To make certain that sex is 'good,' couples will watch videos, read books, attend lectures, and analyze their expertise to make sure each and every performance is of Academy Award quality. No doubt this quest for maximum pleasure has engendered much misery, frustration, and anger. I used to think that if sex was being given exaggerated importance, at least eating, which is another essential pleasant exercise, was something people could enjoy without extensive analysis and concentration. Even sitting down to enjoy a meal now requires some sort of preparation and effort. The proliferation of cooking programs on television worries me.
Eating is no longer simply for nourishment, any more than sex is for reproduction.
My thought exactly. I couldn't have said it better. Ominous things are looming when a guy can't have a good time by simply popping a Bud and watching his neighbor mow his lawn, can t make love to his wife without guaranteeing her a triple-orgasm in every position known to man, and must feel guilty for admitting that he thinks pot roast is a damn find meal.
