The economy sucks right now and like most households, my household is dealing with the financial burden of a lay off. Though we can pay all of our bills, we really cannot do much else. I am currently the only one working right now, and knowing that adds a whole new level of tension to the mix. Traffic slowly drains the life out of me every morning and evening. Once I return home, there are countless errands to run, food to cook, messes to clean, blogs to write, it doesn’t end!
After a particularly bad week, my husband and I found ourselves alone and for once, not doing anything. Not because there was nothing to do, but because to continue at the rate we were going would cause us to lose our minds. We
were both slouched on the couch and looked like we had just driven through hell in a car without air conditioning. There were still things to be done- bills to pay, a lawn to mow- but as we looked at each other, we realized that one essential task was missing from our long list of shit to do. We had left out sex. Needless to say, we ripped each others’ clothes off and had the most fabulous sex only reserved for romance novels. But, the point I am trying to make is no matter how horrible your life seems to be, take the time tohave sex. It may allow you to escape for only a few minutes, but at least you escaped. At least you could forget all of your responsibilities to everyone else and could focus on your own pleasure. The shit hole we call life will still be there once your eyes have returned from the back of your head, you catch your breath, and your legs stop shaking. After you practice your horizontal tango, you can go back to doing the things that make you miserable. There is nothing like a good screw to bring a ray of sunshine into the drudgery of your day.
