WASHINGTON -- They say love is eternal - sex, not so much.
According to Euripedes, "He is not a lover who does not love forever."
Clearly the Greek playwright isn't talking about sex. At least not around here.
A not-very-scientific ranking of states determined those that have the longest and shortest duration of sex.
Topping the list, by a large margin is New Mexico, where an act of love lasts just over 7 minutes, according to Nerve, an online magazine dedicated to sex, relationships and culture.
The data comes from Spreadsheets, a sex activity app that promises to "track your performance between the sheets."
I’m from Missouri. My boyfriend is from Kansas. Should we be averaging?
Since New Mexico (and Santa Fe especially) is a gay-friendly state, maybe it takes longer for those of the same sex to be aroused by each other.
Who knows — aside from Sante Fe I haven't heard of a lot of homosexual enclaves. In fact, I'd be rather surprised if state-wide we have a higher than normal general-population ratio — there's still a lot of [Roman] Catholic types in the state.
Perhaps you should be married....
Who’s giving the answer? The girl or the guy? lol
Sex? What’s sex?
You must be married.
Perhaps I will someday. Perhaps I won't.
I think Taos is pretty light in the loafers. But I haven’t been there in a long time.
I say that because of the libs that control the courts and recently ruled gay-marriage must be allowed and before that ruled against a commercial photographer who refused to photograph gay "weddings."
Honey, where is my stopwatch?
I remember that incident -- though I was out of state when it occurred -- it really pisses me off that they completely ignored the New Mexico Constitution:
Art II, Sec. 11. [Freedom of religion.]It is, IMO, grounds for impeachment and disbarment.
Every man shall be free to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and no person shall ever be molested or denied any civil or political right or privilege on account of his religious opinion or mode of religious worship. No person shall be required to attend any place of worship or support any religious sect or denomination; nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.
