East Villagers are Easy

NY Mag instructs six New Yorkers to chronicle their sex lives for a week. Results? Men under report masturbation. Married people don't have sex. Thirty-something female theater directors are where it's at ... and this gem, "If I had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have blacked out and lost my wallet!"

If I had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have blacked out and lost my wallet! Completely untrue. Last year, I blacked out and sprained my ankle. However, it was nice to have a dude to hold me up as I hopped home on one foot.

No anal sex, but that's unsuprising, because no one at the New Yorker has an anus.

If I had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have blacked out and lost my wallet! If it wasn't for my horse I never would've spent that year in college.

All that's happened to me so far this week is I saw some guy making out with a cute brunette on Wilson Boulevard. Felt tinge of jealousy. Kept driving, went to Whole Foods. Went Home. ugh. my life sucks. pornotube is all I have time for.

probably doesn't make any difference, jonmc, but this article ain't from the New Yorker. It's from New York Magazine. Just sayin'. People at the New Yorker probably acknowledge their anus-less-ness.

oops, I forgot about: 10AM get voicemail from old platonic friend that I used to have a crush on. She wants to go to dinner. Feel flurry of exitement. 3PM realize that she was probably just calling me to tell me about how she's moving in/getting engaged to new boyfriend.

1pm: Get email from guy I have crush on. Smile as I read that he broke up with his boyfriend. Feel like a dick for smiling. 1:05pm: Excitedly email a few friends to tell them the guy broke up w/ his bf. 1:10pm: Realize that we still live 6000 miles apart. 1:11pm: Seek comfort in soothing blue of Metafilter.

is it just me, or does it seem with increased communication technology we have faster paced relationships... and less sex.

What's with the single people having other people over for 15 minutes? Is this a situation whereby one or the other (or both) decide it's not happening, and so they just sort of agree to split? That seems weird. Whatever happened to having to spend an uncomfortable evening with someone, waiting until it's late so you can make reasonable excuses to leave?

smoothvirus: c'mon, have faith, you never know. Besides, that never stopped anyone before, especially in chick flicks, where it will turn out the b/f is a total cheating ass commiting illegal acts with sheep so that you can move in and express your undying love. Because if the b/f wasn't all that, we would realize she is just plain ol' cheatin on him, in spirit at the minimum. thirteenkiller: sorry, not buying it.

On page 5, the first entry from the 31 year old ad exec is this: MIDNIGHT Start sex diary. Think about having sex with writer of this article. I wonder how it worked out for him.

The young'uns are far more insecure about being single than are thirtysomethings, and it seems that the urbanites with kids are having more sex than singles. Really...based on a sample size of what? 1? From an already biased pool of people that NY Mag writers know?

Bovine Love: Alas, somewhere in my mid-twenties it slowly dawned on me that there's a huge difference in the way that romance works in Hollywood movies and the way it exists in the real world. To wit, boyfriend appears to be a nice guy, who is also taller and skinnier than I. Also, there are lots and lots of attractive young women in this town. Now if I wasn't working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, I might actually have the opportunity to meet some of them. Thus, my current dilemma.

Dang. I tried. Thinking there would be some highly descriptive sex type stuff that might speak to my winkle I read that entire thing. Sigh. No. My winkle became so bored it actually logged into my lap top by itself and began browsing gossip sites for pictures of Minne Driver's cleavage. Now thats bored. First commenter was right. People do lead some boring ass lives. This article made me feel way better about my life and my sex life in particular. I feel like James Bond by comparison. So. Um. Thanks? I guess.

And once again it's proven to me that hearing about other people's sex lives is as boring as hearing about other people's dreams.
