According to the market research document in front of me, "Sexual intercourse occurs more than 100 million times a day around the world."

(er, that's humans only, so no smart-alecky remarks, please)

So, statistically speaking, we should all get laid about once every 6 weeks?

Geez, I'm getting gyped.

That's actually kind of a sexy fact, when you think about it. Right now, millions of people are having sex... somehow, just knowing that, I feel slightly dirty...

hee...

Hmmm.

OK, 100 million a day... that's 4.167 million an hour... 69,444 a minute... over a thousand sex acts starting right this second!

Wow, you're right.

Cam you imagine how much sex some people must be having to be making up the difference for those of us that aren't??

Damn. Careful you don't frell yourselves into a heart attack folks. (Oops, that was my out-loud voice, wasn't it?) ;-)

Well if you spread it out over the, what, 4 billion-odd people in the world over the age of consent, I guess it works out OK. Mind you assuming you need 2 and only 2 people to engage in 1 sex act (silly vanilla market research documents!) that would be 2 billion couples... 1 couple gets laid every 20 days...

damn, that still is a lot, considering my numbers are probably off. And considering, as you say, the many many of us Not Currently Getting Any.

There are a heck of alot of people who never get any by choice... like Catholic priests, ok bad example :P There are some people who choose not to have any sexual preference... then there is the old saying "Under 18 they are protected by law, over 80 they are protected by nature." ... so I'd guess that the number of people who are in theory part of this sex having segment of the population should be fairly small because the number of very old people has risen a heck of a lot and the percentage of the population that is under 10 years old especially outside of the "first world" is massive. And we hope they aren't having much sex... I would guess the number would be something like 3.5 billion or smaller.

All of which to say, I'm figuring at least once a month would be healthy... so any of you out there getting more than this... STOP IT, you are eating up the supply for the rest of us! (side-note: this whole string of posts made me giggle for about 5 minutes)

Why does it seem so appropriate that you've capitalized "Not Currently Getting Any." It sounds like something you might tick off in the census.

Hey, wait a minute: aren't you married?

No extra sex for you until the rest of us get some! ;]

There's nothing funnier than a single person who assumes married people have high 'humpa humpa' levels.

Especially married people with kids, but it can apply to most relationships.

and the handle becomes ever clearer... :P

Still, admit the odds of sex are higher for married people. Please. Leave us a few illusions...

Yes, but probability is a mugs game. The random variabls (R) more than compensate for the additional chances provided by (P), long-term partner.

As for illusions, you can pretend Dubya was elected. Will that make you feel better?

From: [identity profile] electricland.livejournal.com
Yes, but the point about random variables (as my Phys Chem lab supervisor pointed out) is they are random. Meaning some of them actually increase your chances of getting laid, which is where your higher value of P comes into play.

I cling to my illusions, but only those that will actually make me feel better, so your alternate suggestion is hereby rejected out of hand.

Hey, [livejournal.com profile] mindrobber has a crush on you.

Hmph. Crushes in MY LiveJournal and yet I am neither crusher nor crushee. Hmph, I say.

I have dated -- even recently -- but it didn't go anywhere, alas.

You should carouse with other lesser men to inflame his passions.

Ah, yes, thanks: I was a conscientious objector to such things during high school, so my dating can be a little off. Y'think anyone else is as amused by us as we are?

Both of you. You must duel for his affections. I suggest a long term battle of wits and seduction. You should finish by wrestling in jello, as it is both fun and nutritious.

Wow, the charm of that mental picture nearly persuades me... nah. Gonna have to take your word for it on the jello.

I can probably manage the toying with lesser men, if pushed.

I'm detecting a strong note of self-interest here. I think maybe you're just toying with our heads for your own ends.

NEver. I live my life in a state of enlignhtened do-gooding for the sake of others.

If they poste a play by play and colour photos, I consider that simply them paying it forward.

Not to mention that as an only child, you would be seriously disadvantaged in the jello-wrestling category. On the other hand, I couldn't seduce a turnip, so we're even....

Well, red is fairly fetching to my complexion, so strawberry would be fine, but how about lime? I'm quite fond of lime.
