My husband never watches Oprah. But the other day he was gathering some stuff for our Disney trip and it was on in the bedroom. They were talking about health. Showing the insides of real organs, talking about taking care of yourself, explaining things you can do to prolong your existence. Apparently, the doctor said that to stay healthy you are supposed to have sex four times a week. I wouldn’t know cause I was out of the room at the time.

I swear to you that my husband was *beaming* when I came back into the room. He happily relayed this obviously meaningful information to me. Taking pride in educating me. Him twisting the information in a way that would make me feel that I would be doing him a huge life extending service if I was only putting out more often.

My thought when my husband told me this factoid: Obviously the good doctor doesn’t have young children.

Four.times.a.week?

Do people with children really have sex that often — regularly? I mean…sure there is the occasional week where he might get it that often if the planets are aligned right, I am dosed up on estrogen, he’s done a ton of chores without me asking, made me an awesome dinner and the DOW is over 11K. But do normal everyday folks have sex on average (that means some weeks even more then 4 times) a week? If so, don’t bother answering in my comments cause I don’t want to give my husband more begging ammunition.

Yee gads.

I told him that we focus on quality vs. quanity. He laughed, hugged me and breathy whispered in my ear: FOUR.

Just great. Now I’m hosed. He has facts and I can tell Im going to hear about this for awhile. Now every time he makes an advance he reminds me that denial means I’m shortening his lifespan.
