Olivier Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Since there are sufficiently many geeks on this thread, I could think of no better place to share the latest XKCD.

And while we're on on the topic, sorta, I've got to say that while Randall Munroe may be a hero, he still falls short of Tim Minchin, who perfectly captures what I feel about my "not perfect" marriage: Link to post Share on other sites
Asexy Existentialist Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I think I wanna be a little more happy about my marriage than Tim is about his Earth/country/body/mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Olivier Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Being comfortable accepting something that's not perfect, but pretty damned amazing despite its flaws, and very particularly mine, will do me. I actually think that song is intensely joyous. Link to post Share on other sites
Ged of Earthsea Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Different perspectives, Asexy Existentialist. I doubt anything is truly perfect in an ideal sense. We have some choice in our relationships so it is reasonable to have high aspirations. We also choose a lot of other things: accomodation, job, hobby, entertainment, etc. Would the same standards apply? I actually think that song is intensely joyous. It's not perfect but it'll do fine. (Don't you groan. You could have bet pension funds this quip was coming) I'm unable to come up with a fitting musical response. The most recent piece that sang out as a marriage anthem is Neil Hannon's Tonight we Fly. Link to post Share on other sites
Pamcakes Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 While I can't back you up, I can say that my boyfriend totally would. I confused the hell out of him last year by actually being randy on MY birthday. To which he replied, "Wait.. Isn't this supposed to happen on my birthday?" So, obviously, based on that statement, occasion sex is "supposed" to happen for him, too. Well, in my mind, EVERYBODY (in a relationship) gets birthday sex. Not just the dudes. Where would be the fairness in that? :P jeez, sex just because it's someone's birthday? :P (i suppose the fact that we didn't have wedding night sex is practically sacrilegious then, eh? haha) Apparently, it's becoming a more and more prevalent phenomenon that Sexual people end up not having sex on their wedding night, because they're so exhausted from the wedding! I guess since the majority of pre-marital relationships are now sexual, the wedding night no longer holds the same, "OhmiGosh, we finally get to do it!" significance it once did, and people who've been on their feet for sixteen odd hours, rushing around on what is possibly one of the most stressful and demanding (though happy, hopefully!) days of their lives, are likely to be absolutely fatigued to the point of collapse, it makes sense that more people would be opting for sleep first, and Happy Sexy Funtimes[tm] the next morning, or whenever.

That happened to me! We were also too busy on the day or two after that while getting ready to leave for our honeymoon while dealing with some post-wedding stuff... We had sex on our wedding morning though, before getting up, does that count? :P Link to post Share on other sites
