Uhhh, athlete husband, long cold dark nights, I think 5 kids would be sufficient evidence that the author is a moron.

The days of Sex and the City's influence are long gone. From Tina Fey's fake prude to Sarah Palin's real power play, here's why strong women just aren't that into having sex with you anymore. Brilliant, funny, and powerful women are retreating from sex as never before, and if you don't believe it, take the curious case of Liz Lemon. The most complicated and intelligent woman in television comedy barely ever has sex. She doesn't sit on laps, either — "not a lap sitter," she tells one handsome date she brings home in the first season. (He turns out to be her cousin.) She admits to losing her virginity at twenty-five and accidentally reveals that she doesn't believe people can have intercourse standing up. Liz Lemon's low libido is one of 30 Rock's running gags, like the writers' obsession with junk food or Jack Donaghy's use of words like "upward-revenue-stream dynamics." When Jenna asks about sex with her beeper-salesman boyfriend, Liz replies, "Fast and only on Saturdays — it's perfect." That line is a dagger in the heart of every thinking heterosexual man in America, and for Liz and the like-minded career women in The Women, He's Just Not That Into You, Sandra Bullock's latest, The Proposal, or just about any other chick flick of late, it's become achingly clear that sex is usually the last thing on their minds.
How did this happen? A mere decade ago, Seinfeld's Elaine Benes was hilarious, smart, familiar with Russian novelists, an aggressive and demanding professional, and a woman who fooled around a lot. The Sex and the City fantasia of fin de siècle Manhattan broke women's desires into separable components — status, career, money — but sooner or later every conversation between the four principals came back to who's doing what with

I have that effect on women.
In before the Helen Thomas photos.
Difficult when Lord Zero’s ecomomy has mad it hard to afford a decent date anymore......What you don’t like Soda Crackers and Vienna Sausages?? Want a RC Cola and Moon Pie instead?? SLAP!!! LMAO
I like this part:
“The teeth are all the same, the noses are all the same (except Diane von Furstenberg’s), the tits are all the same, and no doubt the pudenda are all shaved in the same pattern. “You have to figure out pretty quickly where you fit in,” Whitney tells us in an opening monologue, and for this striver, having a boyfriend and having sex with him are just other socially expected poses.”
parsy, who prefers his guitar to trying to figure out women
I couldn’t care less what that magazine for politically-correct urban males “Esquire” says about anything. I WAS hoping for some pictures, though. (Just not ones of Helen Thomas).
bttt
Odd ... haven’t noticed this at all.
Google is your friend.
That could be a new standard abbreviation:
IBHTP
Or more likely, she’s just not that into you.
Thank you, I always hate pointing out that the people in the magic box are pretending. Entertainment is a very imperfect reflection of reality.
LOL Parsy. I feel the same about my gear. Hey, at least my piano never told me it loved me and then screwed my friends.
they’re probably just building up to an end-of-season-five cliffhanger involving a cruise ship orgy....
Whatever happened to just getting to know each other in relationships then using that knowledge to make your partner happy?
From my observations, women’s various components outside of relationship can be filled if she and her husband both work at satisfying each other’s (not just physical) needs. I’ve met successful businesswomen who have successful work lives and successful family lives. They all seem to have good communication with their spouses and they mutually strive to compliment each other in all aspects of life.
ROFL! We should start a club!
Loose women are easily found—just find a Democrat. Leftwing women are known for being very loose, but that’s all they’re ultimately good for. It was actually consciously used as a leftist recruiting tool as far back as the late 19th century. When you go looking for a good woman to start a family with, find a conservative.
You think you have it bad? I'm in negotiations with the Pope to help convince more women to become nuns. :-(
"I asked the cab driver to take me to someplace where I could get some action....he drove me to my house." - Rodney Dangerfield
I dunno about “loose,” but Sarah did have five kids and near as I can tell there must have been sex involved in there somewhurs. As far as anxious liberal metrosexuals not gittin’ any, that’s their problem. Stealin’ yer girlfriend’s eye liner and mousse is a relationship-breaker, babalou. Trust me.
I don’t find it to be true.
Maybe it’s a metrosexual thing.
I just gotta ask, been there, done that?
“My wife cut me down to once a month. That is nothing. She cut out three other guys all together.” Rodney
lulz, agreed.
You are a pig!
women are retreating from sex as never before
who says? as a 50-something-year-old woman i feel more frisky than ever! just waiting for a guy who appreciates a savvy and passionate conservative as well as a roll in ze hay!
“Then she told me a little story about free milk and a cow and said ‘no huggin’, no kissin’ till I get a wedding vow!”
Sisters need to keep their legs together, imo.
After all, what man really wants to marry someone who’s been around the block?
JERRY: Are you saying...
GEORGE: (calls for a waitress) I think I'll have a piece of cake.
JERRY: With me?
ELAINE: Well...
JERRY: You faked with me?
ELAINE: Yeah.
JERRY: You faked with me?
ELAINE: Yeah.
JERRY: No.
ELAINE: Yeah.
JERRY: You faked it?
ELAINE: I faked it.
JERRY: That whole thing, the whole production, it was all an act?
ELAINE: Not bad huh?
JERRY: What about the breathing, the panting, the moaning, the screaming?
ELAINE: Fake, fake, fake, fake.
JERRY: I'm stunned, I'm shocked! How many times did you do this?
ELAINE: Uuuhm, all the time.
JERRY: All the time?!
bfl
Uhhh, athlete husband, long cold dark nights, I think 5 kids would be sufficient evidence that the author is a moron.
Husbands who are sexually satisfied have happy wives.
LOL. Well, I love my B-3 and I’m sure it loves me.
My wife, all we do is argue about sex and money, I mean she charges me too much. Rodney (RIP)
Totally agree with you...
But lemme tell ya - I’m a reasonably attractive woman living in NYC (don’t really have a choice, both due to my profession and due to my parents health situation)...and if I could find a guy who gave a damn that I’m one of those girls who wants to know, respect, support and love a man as a human being long long long before I’m willing to even think about fooling around with him, I’d be a happy girl.
But that doesn’t really happen in NYC, as there’s a vapid f!ckbunny around every corner willing to put out. So if this Esquire writer - whom I’m willing to bet lives in NYC or LA — can’t find loose women in these towns, it’s either because (1) he’s slept with them all already or (2) he’s the fugliest man alive.
And hey, if any NY single Freepers think I sound interesting, you know where I am...LOL.
Well, I ain't sayin', but I will say that her toenail polish doesn't offset my eyes at all.
Ummmm. What makes anyone think that the characters depicted in Hollyweird entertainments bear any relationship to the real world?
"My wife said she wanted to have sex in the back seat. I said GREAT! She said 'yeah but I want YOU to drive'".
I tell ya ..
I was coming home one night and saw a nude jogger. I asked him "Why are naked". He replied "Because you came home early" - Rodney
Totally agree with you as well...my cousin has a formula for this, but I don’t think it’s safe for FR publication!
How true. And they only make noise when you want them to. They never interrupt a television show. They don’t blame you for every problem they have ever had in their entire life. They don’t throw tantrums. They may “wail”, but they don’t whine.
parsy, who if not happy, at least isn’t miserable
Big deal. Marriage has been causing this for centuries.

"Well, we know Palin's daughters aren't retreating from sleeping around." |
As a 50ish guy, I found a woman with a similar attitude. No sex prior to marrige; but after- look out.
You know, in my entire life I've never had a gun with a headache or an unfaithful dog.
