Not really on-topic, but always amazed at how predictable we men are. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often actually. Could be a new approach for the Pentagon.
Police say on August 7, the man inserted a card into a cash machine in central Paris to withdraw money when two young women approached him and asked for money. The women waved a newspaper at the man in an attempt to distract him, but the technique didn’t work.

You gotta laugh at the Psycho Girlfriend episode (4 min) as she gets pregnant and her attitudes toward sex immediately change. Laugh-out-loud funny until you start crying. Note: some not unexpected salty language given the subject matter.
I would like to hear from moms with newborns (as well as moms with older children, for comparison) about how they feel or felt about sex for the first year or two after childbirth.
…Did you realize that couples who have sex less than 10 times a year are considered to be in “sexless marriages” (which would mean many postpartum couples are indeed in sexless marriages)? If you find yourself with a baby and little or no sexual desire, when (if ever) would you seek help? … Moms with older children are invited to weigh in with their wisdom/experiences, particularly if they experienced a sexual lull but have managed to overcome it.
…Otherwise, all involved continue to have different expectations of what is “normal” for other couples in their evolution from adolescents to adults to parents.
Ed Young challenged husbands and wives among his flock of 20,000 to strengthen their unions through Seven Days of Sex, his advice was — keep it going. … Young, an author, a television host and the pastor of the evangelical Fellowship Church, issued his call for a week of “congregational copulation” among married couples on Nov. 16, while pacing in front of a large bed. Sometimes he reclined on the paisley coverlet while flipping through a Bible, emphasizing his point that it is time for the church to put God back in the bed.
She suggests reading such recent books as 365 Nights and Just Do It , both books on couples who made planned effort to have sex every day for an extended length of time. … First of all, it’s coming from a “girl magazine,” so it might have more street cred than if you leave a copy of Men’s Health lying around so that she sees their promotion of every other day ejaculation for a healthy prostate. … Of course, the prize is a sweepstakes that will be won by some woman who has entered the contest without performing the requirements, but you don’t have to tell her that.
There is so little time these days, that often, as parents, you end up watching a movie with your child rather than pre-screening it to make sure it’s right. … While the plot idea seems like it would be cute: early middle-age man tells ten year old daughter how he met her mother and fell in love, their conversations are way too frank both for the main child character and for a little girl my daughter’s age. … My daughter knows what these words mean, but I don’t think she’s yet heard them in this context, and I certainly didn’t want her to hear about them in this movie.
Perhaps, as Lori Jakiela writes in this “Modern Love” column, the purchase of such a chair can bring excitement into the sex life of middle-age parents…. [From The Plain, Unmarked Box Arrived - New York Times ] This is an astonishing, and funny read, if only for the insights into other peoples’ parental lives as they struggle to do what all of us do: shoehorn in moments of intimacy (sexual or otherwise) between bathing, feeding, and getting them to stay put in their little beds.
And I’m sure they’re laughing at us. It might be about fatigue from work or from cleaning, wiping, and feeding, but even sex-wild couples find themselves falling asleep in the run-up to sex after babies. That’s why smart sex-starved dads know there is no such thing as “let me just lie down with the kids a few minutes,” or “after we watch this one show,” or “just let me finish this one chapter in my book.”
Mens’ Health summarizes a bunch of stats that show why having some sex this week isn’t just a “guy thing,” but something you need to keep you in all around good shape.
…Of course, most of this doesn’t actually require a helper, but we’re just saying, it wouldn’t be such a bad habit to regain, for your health, of course.
