  Sex and the real city - The Boston Globe
In contrast to the beneath-the-radar-screen kinkiness uncovered by sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s -- not to mention what you'd guess about Americans' sex lives from watching MTV -- the Chicago survey found American sexuality to be ordinary, even a tad dull.
It was not swingers but married couples who reported the happiest sex lives -- and they were having intercourse only seven times a month.
Despite all the new emphasis on same-sex marriage, among gay men in Shoreland "transactional" sex (that is, exchanges of pleasure) rather than "relational" sex (aimed at creating a stable relationship) is what's evoked in local ads and discussed in bars, the authors say.

 The Sex Lives and Sexual Frustrations of US troops in Iraq
Of course, military regulations ban sex out of marriage, but these regulation have about as great a chance of being obeyed as the US has of obtaining the “total victory” that the President is always promising.

 Sex After a Heart Attack | Principal Health News
Sex may get the heart pumping, but not any more than a brisk walk around the block or a climb up two flights of stairs.
To a lesser extent, sex may also be risky if you have mild angina, early-stage heart failure, a history of stroke, a heart attack within the last two to six weeks, or at least three major risk factors for coronary heart disease (such as obesity, high cholesterol, and hypertension).
Sex may be safe for most heart patients, but it isn't always plentiful or pleasurable.

Rather, that since the focus has shifted with the aging baby boomers, who are now fortysomething, those in their early thirties suddenly find themselves out of the limelight to a certain extent--caught, for the moment at least, in media limbo.
Nevertheless, they are alive and well and living in paradise--enjoying an age of acquisition, feeling their oats and not shy about sowing them.
Unfairly, the sexes are perceived very differently if they are unmarried in their thirties: single men are envied as strutting predatorial bachelors without the slightest pressure to get hitched, while single women are simply "left-on-the-shelf" products whom everyone tries to introduce to any single man they know.
