These threads are always fun, because they often say more about us commenters than the subject matter.

Personally, I find the article's supernatural stimulus theory compelling.

Sex takes a lot of time if you aren't being selfish about it. It's also boring, compared with other forms of entertainment and creative pursuits, pornographic or not.

I'm not sure this is all that new, either. Jokes about the declining frequency of sex after marriage have been around for longer than I have. Maybe we're just hitting that wall sooner as the entertainment that we fall asleep to becomes more compelling.

"These threads are always fun, because they often say more about us commenters than the subject matter."

I will not quote anything else from you and leave it at that.

I stand by it.

If you do find sex to be the most fulfilling part of your life, it might be worth asking where that sense of fulfillment comes from. It's probably a "who", not a "what".

How much descriptor-space would you say lies between "boring" and "the most fulfilling part of your life"?

Right. If its the only entertainment one ever has it could get boring. But its far more entertaining that... Most other forms of entertainment. That being said it shouldnt be the most fulfilling part of ones life.

There's a whole lot of real estate between "most fulfilling part of your life" and "boring".

If you find sex boring, you probably need to take a look at yourself or maybe find a different partner. Sex is rarely mind-blowingly great after your first few times but I can't say I've ever been bored by it.

> If you do find sex to be the most fulfilling part of your life

Is this the necessary projection for someone who values sex?

[oh_sigh]

The two choices are sex can be boring, or the most fulfilling part of your life, but nothing in between?

[orbifold]

Could be a way of coping with the fact that they never had good sex. Sex can be pretty terrible, awkward and not fun at all if you happen to be with the wrong partner that night.

Was about to point out the same thing. Saying sex is boring says a lot about THAT person’s opinion on sex.

> It's also boring

I don't think I've ever heard sex described as "boring"?!

Maybe you just need to change things up a bit?

>Sex takes a lot of time if you aren't being selfish about it

Can you put a number on what you mean by "a lot of time"?
