There’s an old episode of The Simpsons where Homer has been replaced with a German look-a-like. At the end of the episode, Marge becomes aware of the switch. However, when the doppelganger turns to her in bed and asks, “Now shall we have efficient German sex?” Marge replies, “Mm… Okay!”
Sometimes marital sex feels a little like efficient German sex. But I think it’s important to persevere.
My husband and I have sex every other day, give or take. Sound like a boring, married routine? It is routine, but it’s not boring.
You know those commercials for Cialis? The ones with the two bathtubs? (What is that all about, anyway? Why two? Logically, you only need one tub.) They always show a retired couple with all the time in the world. No kids to put to bed. No work to catch up on. They have the luxury of impromptu sex. “When the moment is right…” Unfortunately, nature, that cruel bitch, has left the poor old man without a boner when he needs one. So there’s Cialis.
We don’t have the luxury of impromptu sex. We can’t wait until “the moment is right.” We really only have the opportunity between 10 and 11pm: after the kids are in bed, but before we collapse into a coma.
So we don’t wait for the moment to be right. We take advantage of the moment we have. But not every night. Let’s not go crazy.
