Sex Marathon

19
vote
     
     

There are many jokes about sex in marriage, usually with the punchline of "it's an oxymoron", especially if there the couple has children...who has the time and energy anymore?!

Well, these couples found both, apparently, and wrote about their experiences!

Would you, and your partner, engage in what these couples did: a sex marathon? They were so tired of not having sex, that they decided to have sex EVERY DAY for a year!

Sex and the City: Progressive or Unhealthy?

Okay, sorry to jump on the bandwagon here, but I am so curious!

I went to the movies today with my mom (it is her birthday!), and there was the longest line I had ever seen for the Sex and the City movie! The audience was primarily young women.

I have seen the TV shows, and do find them entertaining, sometimes even thought-provoking. I became disappointed when the focus narrowed to what they are wearing and what club they are getting into, rather than the relationships themselves (but, I "get" that as part of the show).
