On the eve of my mini-vacation, (more on that later), I’m reminded and confounded by the day-to-day interactions that can cause a variety of emotions. From laughter and joy to bitterness and resentment. I’m no angel, but I do strive to be positive and help others.
Before I divulge the details, and hopefully wonderful stories from my trip, here’s something that brought me balance–and hopefully you too.
This was just too good to pass up not posting.
Thank you to the kind folks at okcupid.com who have provided me with the following glimmer of hope after completing a survey they offer.
So there you have it. If you live in Alaska or Slovakia, please send me an eMail. I’ll be waiting at the airport terminal with the disgusted look on my face, clearly not dressed for cold weather.
I read an article from Mail Online and was quite disturbed by their “findings.” According to them, the desirable amount of time was surveyed to be between seven and thirteen minutes. What? I hope you share my confusion and disbelief.
I’m calling for a complete recount and I want to conduct it. Not really, I’m far too busy but still. Who are these people? My guess is that they’ve been having lousy sexy time for far too long.
Couples who think they’re not measuring up because so many celebrities boast about sex sessions that last all night can take some comfort.
Contrary to popular fantasy about the need for hours of passionate activity, sex therapists say around ten minutes is perfectly satisfactory.
In fact, shows such as Sex And The City and Desperate Housewives have created unrealistic expectations of bedroom performance that can only lead to disappointment.
Now, I’m no way trying to toot my own horn, but toot toot! Ten minutes? I’m sorry, I require much more than that. When I’m having sexy time I have a goal in mind, and that goal is a good time. A really good time. Ten minutes is barely enough to remember a person’s name or wonder if you have enough cash to pay them afterward. Maybe I’m I romanticize it more than most, but I’m more partial to forty-five minutes to an hour, if not more. There are things that need to be done.
I’m going to find comfort in the fact that the article was based on a survey in the UK, and not to perpetuate a stereotype but they aren’t known for being the best lovers, I’m just saying.
What has happened to society? I’m not about to dissect the multitude of issues we have, but I happened to stumble upon this gem from the 80’s and thought we could all use a little mood lightening.
I don’t want to incite jealousy, but even as a child I had the moves. (Just kidding. I was better.)
Now, I’m not advocating drug use, but…
