More Sex

Economist Seth Stephen-Davidowitz's op-ed, in the New York Times, offers that misplaced anxiety is decreasing the frequency of sex in America.  In Searching for Sex, Seth says that the number of Google searches for “sexless marriage" are three and a half times more common than “loveless marriage".

Affection for Hire

They say that it is not bad out there.  We do not want to admit we are lonely, but come on; you know we are if there is a market for cuddling.  People need touch.  There is nothing like a good hug.  There are different types of hugs:  the church lady hug, I-just-met-you-hug, team hug, oooh-baby hug, post-coital hug, and A-frame-no-chests-touching hug.  My personal least favorite is the baby burp hug.  If that is all you have to offer, you can just keep that.
