I confirm McGehee. Back then I drank mostly to get them licquored up. Worked just about all the time.
(But not a drop more booze than you need to get the job done. You wouldn't want her to puke all over both of you and spoil a good evening in the middle of the main event.)
Yes, it's true. Getting us girls drunk would work. How else do you think we'd be willing to be intimate with someone we hardly knew and couldn't care less about? Why'd we do it? Stupid. When we started wising-up and being choosey, the sex would be less frequent but more interesting. I speak as one who came of age in the 60s.
Many a long, long great marriage began with just the kind of encounter you wrote about. You'd be amazed how many grandmothers and grandfathers, in candid moments, tell their grandkids about the one-night stand that began their family.
(Actually, I'm sure my wife of more than 32 years chose me because she was living with me at the time her student visa from Jugoslavia ran out, after she completed her first university degree at the University of Illinois' Chicago campus. So I became her permanent US visa, so to speak.)
But licquor or no licqor, few people remain strangers for long after a good night in the sack.
"(But not a drop more booze than you need to get the job done. You wouldn't want her to puke all over both of you and spoil a good evening in the middle of the main event.)"
I don't see the problem. I married the first girl to yak on me during oral sex.
And true, I think. True for you. And true for me. I never smoked, and I'm glad of it (bad for the lungs).
And as for drinking, though I do drink on occasion, though much less than I used to in my younger days, I must say this about myself: Dionysus and Aphrodite don't coexist in me. I feel _much_ sexier when I'm not inebriated. I find that liquor intensifies a lot of emotions in me, but lust is, strange to say, not one of them. Don't know why that is, but that's the way I am.
Hmm. I'm with Steven Malcolm Anderson on this one. Alcohol does nothing for me below the belt. I find when I drink, my perception time is severely slowed down, kinda sorta like walking through life behind a 5-second tape delay. Needless to say, all available CPU processing power then goes towards navigating safely home, and not towards chasing poon.
Since my love life has been, shall we say dry for a while, should I take up smoking and drinking just so that I can then give them up and get this increase that you brag about? ;-)
Sometimes, this board is like seeing your friends naked. It makes it hard to have breakfast with them in the morning. Some pictures a woman just shouldn't have in her head. I'm going to start wearing sunglasses when I read.
Michael, you will be much more 'romantic' if you avoid the smoking and drinking. Trust me. Arnold is made of steel. You can't measure by him. Of course, all that steel is to protect this very tender heart. Shhh, don't tell.
Translation: I got laid. Dean, you've opened your heart and mind to readers of your blog; thanks for sharing some of your metaphoric body fluids with your faithful readers. To butcher a phrase from my friend Ara - "You guys are turning me on!"
You've heard that, too, huh??? :-)
When I was young and single, what correlated with improving my sex life wasn't how much or how little I drank, but how much the girls were drinking.

Dean, your statement is largely dependent on the quality of girl one is sleeping with.
I remember this one night in Cartegena......
Hey Jane,
Many a long, long great marriage began with just the kind of encounter you wrote about. You'd be amazed how many grandmothers and grandfathers, in candid moments, tell their grandkids about the one-night stand that began their family.

You quit smoking, too?!?
Dude!
Two thumbs up. Enjoy the whoopie.
Dean,
There's a great scene in that old Dick Van Dyke movie, "Cold Turkey"...

Uh. Good to hear. *squick*
Dean:
As an unattached non-smoking moderate drinker, I guess I'll have to take your word for it. :-)
I will reserve comment until I hear corroboration from the Queen of All Evil. :)
Do you spose'... da parents told us never to do one of them... and wait on the other for a good reason?
I bet the little Esmay could just about answer both of those right about now! ;)
Couldn't resist, I is a Grandma!!!
Good!

when I'm drunk, I think that I should be interested in sex, but am not. I'll still do it, I just won't enjoy it as much.

Who'da thunk? you're a romantic!
So she tells me, Jane. But my self persona is hard boiled and armor plated. Go figure it.

Smoking is bad for the lungs?
Just when you thought Dean and Rose were perhaps sharing too much of their personal life......
that your success is easily measured by your interactions with others is so encouraging and positive. continued success to you and yours.

Dean, you'll LOVE the sex. Take up running (if you don't already) to clean out your system and take the sex to the next level.
Oh, and you WILL gain wait. I've never known anybody who quit both smoking and drinking, including myself, that didn't gain 20+ pounds within a year.
