Sex!! they say sex is as good as a six mile run. I am dying to run a marathon! but, when I request extra training my coach (gf) tells me that sex is a thing of the past, only the odd nights training is permitted. I always wanted to be an athlete, now I am told it's bad for my health to train too much! Is this a girlie thing or am I living in the past? Is sex on it's way out.

Sex will help get you more in shape, but unless you're really kinky you'll still have to do old-fashioned exercises such as weight training and stretching and walking to the grocery store, etc.

You do have to be careful of overtraining. Perhaps your coach isn't in as good shape as you are, or perhaps she takes part in different kinds of exercises and would be overtraining if she had more sex.

So, sex is over-rated by those who need other interests in life, and underrated by others who have other interests. It just depends on what the people involved need for their daily exercises and on the ratio of fun to effort involved. That clear it up?

Sex is overrated by some, underrated by others. It is certainly overrated in most romantic fiction, movies, etc., in that it is usually presented as the key to ultimate happiness...which it is not!

But it's underrated by a number of severe religious outfits here and there.

Depends on who you talk to....

Amos, it's only overrated for you physically because of your own hang-ups and inadequacies. Judging from the hang-ups you seem to have, I'm sure you are probably from the sex is dirty school.

I'm surprised you don't think it's overated because of George Bush.

Sex is a wonderful physical and emotional blessing.

Martin:

Your enmity, while impassioned, is likewise overrated and somewhat ridiculous. Obviously, you didn't understand what I said and chose to pervert it, which is fairly typical of your approach.

I am glad you enjoy sex so much; I do also. But I think in the culture at large the physical aspects of it are overrated and the emotional dimensions of it under-emphasized. Largtely this is attributable to meathead commercialists, much like yourself.

I've heard it said that sex is like pizza. When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

Agree with Amos that the physical is overrated while the emotional doesn't get its fair share of publicity.

There are lots of fun things that lose so much of their pleasure if you're too concerned about exactly how someone else reckons you should be doing it. Cooking and dancing are two, sex is another.

It's a vulgar prestigious pleasure, and as such tends to be overrated & overpriced -- more so, IMO, than eating beef, less so than going to concerts. But if you ignore the prestige and concentrate on the vulgarity & the pleasure, it has a certain conspiratorial charm that can be consoling.
