I am not afraid of the idea of marriage. There is nothing I would like more in this world than to have a decent wife. However I know this is not likely to happen for me. So I am alone. But I thought the 12-36 times a year number was very interesting. I have a skewed perspective about sex because I was never married but had two long-term sɛҳuąƖ relationships with women between the ages of 21 and 25 (I converted at the age of 26) and we had more sex than greg's number. A lot more. Perhaps both of my girlfriends were nymphomaniacs or maybe all young people are like that. People often say that in marriages the amount of sex declines drastically with time and often after a while married couples have no sex at all. I heard one man tell an old parable about sex and marriage. Imagine you are married. For the first year of your marriage you put a jelly-bean in a jar after every time you have sex. And after the first year of your marriage you take a jelly bean out of the same jar after every time you have sex. Your jar of jelly beans, no matter how long you are married, will never be emptied
At 21 to 26 people have the drive and the time. It is all novel and exciting. Most people at that age coukd have sex every other day.
I very much doubt that many 70 year old married couples are at it 3 times a week.
The jokes are funny and make people laugh because people can relate to them. If most of the audience was having sex far more then they wouldnt laugh.
At 13- 21 I ran 30 to 100 miles per week. And ran 2.25:17 for the marathon and sub 30min for 10k on track. Now 30 years later I rarely run at all. Some people still run after all those years, most don't.
People are liars too; remember that. Lots of people lie to themselves. They think of their best month and multiply it by 12.
