Wife: Why is it that we're a group of highly educated women, and yet whenever I"m here, the conversation is always about sex?
Economist: Nono, you should've been here this morning. We were talking about, like, newspaper stuff!
Engineer: We had a long conversation about the credit crunch.
LawTwit: And how it's people's fault! They should have, like, stopped buying things and had more sex to occupy themselves.

Moral of the day: Have more sex, save the economy.

Sex is certainly more interesting than the economy, at any rate!

Although it needs to be a pretty good shag to compare to a day of shopping for shoes. I'd take shoe-shopping over an average shag any day of the week. Hell I'd take grocery shopping over a boring shag.

I did hear of people using their Boost the American Economy cheques to buy sex toys... that's what I call an *investment* ;).

Bah, shoe-shopping is overrated. Book-shopping, on the other hand...

You're talking to someone that owns over 40 pairs of shoes - this is AFTER I threw some out before coming to Melbourne! Which reminds me that I just realised this morning two pairs are missing and I need to email my sister and ask if they're lurking somewhere in Adelaide.

Haha, investing in sex toys. There's a sex shop just around the corner from my place that I REALLY want to go into but don't want to go in on my own coz that looks sleazy.

Since when exactly are highly educated women not allowed to talk about sex?

You know, you can get stickers that say Make Love Not War....

Your icon choice causes me to cackle.

Yes, I'm curious as to why education apparently means we should talk about things other than sex. But I do kinda understand- the postgrads do talk about sex, in detail, all the bleeding time, and certain persons among them act as if everyone is having sex, in detail, all the bleeding time. This sometimes bugs *me*, I'm sure it bugs Economist, so naturally it bugs the Wife.

And I not only talk it, I study it. :D

Vern L. Bullough discusses the whole repression of sex and sexuality as a legit field of study in plenty of his books. Handbook of Medieval Sexuality has a big intro on it, and there's an essay by him in "Desire and Discipline", where he talks about how in the 60s he studied sex on the sly because he was scared of other academics thinking he was a dirty old man.
