Heat Generated By Love, Attraction
Everybody made a big deal over the Kinsey Report and the Hite Report and the other official sex surveys. But, in our own quiet way, we’ve been gathering data on sex since the dawn of the millennium. Here are more excerpts from the Tales Report.
Laura: “The last time I had sex was on Tuesday night with my married lover. I am a 46-year-old widow who had been celibate by choice for eight years, since the death of my husband. My lover’s wife decided to have a love affair with food rather than him. She has outweighed him most of their 20 years of marriage and flat-out told him she has no intentions of losing weight. After years of bitterness and resentment, he stopped making love to her. When we met, he had not made love to her in five years. The attraction between us was like steel to a magnet. He says I make him feel 10 feet tall and he makes me feel like the most beautiful and desirable woman in the world. I’m no Cindy Crawford, but I am fit, trim and attractive, even after several children, which amazes him. He is a warm, tender and passionate lover and we make love two or three times a week. Why his wife would prefer a plate of fried chicken over him is beyond me!”
Eddie: “The last time I had sex was last night and before that, four days ago. Not so unusual, you say? Well, considering that I’m 74 years old, it might be. I’m enjoying sex as much as I did when I was half this age. The strange thing is that my high school and army buddies are over the hill. I don’t know one who is still able to have sex. I’ve done a lot of research into why and I attribute it to my superior diet. My only problem is finding an older woman with a similar sex drive. It seems when women get to be 55 or 60, they lose all interest in sex.”
Bonnie: “I’m a single, 37-year-old female and the last time I had sex was a year ago. I had ended a long-term relationship earlier in the year and was quite desperate when a co-worker called and propositioned me. He sweet talked me for three hours and I finally told him to come over. It was great. When he didn’t call for two weeks, I asked him what happened. He said we shouldn’t have done it and I should have kept saying no to him. I haven’t had sex since.”
Lisa: “The last time I had sex was two days ago with a guy I’ve been dating for two months. I’m confused because he’s really wealthy and I’m not sure if that’s the attraction.”
Joanne: “The last time I had sex was last night. I had thought about my husband off and on all day and when he got home, I told him, amidst the usual mayhem of making dinner and our two children. When he was changing clothes I told him I would take off my underwear if he would take off his. Deal! After the children went to bed, we turned off the lights and turned on a Vince Gill record. We ended up making love on the couch. We’ve been married 20 years and we still feel like lovers. Illicit love has nothing on good old, solid-as-a-rock married love. We have as much of a spark as we did when we made love in our dorm.”
Jordan: “When was the last time I had sex? How about three years ago! How do I feel about it? I miss a woman’s touch, her perfume on the pillow, her kiss, having her in my arms when I wake up. But do I miss sex itself? I’d be a liar if I said no, but I want the whole package. What’s the problem? I’m scared to death of women. The prettier they are, the more intimidated I become. I don’t trust myself anymore because I’ve made some poor choices.”
