Lucy Meadmore: Like a Virgin...
Ladies, Would You Forego Sex For the Perfect Bikini Body?
A depressing new study that depressingly found that 63 percent of married women would rather get extra sleep or catch up on their reading than have sex with their husbands may also have depressingly pinpointed why: Less than half of women surveyed say they married the best sex of their lives.Only 48 percent of married women say the guy they locked it down with is the guy who brought it the best in the sack. The data comes from a survey conducted for iVillage by Insight Express. Over 2,000 bored but satisfied women responded.
Maybe the old truism that the best sex is sex with somebody you love isn't true -- maybe the best sex is actually with that Venetian guy you met and had sex with on a roof garden while backpacking through Italy and never saw again.
More likely, it's because the majority (81 percent!!!) of women in the survey say their sex lives are predictable, based on location, position, time of day, duration, and foreplay ... Which is why it's not surprising that 62 percent of them said they fantasized about having sex with somebody else. Well, if somebody's going to be halfheartedly plugging away at you in the mish posish, it's no surprise when a young woman's fancy turns to thoughts of George Clooney.

Wow, I think you need to read the study again and take a course on critical reasoning. I don't think it made any of the claims you think it did. Wow.

You are absolutely right, Wowow--whoever wrote the piece above did not pay much attention to the original article.
In fact, where the writer above, Emerald Catron, states that, "48 percent of married women say the guy they locked it down with isn't the guy who brought it the best in the sack," the original article stated EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE! Come on, Emerald, learn to read and then learn to report the figures correctly.

Karl Lagerfeld said the same thing or something similar regarding sex being best with someone you're not in love with.

Familiarity breeds boredom. And routine makes life dull. So, perhaps those women should teach their husbands one thing or two about how to please them. I am sure in this area men are more than willing to acquire more knowledge, and: practice makes perfect :-).

Maybe this is why we shouldn't have sex until marriage. If we've never been with anyone else, we will always think the person we are married to is the best =]

Sure Leslie. I have an even better idea: If you don't have sex you never have to worry about being disappointed or bored! You could also try reading the article.
"Perhaps that's because sex is not a priority when it comes to personal time. Today's married women lead such busy lives that they consider rest and relaxation a better self indulgence."
Interesting that while 48% said that they married the best sex of their life only 32% are "extremely or very happy." Guess that means even if you have sex with only the person you marry (default state 'best' according to you, right?) there's no guarantee you will be happy.
Shucks, I guess.

What's really interesting is that even though 48% say that they married the best sex of their life, only 32% are "extremely or very happy" with their sex life. I guess that means even if you only have sex with the person you marry (default state 'best' according to you, right?) there's no guarantee you'll be perfectly happy.
Shucks, I guess.
