Sexual healing

I used to relish the challenge of being good in bed. I read the Kama Sutra with steely discipline, confident there wasn't a skill I couldn't master. Then I had a baby.

    Breaking News: New Mom Lacks Interest in Sex (and World Burns)

    (sigh)

    Possibly "The Onion" could've done something interesting with this?

    ~

    But you know what's annoying about this article? It starts here:

    When it comes to sex, I've always been an overachiever. From the moment I crossed "lose virginity" off a youthful to-do list like it was taking the SATs, I relished the challenge of being good in bed. In my adventures I've experienced earth-shaking lust and utter abandon.

    That is bragging. It can be summed up as:

    "I fucked a lot. A whole lot. Since the first time I felt like it. And it was just so good."

    So right there, you lost all of us who didn't get laid the first time we got the urge, and all the rest who never got the Big O when they did. Then the rest of the article can be boiled down to:

    "But after the baby, it sucked."

    Gee.

    You know what my sister did the second time? She adopted. So the kids don't match. So what?

    I wonder, do the women who write these whiny little ditties ever think about anything other than their own self-satisfaction?

    Reading Salon, one would never know we've got a Supreme Court going to the dogs, a brewing disaster in Israel/Palestine, an environmental nightmare --

    Wait!

    Oh, baby... Hold On!!

    Yeah, stroke it just like that. Just like that...

    (never mind)
