The pursuit of sex

Lets be honest, I thought this should be the first real entry into the secret life of man because it seems after entering this world you spend a huge amount of time trying to get back in where you came from (well not exactly the same place that would be revolting and illegal) but you know what I mean. Nearly 30 years on this earth and a few steady relationships have led me to believe that this gets no easier, sure you go about it in different ways but the careful attention to detail and concentration required when you really want it never changes. One misplaced word, hand, gesture or action can send you from the 99 square on the snakes and ladders sex board all the way back to 1!

And I suppose this sums up my adult male life a constant trek up the snakes and ladders of sex to magical square 100 and how my actions and thoughts either take up the ladders or plummeting down the snakes (mind you the snakes always seem perilously long and the ladders not as long as I thought they would be).

I generally think that women don't understand the effort that most guys put into the pursuit of sex, I am sure if they did you might get something for you efforts (probably a slap for only thinking how to bed them) but they hold the power. This is a fact easily demonstrated in no matter how unattractive you maybe as a girl if you want a shag you'll get one, finding a man to sleep with is easy as finding an American who has heard of McDonalds. Now as a bloke this is not something that works the other way round sure there are exceptions (fame and money) but these are still not guaranteed to bring you anything, well it will probably bring you anything whether you take it is a different question. But for Mr Joe Shmoe and the rest of us it's an uphill battle.

Whether in a relationship or not the game time may vary and you may start a few more squares up the board the goal is still the same and you can still end up all the way back at square 1! or worse. There are many factors that have crossed my mind and no doubt will be written about at a later date, but the one currently on my mind is since recently moving in with my girlfriend is "Are you more likely to get more sex if you live apart?" In some small way much like going on holiday I think there is some inherent thought within the woman's mind that for you coming over to her house or vice versa that it is 'polite'?

So I encourage you to answer the poll to the side "Are you likely to get more sex if you live apart?"
