roughly one in four Americans who are married or living with a romantic partner regularly feel too exhausted for sex.

Well there's the farking problem. Take those 1 in 4 Americans and drop them into a bedroom with some hot and horny partner to whom they're not married or living with and those poor saps'll perk right on up.

That's why I jerk it in traffic. Call me Mr. Efficiency. Or Mr. Public Indecency, as I'm known at the station.

If it's a temporary thing - just had a kid, the two weeks before the big project is due, etc - it's just life. If it's much more than that, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

They're too tired to have the same old sex with the same old spouse.

Introduce a diner waitress in frilly little socks for the guy, or some Chippendale's model for the lady and the fatigue will instantly disappear.

Guys aren't too tired to do it.

Must be talking about the other half.

FTA: "...whites were the least likely to report doing job-related activities in the hour before bed: 9% of whites said they regularly worked right before going to sleep, compared with 13% of Hispanics, 16% of Asians and 17% of blacks."

Blacks were even more likely to do job-related activities before bed than Asians? I call bullshiat on that statistic.

If I was too tired for sex I wouldn't be conscious enough to answer a damn survey, that's for sure.

It's not that I am tired of sex, it's just that it has become SOP (Same Old P*ssy)

I'd make a comment, but I'm too tired.

It's not you.

/really, it isn't

According to the survey, about 20 to 30% of those polled said that they their persistent lack of sleep often left them too tired for sex.

That's some survey.

Maybe some of the respondents consider sleeping on the job "going to bed."

My wife could have told you that.

Carrying around all that fat will make a body tired, for sure.

Tired?

Yes, I'm tired...from heaving my wife's giant gunt out of the way.

IonBeam2: Is this a problem? I mean, what with overpopulation and the prevalence of all these fun diseases and everything.

Your wife sounds hot.

As a busy man with no time for sex, I'm getting a big kick out of these replies....

/so ronry
 
2010-03-09 06:11:32 PM
In all seriousness, I think this is the ultimate "it's time to get out" sign. If you no longer want to plow your SO, it's time to really see if it's going anywhere. I've had 2 or 3 relationships in the past where one day I suddenly realize "wow, I haven't had sex with this person in 2 months...this isn't right" and soon as I made that realization, all the love and affection pretty much just bled out of me.

Along with "Too Tired", here's a sample of other lame ass excuses used by females:

There's the famous "Mother-In-Law" excuse, where an impending visit from a prissy "in-law" is considered such a turn-off that your partner needs a week or so before and after the visit.

"The Kids might hear" - Gawd forbid that the kiddies know that mom and dad did the dirty deed

The ever-popular "Desk Clerk" excuse - Oh, that creepy hotel desk clerk knows we are here to "do the nasty". I'm sooo embarrassed that I just can't get in the mood.

I'm too tired for sex at night, but I set my alarm 30 minutes before I need to be up so I can get all over it in the morning.

Many Americans are tired from not exercising, rather than sleep, have low testosterone and libido due to being overweight, and no one wants to consider them having sex.
 
2010-03-09 06:14:22 PM
I don't know why men always blame women, my boy only wants it about 2 times a week in comparison to my 5+. Yeah it bums me out, but I guess he doesn't feel up to it (no pun intended). It's not just the ladies fellas.

Subby's mom wears me out, so I'm too tired for my wife.
 
2010-03-09 06:15:24 PM
I don't think the other person's sleep should be an obstacle.

/just make sure they're only sleeping
