If you want to live a long time, the best plan science has to offer (at least until cryogenics technology takes off) is called the CRON diet. It's not nearly as interesting as an anti-aging ray or anything; it stands for "Calorie Restricted, Optimal Nutrition." In simple terms, it says the same thing our parents have been telling us for years: "stop eating so much, fatty. Have vegetables. Jesus you're fat."
My parents are very judgmental.
The reason I bring up the CRON diet is that when embarking upon it, you're supposed to first figure out your "set-point," the weight and fat percentage your body hits when you eat the amount of food you feel like eating, without trying to diet or overeat. Mine is 289 lbs, 33%.
And it occurred to me today, a lot of relationships could be vastly improved if couples took the time to find their "sexual set-point." Which is to say, the amount of sex they'd have if they had sex whenever they felt like it, and didn't when they didn't.
Naturally, unless you're dating your hot identical twin (see my short story in Ravenous Sluts Magazine), this will probably be different for you and your partner. If you have the time and leisure, try letting your significant other determine the sexual schedule for two weeks, then you do the same.
To be honest, I'm not exactly clear on where to go after that, but I feel like it's an experiment that would at least illuminate the often murky sexual needs within a relationship. And hey, you got to have nasty research sex for a month.
If anyone tries this, I'd be very interested to hear different peoples' "sexual set-points," and how you think knowing might change the relationship going forward. Mainly because it would mean people do stuff I tell them to on this blog, paving the way for my post on the "money donated to bloggers set-point."

Huh. That's a novel idea! And I imagine it'd be different for many a couple.
Plus maybe I can tell my mom about this idea so she'll stop telling me that a big home cooked meal once a week, and sex twice a week will keep a man forever. It's TMI city over here now my recently married sister agrees with her too.
Now I really want to see a show called TMI City. Or even better, CSI:TMI City.
Sex and the TMI City or The Real Housewives of TMI City. Both shows that I would watch, but wouldn't admit it to anybody.
