Terrine: Love.

Love.  There's nothing else I have to say!

Fabulous Andy: All About (Old) Melons and Bananas

After a hot night in the St. Lawrence river, we wondered: why is getting married automatically associated with scarce sexual intercourse?

Sex is a lot of fun, but some people take their relationship for granted as soon as they have a ring on their finger. "Oh, of COURSE, we enjoy our intimacy, but we would rather play Scrabble with our newly-married neighbors. Isn't that right, honey?" Then the husband grunts and accepts to play Scrabble, knowing that he might spend the night watching porn to make up for his "nice evening".

I mean, this doesn't apply only to married couples, but also to couples that just abandoned the mere thought of having fun in bed because... they've gotten so used to one another. How can anyone be sexually attracted to his or her second half is they have a conversation while one is shaving and the other one is shitting in the same bathroom? They might save up some time trying to do that, but is this what we call everlasting love?

A friend was recently telling me about how her boyfriend and her have been together for approximately four years.

*Me: Geez, how do you manage to do that?

*Her: Dunno, we're so used to each other, I get insecure when I think of leaving him.

*Me: Wouldn't you want to give it a try? Maybe you would be happier with someone else!

A bit later...

*Me: How are things going, sexually speaking?

*Her: I can't ask too much from him... he's often tired.

Exasperated, I let her in her fantasy world of getting eventually married with him and having a kid, but I honestly think getting "used" to a partner to the extent where sex happens monthly is unacceptable.

People can let go of passion and bubbly love, but never should sex be left behind in order to look at the other person shit. Ever.
