The Futurist magazine reckons we’ll be having more sex in 2009. Before you start to celebrate (particularly any celibate folk), I should warn you that the futurologists have based this prediction on women’s growing economic power. Hmmm… I wasn’t aware the credit crunch was some form of male-only economic disease, but phew! This power will apparently enable women to make more choices and what we’ll choose is sex. Okay, obviously there is a correlation between women’s economic independence and sexual permissiveness, but I can’t really see how the chance of earning a few more quid is going to contribute to general levels of sex in the next 12 months – unless we use or lovely, recession-proof female earning power to buy men.
Also contributing to the general horniness of the world, many Americans are predicted to stop taking anti-depressants this year. Anti-depressants are a big libido dampener and over 100+million Americans have prescriptions for them.
On a slightly different note, The Futurist also reckons flying cars may be on the way…
Wondering if think writing about sex is a little bit outdated? Like it’s not a repressed Ireland. 99% of us now how to get our groove on. Change the record, no more sexpertise. Yours etc.
Have to say I disagree with you (but then I would). Find sex endless fascinating. Not so much what to do (yes, most people do know how to) but rather why we choose to have sex with a particular person, all the the biological, emotional, psychological as well as physical motivations
men are from mars and women are from venus!
its so true.
That’s kinda depressing…

Sorry Jelly, was in bed long before you sent that. Hope you managed to get some rest. I’m a regular insomniac myself.
