AVOID THE VALENTINE’S DAY WHOOPIE

An L.A. sex therapist is advising couples that it may be in their best interest to “create a pause” on whoopee on the so-called most romantic day of the year. Sex therapist Laura Berman says, “I had so many couples coming to me after Valentine’s Day so disappointed in themselves, in their relationship and in their partner that they didn’t have this Earth-shattering, sensual and romantic experience. They’re thinking their relationship is doomed, and it creates all this pressure. There’s this expectation that this day you have to have sex … I don’t like putting pressure on any one day because it creates so many expectations and performance anxiety.” She suggests doing something thoughtful and fun in lieu of “some idealized romantic extravaganza.” Even going on a simple walk or playing a fun tabletop game can go a long way, she says.
* Good advice, although remember guys, you gotta do the flowers or you’re a dead man.
* My wife and I always hit the batting cages on Valentine’s Day.
* A “fun tabletop game.” Where somebody wins, and somebody loses. Always good for a relationship teetering on the edge.
* And no, she doesn’t mean “Strip down and climb up on the table.”
* Sex without performance anxiety. Doesn’t the Apple Vision Pro have an app for this?
* For Pete’s sake, just hurry up with the sex robots, would you please?
