I don't claim to know much about vaginas but I cant fathom how having sex every single day would be enjoyable for the woman given the stress limits of vaginas.

look who read the nytimes on sunday.

@1,

So, in other words, you know jackshit about female anatomy. Why do you continue to insist on commenting on things you know nothing about?

I can't even imagine how that would be enjoyable to the husband. So she just lies there and lets him go at it day, after day, after day. I love chocolate cake, but if someone insisted I eat a slice every goddamn day for a year, I'd grow to hate it.

who said it was just vaginal? wow you must suck in the sack.

i don't know jack shit about vaginas but i would imagine anything designed to squeeze out a baby can probably handle a fair amount of pounding. once a day seems reasonable.

that, and i'm absolutely horrified by the cheese analogy.

@1: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that vaginal sex probably wasn't on the menu every night...365 days? You've got to get creative...think every fold, flap or flesh pocket...

I would imagine sex every night for a year would make sex pretty boring. (No matter how creative you get.)

Slowly sliding cheese is an unfortunate image.

Kesh, I post in the hope that you'll have a blood vessel pop and die.

I was originally going to ask for the definition of sex.

I know enough about vaginas to know that 45-60 minutes of sex a day is going to leave a vagina sore and aching in many circumstances.

I would settle for some melted cheese every night of the year. For sure.

@2 Since this was covered in the New York Times this past weekend it has remained one of the top e-mailed stories on their list. Frankly, I'd like to see the commentary as the e-mails are sent. "See, dear, other people have sex more than once every six months."

i'm suprised he could get it up so consistenly. but what an amazing wife! she actually let her husband have sex with her. who could ask for more? does she need an award or what...

I know this much: The one cooter in the world that absolutely nobody cares about is the one keshmeshi is packing.

a. Good for her!
b. I wonder if her husband read it?
c. I would assume sex every night means dude gets off with her help, how doesn't really matter. I'm guessing. Read the book and let us know.

All that sex causing cheese to slide off her cracker. I just don't think I want to read about that.

If I was her husband, I think I would have asked for a birthday blow job instead.

@9: Since the average sex act is apparently under 20 minutes, she's probably going to live.

On the other hand, I agree with Mr. Poe. 365 nights of sex, in a row, would completely burn me out on sex. It would be like eating steak every night for a year. Maybe this is her way of killing any remaining desire for sex in her husband?

@9,

Wow, you must be such a tiger in the sack. 45-60 minutes? By the way, most men don't last even half that long, even a quarter that long. There is no physical reason why she can't pull this off.

Oh, and by the way, it's very cute how you need a scrawny twink to fight your battles for you.

weird; to this married 40 year old this book proposal sounds like a field guide to an alien planet

:(

Scrawny? I'll kick your ass, bitch.

But seriously, how am I fighting Bellevue Ave's battle? You started this whole kesh/poe fiasco the second I made a crack about Phil Hartman's wife over a year ago. Bellevue Ave is fighting my battle, which you started.

@19,

That's what you think.

@20,

For the most part, I've ignored your bullshit. Until you decided that you have to fight your BFF's battles, I hadn't addressed you for months, despite many opportunities. And, yes, it's really fucking pathetic that you think that Bellevue Ave can't defend himself from big, bad me. Apparently, he's much of a fucking weakling as you are.

Yeah, you're probably right. When I picture you, I picture this.

@23,

Hmm, right.

This:

Bellevue Ave is fighting my battle, which you started.

makes you sound like a victim, by the way. Grow the fuck up.

Great for them, assuming she didn't get too sore. Not that it makes me want to read a book about it.

Kesh, are you that paranoid to believe I enlisted Poe to make fun of you? Two people independently taking you down should tell you something about what an obnoxious bitch you are.

Also, it's funny how you think I have these ideas about myself that you've just made up.

Paul,

Why don't you get six other Stranger writers to pick a day of the week and review it that way?

there was a 2nd book profiled in the NYT article - written by a hippie couple who did it 101 days in a row.

mrs. solomon said i couldn't do it - i said sure i could, but not when our teenage daughter is in our bedroom till 11:30 every night! GET THE FUCK OUT.

Kesh, why you gotta be so mean? Here we are. Trying to be civil with you, and you gotta bring up our insecurities.

And trust me, the sex we're having is a hell of a lot better than the sex you're not having.

@26,

No, I think that Poe thinks that you're a weakling, in which case he is correct, and so jumped in to defend you.

