What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Couples reported having sex 82.7 times a year on average, or 1.6 times a week, about the same as in other studies.All that housework just to get laid once a week! Has anyone tried having sex instead of doing housework? Perhaps it is time we moved towards that model, for equality, and love?

I couldn't get laid in a Nevada brothel with a fistful of hundreds.

1.6 times a week? 1.6 times a day is more like it. Why do you think I am up at 3:30? We have been married for 16 years and that is one thing that hasn't slowed down at all. Maybe we are just pervs! LOL Carloz you do cum up with the best articles here on the Vine.

Maybe my romantic notions of marriage and monogamy are over rated.

After 3 years of marriage and one deployment, my husband and I sound like freaks compared to that article. We have always had a very healthy sex life, and see not future plans to change that. Although there might be something to the housework deal to as sometimes we do not finish the chores we start due to....amore!

Here is something that I will pass on to the youngens out there about marriage.. the first 2 years of my 37 years so far.. my wife and I use to role play.. I was young and very sly then.. if she wanted my check each week.. well.. ummm...
I always had other things to do than your average housework.. I worked on the house.. carpentry, electrical, plumbing..etc.. to maintain a 70 year old home.. which is now 107 or so years old.. The point is.. as long as your spouse feels comfortable with you doing the work around the house - painting..repairing the home..etc.. then they will see that you are working towards the same goal instead of sitting around doing video games, and typing on the computer...doing nothing in other words..

Must be because both husband and wife are working 2 jobs plus doing all those chores.
Or maybe its because the house is in foreclosure, the bedroom furniture got repossessed and the kids are flunking out of school.

I think that there is something wrong here. For many years we had great fun in the bedroom. Sometimes too much fun.
When my wife fell into severe depression, it all but ended. Not the end of the world.
I realized that having her as my wife was more important than sex.
Now, she has had septic shock and everything has changed.Sex is not an issue. She is. I am very happy to have her by my side. 36+ years of marriage makes sex less important and the person more important. Do I want more sex? YES! My wifes health is more important. I have my priorities. My wife!

You are very welcome.
At first, I thought you couldn't read. But, then I realized - I enjoy the doom and gloomers because if ever I feel my life sucks, I can just look to you to reaffirm that some people will never be happy and can find good in nothing.
So, no, thank you.

You've been listening to rush too much.
I am very happy - people like you are very amusing.
I find good in lots of things - the Bible for instance. Some other things:
The Fender Stratocaster. The Peavey Dyna-Bass. A really good riff.
Robert Johnson's 32-20 Blues. Muddy Waters Hoochie Choochie Man. The Sky is Crying by Elmore James. Both the Bo Diddley and Black Strobe versions of I'm a Man. Bankrobber by The Clash. Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen - especially his version in East Berlin. Fortunate Son by Creedence. Death Letter by both Son House and White Stripes. Working Class Hero by Marianne Faithful and Noir Désir with John Lennon's version coming in third.
There is beauty in a great many things.

THIS, THIS is going to make the man VERY unhappy because so far I do all the housework, gardening, and some of the repair/home improvements, work full time AND he still gets laid all the time? Well that shiat is grind to a halt right now. I'll make a deal by showing him one time how to use the washer and dryer and draw him a map to the dishwasher....its up to him.

Yah, I got a woman friend that has been married 30 yrs. and she has slaved away on the farm, cooked, raised kids while her husband spends most of his time on the couch. I asked her once why she has sex with her husband so much and not kick his a$$ out the good for nothing. She told me she likes to screw and she keeps him around for that. I raised my hand and volunteered to help her out.

Youngest son, "Man, Mom and Dad sure spend a lot of time doing Laundry together."

Jason,
It's like the couple that had a code word for making love, it was doing the wash.
One night she caught him pleasuring himself, and she asked; why didn't you ask to do the wash?
He said; I had a small load and did it by hand.
