A photograph of a beautiful model wearing fancy designer clothes ruins your entire day. Only passionate sex can save you from this infirmity. When a man tells his woman that she is the most beautiful lady on Earth, a woman usually stops thinking about several centimeters of fat on her waist or the fading elasticity of her skin. Psychologists say that it is much easier for a woman to learn how to love herself, if she has a man, who desires and worships her.

Why is this 'news' not in the joke section? Even then it's not funny.

American scientists concluded as a result of their research that couples, who love each other at least three times a week, look two or three years younger than their coevals, who either abstain from sex or hardly ever enjoy it.

Which begs the question. Why on earth are we discussing it, rather than just doing it? ;-)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't do it all day. The mind is willing, but the body is weak. So, if I can't do it, I might as well talk about it.

Don't they have pills for that now? ;)

I always knew it was great for me. How come so few other people seem to have realized how good sex is for human health and happiness? How could the Judeo-Christian ethic suppress such a wonder of life? It pushes me toward thinking many (most?) people must be very stupid, and I do not like that, since I try so hard to be an optimist about my fellow man's capabilities. Couldn't they tell this from simple introspection?

Once a day sex keeps the doctor away! Hell with those apples. Give me sex any day. Ah, but the rub: where to find a partner who enjoys sex once a day?

Sarah, I doubt that any competent physician would equate a 30-180 minute (depending on how tired I am and how many times that day I've already fucked) refractory period with erectile dysfunction. Chances are that if I told my physician that I wanted a pill that would let me get hard fifteen minutes after my last orgasm, he'd say, "You're not sixteen anymore. Deal with it." :)

Oh, and Charles? I know from experience that the sort of people who are blind to the joys of sex are those least likely to engage in introspection. They're also the least likely to be having good sex, as they do it in the dark with the curtains closed.

Good sex requires a bit of light. How else are you supposed to see what (and who) you're doing?

Speaking of Judeo-Christian suppression of sex, anyone been keeping up with the GTA: San Andreas game fiasco?

Rating Board changes "GTA: San Andreas" to Adults Only

Why did they change the rating to "Adults Only?" Was it because of the gratuitous violence? Nope. The promotion of theivery? Nope. It had *gasp* sex in it. Actually, the sex was only a hack in the game, it wasn't part of the offical game. But the game really should have adult only from the get go. Clinton's hubbub is just idiotic. And of course we wouldn't want parents to have to claim any responsibility for what their children do, so we need some legislation to keep the poor innocent kids safe.

Sarah,
Amy told me about this (Gta issue)... You ever hear of Fredrick Werthem and the senate hearing that lead to the comics code authority.

Essentially comics were starting to be successfully marketed to adults for the first time (ie EC's crime, horror and Sci-fi books) and then Werthem came along wrote a book about the latent homosexuality or Batman and Robin, and how murder mysteries warped young minds into the genuine article. He got congress involved and there were hearings that lead to the creation of the comics code authority.

The CCA created a large set of strict (and often arbitrary rules) including but not limited to, Crime was not allowed to be displayed in a story, god or the devil were not allowed to appear (even if to illustrate a moral point), drugs were not allowed to be discussed (even if only to illustrate their perils), and no one in law enforcement was ever allowed be shown as a less than exemplary example there-of. This lead to decades of some of the goofiest stories you will ever read and the creative throttling of an entire industry. It's only been coming out of it's dark ages in the last 2 or 3 decades (though to be honest in a lot of ways the damage has been done for a while and a lot of people in the field gave up on it ever moving forward).

I can only hope history doesn't repeat itself.

Landon,

While I have no clue who Amy is, good for her for spreading the news.

I find it hard to believe that such a thing could slow down the game industry, short of outright banning of games. I think I read that, in the entertainment scene, video games are ranked just below movies in how much money they bring in. Games already have an adult market since the people that were the first to have video games to play are now adults and many are still playing. Regardless, I agree that history repeating itself would be bad.

I agree it's not quite as likely now but thinking back to what I've seen of those hearings scares the crap out of me.

As to who Amy is... The word Fiancee gets to be too much of a mouthfull after a while so I'm just going to refer to her by her proper name from now on. It just doesn't roll off the tounge like girlfriend or wife. We've been together for about 5 years and she's been one of the biggest positive influences in my life (I never would've been brave enough to go back to working on comics without her). I could continue to gush but I think I've done enough of that for now.

She's wanting to get into the game industry herself so she stays informed about those issues.

On a side note if you ever see me referencing Einstein I'm probably relying heavily on her.
