I've got an early morning meeting but just couldn't NOT comment on this.
Dashing through the living room I hear ABC Good Morning America (don't know how THAT got on) talking about a SEX SURVEY and the surprising results. Yeah Yeah Yeah.
But then as I'm in the showering and the brain cells kick in I start thinking....and then I came and pulled it up to read.
It was a phone survey conducted by female interviewers.
It tells me I'm gonna be surprised by the results.
84% surveyed that are in committed relationships have been faithful.
33% of singles are having sex 1x a week or more.
12% have had sex in the workplace.
Surprised? No. (well except that 33% of singles are having sex that often)
But I just gotta say, some woman calls me up and tells me they are conducting a national sex survey and I'm hanging up. Immediately.
I joke about sex alot. I have a very earthy sense of humor. BUT....to me it is the most private of things. Really. That's one reason I don't date a lot. It's never (ok maybe that one time) been a casual thing. I'm very very traditional like that. And I don't really let my sense of humor show until I know people pretty well, as I don't want them to get the wrong idea.
My ex talked/lied about it all the time. I used to just cringe when he would discuss things that happened with his buddies in front of me and/or his kids. Now, I know most people don't do that - but DAMN I hate that.
Sex has always been a gift. A gift that I give that is the most personal thing I have. And while I do enjoy it....you can bet on that.......I've just never been one that can just kiss and walk away.
The biggest suprise for me? That they got 1,501 adults to talk about it. I must be more old fashioned than I thought.
Posted by Tammi at October 21, 2004 06:46 AMKinda makes you wonder how many people they had to call to get that many responses :-)
The other thing I wonder is how many people were just messing with the survey taker. I know SO many people who'll screw with telemarketers... just thinkin'... :-)
Posted by: Harvey at October 21, 2004 09:41 AMYeah, I thought about that too.
Still, I guess it just really hit me, given my sense of humor I am so very old fashioned.
Posted by: Tammi at October 21, 2004 09:45 AMPhht. I cannot even believe someone would talk about that. Incredible. There are some topics way off limits for me. That be one of them.

Hey Darlin'. Elevator guy's know their Ups and Downs. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.) ;^)
