totally NER: sex for 101 days in a row.
SO, I just finished reading this book:
it's a couple - - there in the 40-year-old range, have kids, been together 14 years, yadda, yadda, yadda...
and they decided to have sex every day for 100 days (then, they did it on day 101, too!)
it was fascinating: not the sex part, but what it did to increase emotional intimacy in their marriage... you know - - people get busy, and you run out of time and energy and sex becomes an afterthought... this project - 'the marathon' - - put sex back in the forefront.
would you ever?
does this sound like a bad idea, or something worthwhile?
does 101 days seem like a really long time, or no problemo?
The Girl is 5. The Boy is 2. The Dog is 1.
I am the 99%.

Re: totally NER: sex for 101 days in a row.
what about the AF days?
they didn't say definitely, but there was the implication that she went on the pill that makes you only have 4 periods a year...
I am the 99%.
ask away!
I am the 99%.
what if you get the flu? Diarrhea?
have I grossed you out yet? lol
I think that's the whole point.
They did some big fancy get a hotel room marathons of sex... they also did some quickies in their basement. The whole point I got from the book was that if you want to, you can find the time... and the energy takes care of itself.
The hardest parts for them seemed to be when they were sick (the H had a bout of food poisoning at one point) and when they had a fight.
I am the 99%.
...his doctor recommended he drink orange juice every day to make his chemistry more girl friendly.
Nice hint!
I am the 99%.
on some days, I think they'd say that the answer is "yes" - - but almost invariably, it was the getting-to-the-sex part that was the chore. Once they got 'fired up and ready to go' they were into it... and enjoyed it more often than not.
I am the 99%.
I love that part!
one thing they did before they started was define what they meant by "sex"
for them, it was penetration... they actually referred to it as "Bill Clinton's definition" of sex!
so, oral and hands don't count... but there was no requirement of orgasm on either side.
I am the 99%.
I've never had a UTI, so maybe wasn't an issue. Some people are prone to them, and some aren't.
I would think it might make sex a chore. I won't lie; I like sex. But I haven't actually felt the desire to have sex every day since I was like 21. It never seems like a bad idea if DH wants to do it and I wasn't necessarily thinking of it, but some days I wouldn't think of it on my own.
... but there was no requirement of orgasm on either side.
Definitely a chore then.
So what happened on the 102 day? And what do they do today? If they have not maintained the everyday schedule, what was their point and what did they acheieve (such that said achievements must be chornicled in a book?).
They sound like AWs, IMO.
I think I would give it a whirl. Maybe not say EVERY day, but maybe more like, unless we have a really good excuse (illness, AF, etc.) then we HAD to do it.
I think the BNOTB board did a 1 month marathon on their baord. lol.
F**k. nevermind then!!!
I wonder how many of them lied about it.
Oh yeah, being at a family member's house is like the anti-boner. No way.
I agree with LMW. AWs.
From Amazon:
In a long-winded tome that would have made a much better article, Brown faithfully recounts the trials and tribulations of sticking to a 101-day schedule of once-a-day sex with his wife of 14 years. Work, two young children, illness and other distractions loom, but the couple bravely soldier on.
****
Me: This doesn't sound like a sexy reccomendation of their plan. They make it sound like the battle of Gettysburg.
Evidently an O is not even required in this scenario, lol.
shoot, I have been looking forward to not having my belly in the way.
I would be game for 101 days spread out through the year. It's nicer with a little break in between
