The Shower.

     According to a study quoted in a book only "10 percent of all pregnant couples were not having sex...after about the third month. By the ninth month, the number of abstaining couples had risen to 33 percent." However, in this same study, "about 40 percent of all the couples surveyed were still having and enjoying sex into the ninth month" (Nelson, 2004, p. 133). Forty percent were still having sex. That seems a little high, doesn't it?
     Maybe it's the tides, the gravitational effect of the moon, the powerful surging hormones, or just some cruel joke or irony, but sinking up schedules, opportunities, and desires seems to be just this side of impossible. Forty percent. Ha! that means 60 percent aren't having sex. Well, I guess to be precise, at least 60 percent aren't "enjoying" sex. They might be having it, but it's not gonna be fun! That has to be just the perfect mind set to get into bed with: "Hey, I gotta knock this out before I go to sleep, you mind?" I wonder if it's one of those things that falls on the chore list. Am I alone on this one?

P.S. There was some confusion on the relationship between the blog title and content. The picture was supposed to help clear that up: it's a cold shower...
