Peaboo]

I take it you will not be asking Meg for any of her Boob-cards then?

"Hey Meg, can I grab a boob card." is not a phrase I'd ever get to complete. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. That's what my wife would do to me the second I say "Hey Meg, can I grab a boob- FOOOOM!!!"

[CountArioch]

That's cool.  I've earned my Red Wings too.

Edit:  Just to let you know, I'm not challenging you.  To gross me out, it would literally take a tale so lurid and graphic that everyone would run screaming from their computer when they read it.

Did you actually mean that?

Possibly.

Did you clearly mean that?

...ok, seriously... whats the second thing that comes to mind when you say "sex" and "blood" in the same sentence, assuming that the first was rape?

I'm not so picky as to become preoccupied with either vaginas or boobs exclusively to other body parts.  Either way, if there is any reason for me to be perceived as emasculate it's because I'm the nice guy around these parts and, consequently, wind up with more girl friends than girlfriends.

Vampire LARP!

Disclaimer: I haven't LARPed ever. Unless playing pretend when I was 9 counts. And I really hate undead.

Wow, that must've sucked...

Peaboo doesn't need a boob card- he gets to be in their presence every week at our game night!  As does his wife

The part though that I like most about that article is that the more you have sex the more you want it.  So in general when people say they are fine with no or little sex, that's probably because they aren't getting a lot.  Those that are a bit more ... encouraging of more sex may just be used to it more often. 

The other huge thing to note is that a lot of times someone (usually the girl) may not be too into it when it first starts getting going, but play along and she'll have just as much fun as otherwise.  So the first reaction of "Not now, I don't feel like it" is crap.
