Would You Sell Your Sex Life for $20?
The following classified recently ran in my local paper:
Needed for research
University of Arkansas – Psych. Dep. seeks romantic couples to participate in interviews on relationship and sexual satisfaction. Couples will get $20 gift cards.
Whoa, now. Twenty bucks? How romantic do you suppose a couple would have to be to consider this a date night activity? And where do you think the gift card is redeemable? Harp’s? One can only hope it’s a pre-paid Visa.
I wonder if the couples will have make up sex after the fight over how to spend the $20.
Sounds like a follow up interview.

I wouldn’t SELL my sex life for twenty bucks. But I’d rent it out for an afternoon.
I thought you meant like never have to do it again sell it-like give it away and not have to be awoken in the middle of the night ever again with something poking you in the back and I was all like, “YEAH, where do I sign up??” That’s not what you meant, though.
DeNae – I agree, but only if the card’s to Williams Sonoma.
Candance – If it’s strong enough to poke you, to wake you from a sound sleep, I’d say you ought not give it up too easily.
great, another thing I cannot participate in b/c I’m single.
Jessica: Other stuff you can’t do: other people’s nasty laundry, get along with family members who cannot offer you an organ, receive complaints that you’re turning the pages of your book too loud in bed at night. There is justice.