Isn't it sad that a weakling can get you so riled up? I have power over you in that I can post anything, no matter how relevant it is to anything, and you'll swoop in and get outraged and call me names and try to attack an image of who you think i am or I believe myself to be.

You're a fucking puppet to my inanity. You can't help but read and be outraged by what I say.

@24

Me? Victim? I've already told everyone I'm a victim, woman. God you're so stupid.

Make like a tree and shoot yourself with a gun.

Three point!

Ahem, not to interrupt the delightful exchange between you guys, but back on topic here's a really funny quotation from the "hippie" couple in the NY Times article:

Annie even forced her husband to have sex during a bout of vertigo. “I’m not a quitter,’ she said. “The night he had vertigo, I said, ‘I’m sorry, guy, but you’ve got to keep going.’ ”

That is all, carry on.

@Poe,

Wait a minute. You actually remember the very first time I called you out on your never ending woman bashing? Holy fuck. So, in other words, whenever someone, let alone a woman, dares to criticize you for anything, you stew over it for over a year.

And, for some reason, I expected better than insults about my alleged inability to get laid and my alleged ugliness. You're down to ecce's level now, Poe. Sad.

You can't even give good insult anymore. I'm done with you.

You can't be done with something you never had, poopface!

You can't make cheese without milk. You can't get milk without dairy farms. Which are filled with cows and their calves who have to be tortured and killed in order to function.

In other words, anyone with a shred of humanity would have let that cheese fall off and enjoyed a vegan, murder-free cracker. It disgusts me that none of you people even thought about that.

@36

Sorry - but there is nothing better than a big ol' juicy cheese burger!

@36:

Once the cheese has been made, it can't be unmade, so why waste it?

And seriously, Poe, BA, Kesh - rent a freaking room already! This feigned animosity isn't fooling any of us.

This is the funniest slog post I have read in a long time!

Keshmeshi, don't let these guys torture you, they are enjoying it way too much!

kesh isn't feigning it comte. she actually is pissed that other people can and do say anything that most the time she disagrees with

COMTE, we are well aware that we are under her skin. That's why we're digging deeper.

Wow, sex every night with the same woman for a year so she can write a book. It's probably missionary every night. BJ's fine, maybe a little anal for my 40th.

Her cheese is dripping? Maybe she should go see a doctor.

"Poopface?" Holy Mary, Mother of God...

FWIW, keshmeshi, I've heard Mr. Poe talk about plenty of women whose company he keeps and respects. So when it comes to Mr. Poe "being angry at women," I think it's really just you and a few other select gals who walk around like political manifestos with boobs.

You know what's as tiresome as dumb guys acting like they own the world? Chicks who act like they never will.

My preference is 3x a day, 2 days a week.

@45 -- I guess we'll know which two days it is when we see Mr. Poe walking all sideways like a crab.

@ 43 I agree! Cheese dripping is not really a good sign in a woman.

Keshmeshi, if you really want to get to these guys start talking about vaginal discharges and cramps!

You know what's as tiresome as dumb guys acting like they own the world? Chicks who act like they never will.

Amen.

@45

Same!!

Postin' in this thread. Makin' a post. Yep.

You certainly did.

This makes me think of why I will never hike the Appalachian Trail. I love hiking, but, it would get boring and lose most of its appeal after doing it every day for six months.

I saw this woman on a TV morning show a few weeks ago... can't remember which one. All I remember about it was that she said that they made good use of the quickie. And, I remember thinking, there wasn't one day that whole year where they were not physically in the same location? Weird.

@51 According to the NY Times article it wasn't actually every day for a year, because he did go on business trips. So they made up for the days they missed on other days.

They are coy about how often they have sex now (which frankly seems ridiculous because after you overshare on such a massive level do you really need to hold back?) but say they fall within the national average (for those who care, that's 66 times a year).

@51
"This makes me think of why I will never hike the Appalachian Trail. I love hiking, but, it would get boring and lose most of its appeal after doing it every day for six months."

Six months to thru-hike the AT? That's called crawling, not hiking.

She must be too old to get visited by Aunt Flo. That does not seem pleasant. It should never be a chore.

Lube isn't just for buttholes, Buttholes. Check the fine products available in your local pharmacy, right next to the condoms.

If it hurts, you're either not doing it right, or you're doing it all night long, which in the latter case, I salute you.
