		<description>Yeah, I&#039;m with Steve. If everyone in the US stopped having sex, for years/ even forever? (Which yes, is impossible, BTW). Our population would still be increasing, due to immigration. Even with just illegal immigration, we&#039;d still be growing. 

Be that as it may, I&#039;ll agree on the skinny jeans bit on the narcissistic tendencies there, (although I still think the survey is biased). But clicking though to read the blurb on the Psychology Today/ Males study? I really don&#039;t see why there&#039;s too many women in the US that would not want to cheer those results. No really. They sound, well very Un-apocalyptic indeed; and Adult, reasonable &amp; responsible too! And sorry, having &quot;a harmonious family life&quot; &amp; a &quot;Good relationship with partner/wife&quot; typically does precede &amp; [Gasp!] sometimes supersedes the prototypical &#039;satisfying sex life&#039;. Especially if you&#039;re married and/or partnered. Yes, I know that&#039;s really difficult for many to comprehend. But it&#039;s still true. Now folks who want to put their own sex life ahead of every other usual &#039;family consideration&#039;? Many are not long married for various reasons, and not just catering to their own selfish needs either. Sex is the glue in any relationship, true. But have you ever over glued something? Mostly? It does not work well at all. Not in models, chairs, tables or flooring. 

No, you can likely can never have &#039;too much sex&#039; as a singleton or even a young &#039;unencumbered&#039; couple. But once the kids and/or greater responsibilities come along? That situation often just takes care of itself. Sad but true, your responsibilities to the whole will often out weigh your immediate sexual gratification. That might be the very disappointing definition of &#039;married&#039; &amp; &#039;frustration&#039;, but as adults we try and learn to cope and adapt to the new reality. That&#039;s often at the foundation of a secure &amp; successful family life too.     

Yeah, I know, I&#039;m over thinking the problem. Me? I think everyone else is under thinking the problems too. And yeah, Kat, you&#039;re talking about Endocrine Disruptors:


www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/endocrine/index.cfm 

Of which BPA is one of the suspect agents, which is why you need to filter your water. www.berkeywater.com/

I do. I&#039;d mention that part about the rich, satisfying so &amp; so, but you&#039;d think I was talking about desert. As for accessories? Barry Hannah thought his guns were fine decorator accessories. Whom am I to question such an authority? Cheers, &#039;VJ&#039;</description>

		<description>Damn, what were you smoking when you wrote this? ;)

I, for one, will not be one of those women preferring skinny jeans over sex. Never.

@Dadshouse - I&#039;m sure yours is not a man purse but a satchel.

Jenni — thanks. Always happy to make someone smile. The world needs more of that, eh?</description>

		<description>Ha! This post made me smile. =)

I would have considered this an extreme possibility about 7-8 months ago.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;“he felt his cashew become a banana, and then a rippled yam, bursting with weight.”&lt;/i&gt;

Reads more like a healthy dinner than a sex scene.

BTW, I lost about 48 lbs about 2 years ago.  I cleaned out my closet and found an ancient pair of office pants I never thought I would wear again in my life.   Putting them on felt wonderful.

Still straight and looking though :)</description>
