SEX, Excuses & The VOLS

Or lack thereof.

 As I usually do on Friday afternoons here in the office, when it’s quiet and nobody’s around to ask me anything and the UPS guy has come and gone….. I’m surfing the Internetz.

I came across this link that made me say BULL SHIT.  Double BULL SHIT even.

Those of you who ain’t into clickin linkies, I’ll tell ya what it said.

It said (and I quote) “Married Women Hate Sex”.

*blink*

They do?   I can’t hardly believe that as I am a lover of sex.  And I am married.   That said, I have to admit, my marriage is pretty much sex-less.  Which sucks.  And is not by choice or of my doing.

Anyway, enough of my normal tanget about not getting any… here’s what the “survey” found….

50% of women find sex either depressing, embarrassing or a hassle: We also found out that although 77% of the women claim their sex life is somewhat to very important to them, 54% of married women admit they’re the ones who don’t want to have sex.

Huh?  Sex, depressing?  How the hell can it be depressing if you’re gettin some??  I mean really, I’d take mediocre sex over no sex.

What would women rather do than have sex?
• 24% would rather take a bubble bath.
• 26% would rather read a book.

Come again?  Ok, ok.  I’d rather take a bubble bath if it means I’m gonna get some under the bubbles. But read a book?  Oh hell no.  I can read my romance novels before hand to get my bosom heaving in anticipation of his throbbing manhood.

Also, according to our survey:
• 23% of the women who have sex do it because they love their husbands and want to make him happy.
• 49% of the women have sex because they want it.
• 26% of the women surveyed say their sex lives took a turn for the worst after they had children.

Now, I’ll admit it.  When my kiddies were young and apt to run into the room unannounced, it may have been a slight turn-off.  But, I have never been one to hit it because it makes just him happy, at least that was the situation with the ex. 

According to statistics, living in a sexless marriage is VERY common; however, for some reason, it is still one of the most taboo subjects around.

Taboo my ass.  I bitch, fuss and moan all the time.  I started reading some of this crap I found on the internetz.  I found some interesting facts.

* A sexless marriage is one in which a couple has sex less than 10 times per year.  Yikes.

*A 2003 Newsweek magazine study concluded that between 15% and 20% of couples fall into this category. That’s enough for experts to label it an epidemic.

I’m curious.  I want to know if one lives in a sexless marriage, why one lives that way.  I want to know what it is that keeps folks in a sexless marriage.   Does solo sex get boring?  Does it make one more pissed off?

AND on a lighter more happy note…

UT is playing UAB this week.  All I gots to say is that if the VOLS lose, I’ll have to change the color polish on my toes before I go back to the office down there.  I can’t be sportin’ orange toe nails if they kick the shit out of us..
