Burb Juice- added on 06/09/2008 Problem: Bored In The Burbs. Solution: Have Sex, Constantly That was the conclusion of at least one couple, according to The NY Times. The married folks had recently moved from the city to Boulder Colorado and, trying to adjust, decided, hey, let's have sex, that used to be non-boring, right?; maybe even fun (at least before marriage and the kids and all the stresses of everyday life). So, they had sex -- committed to do it -- 101 straight days and wrote a book about it. And they're not alone. Another couple had sex apparently 365 days in a row. (Surprise. They wrote a book too. Did it happen, is it real, if you don't write a book about it?) This couple's goal wasn't to relieve suburban boredom as far as we can tell, but to relieve the boredom in their marriage. Did the sex marathons work? Both couples say, yes. (Of course, if they didn't, their chances of becoming guests on The View and Larry King might be diminished.) But are they on to something? To us -- and we like sex; we highly favor it -- it seems a bit ridiculous. Turning something hot, free-flowing, passionate into something wooden, compulsory. We like coffee ice cream with hot fudge a lot; but if somebody told us we had to eat it every night right after the kids went to bed, for 365 days, not sure how good it would taste when we got into the 3rd or 4th month. (Potato chips, pretzels, hell, broccoli anyone!) On the other hand, sometimes you do just have to act, get into new routines, in order to break through existing fossilized patterns. And it seems these two couples were having sex about as frequently as the solar eclipse, before their sex marathons. So, if it took a commitment to have it all the time to get back into something more normal, who are we to judge? From our point of view, it beats cleaning up the kitchen or watching another re-run of CSI (for the 30th time) or sitting on a sofa together and talking about...you know, what connected intimate partners in relationships talk about...stuff...the usual...stuff. markbecker ??Mon, 06/09/2008 ?? 11:06

Didnt these fools ever hear about Monopoly or scrabble? Yea, all about becoming - submitted by skepticcity on 06/09/2008
Yea, all about becoming famous, making money. Pathetic they had to write books and go on talk shows. Makes it all seem contrived. Plus now seems like they;'ve fallen back into their old habits with sex once in a while. Your story about sex - submitted by armin1us on 06/10/2008
There's one problem: You have to find a partner to do it with. According to studies recently published, as soon as women are in a secure relationship, their interest in sex drops dramatically - unless their man is too busy to do it, then they complain. Of course, there are exceptions, fortunately. But they are rare. It took me many years, to finally find a partner who enjoyed it, even after several months into the relationship. But, still, the joy didn't last much longer. Needless to say, I finally found a woman who wanted sex, because she was hoping to become pregnant. We ended up getting married. And, soon afterwards, she lost every interest in sex. After the divorce, I have been in a 100% sexless life for 11 years now. I'm so sad and frustrated, I don't even want to date anymore... because relationships have always only lasted a limited time, after which there were long periods of loneliness and frustration. I have found, that being alone for extended periods of time makes it a little easier to bear. So, love and sex for me are limited to memories of the past. Fortunately, there are other things in life, that make it interesting and fascinating. But, until the end of my life, I will miss love and sex very much. It's a big world - submitted by Anonymous on 06/10/2008
You know, it is a huge world. There are plenty of things to do. Do these guys have any hobbies or something? Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't or if they did, they aren't very occupying. Pick up a book, play World of Warcraft with your wife, something. Sex for 365 days strait does indeed sound fun, but so does eating Pizza for 365 days strait(To me anyways). Why - submitted by Web on 06/10/2008
Sex with the same person is sooooooooooooooo boring. I don't care if you are married or not, you have to be ugly, and retarded to enjoy sex with the same person everyday! Masturbate - submitted by Anonymous on 06/10/2008
I would rather masturbate everyday, 5 times a day, than to have sex with the same person for a year. Lots O Sex - submitted by Anonymous on 06/10/2008
Weren't there periods when they had to take a break for few days? Like once a month? Maybe I am missing something here. To the guy who gone without sex for 11 years. I seriously hope that I don't end up in that situation. I understand how you feel and I can see myself headed in that direction. Really hope that you are wrong and that there are many women out there who like have sex on a regular basis and that they are someone with whom I would like to have sex. Actually, I think that these women are dicovered by the male population very early and they get married young. At this point, I don't think that there are any women over 35 who are even worth dating.

My wife and I have been married for 9 years, together for 11. Don't knock this till you try it. It still works for us after 11 years, we have fallen back some though, when we first met we were doin'it 2 to 3 times a day. I am just sorry I didn't think to write a book about it.

I know a lot of sexless marriages. They're so depressing and suck the life out of you. I don't iknow about doing it everyday but if you don't keep at it you lose momentum and once you do that it's over. If you're not having sex for years you're not going to get it back. Its sad but true. Huh? - submitted by Rex on 06/10/2008
So sex everyday is "pathetic" and the people are "fools"? I am sure those of you on here lead such wonderful lives! Don't knock it until you havetried it and certainly don't be jealous they are profiting off of it...it isn't their fault you couldn't think of doing it first! love and sex - submitted by bfairchild on 06/10/2008
I have been married for almost 6 years and I must say that looking back over the life of our relationship, my husband and I were closest during the times we were having sex frequently. We have discussed it and we both believe that it has something to do with the close physical contact on a daily basis that does us both good. Anyway, just thought I'd give my 2 cents worth! Oh and neither of us is ugly or retarded Web, but thanks for the conclusion! sex all the time doesn't - submitted by KLenoard on 06/20/2008
sex all the time doesn't sound half bad. better than not at all and better than a stale, predictable relationship. good for them for trying someting, however outrageous or excessive it may seem  |
