I came across an article from Prima Magazine in the U.K., stating that our Grandmothers had more sex than we do. The survey found that on average our Grandmother’s had sex twice a week while current women are only having sex once a week. The reason they gave are that women have more to do now than our Grandmother’s did.
First reaction, “My grandma was a beautiful yet very frigid woman. It just sucks that Ms. Frigid had more time for nookie than I do.” But since it isn’t a scientific study but a random survey I get to pretend that those numbers are low. Once a week? Come on Ladies. . .I know, I know – I get it. But once a week?
Next thought – the theory does make sense and they didn’t need to do a survey. After I got over my initial shock that Grandma was getting busy, I had to say – out loud – to myself - duh’! (Yes, I say DUH on occasion. Don’t you? It’s making a comeback).
Let’s think about this, my Grandma’s job: To make sure husband is happy, support his career, to look as good as she can (always freshened up before grandpa came home), make sure house is clean and kids were taken care of. Come to think of it, Grandma should have been giving it up more than twice a week. Women of today, do all of that AND we hold down careers, etc, etc.
Sure some of us have the luxury of hiring people to clean our house once a week, but they don’t do the laundry and they don’t pick up the house. Yes, we take the kids to a babysitter, daycare or school – which happens to correspond with the exact amount of time we are at our jobs and away from our house. So, while Grandma had the luxury of having small bits of downtime throughout the day for herself, we relax by doing the chores that were part of Grandma’s job.
Which brings me back to my original point. . . the more a woman has to do the less likely she’ll be doing you. You want nookie? Pick up some of the pieces. Make her life a little easier. Appreciate her and she will appreciate you.
