Summary
By the way, the 273 "other" responses were dominated by "outdoors," "places we could get caught," "the shower," "the floor" and a variety of other horizontal surfaces or arrangements on living-room furniture. The most innovative locales - if not the most accommodating - were "ambulance," "trampoline," "grandmother's electric wheelchair" and "Town Meeting Day in a voting booth." (We'll ponder that next week at the polls!)
There are so many choices here, it's easier for us to summarize. Just under a third of survey respondents checked "condoms," while about a fifth use "the pill." Interestingly, the third most frequent answet was "vasectomy/hysterectomy" - this, of course, linked to age. Next in line was "not applicable," which we'll attribute to homosexuality and menopause. But after that came "pulling out." Remarkably, 10 percent of respondents in their thirties, who should know better, use this method. Just for the record, it's notoriously ineffective. So is "prayer," which eight respondents say they rely on. Speaking of religious beliefs: For all the hoopla about the "morning-after pill," we noted that not a single one of our respondents uses it. Fifteen opt for "celibacy," which makes us wonder about the 3 1 individuals in the survey who claim to be virgins. Hmm.Women of all orientations decreed any number of movies sexy, from Shortbus to Tipping the Velvet to Atonement ("Against the bookcase!"). But there was one clear winner here: Unfaithful, a drama in which Diane Lane steps out on husband Richard Gere. "I want to say Ghost because I think that's what you're supposed to say for this question, but I'm going to have to go with Diane Lane and Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful," a twentysomething reported. "Cheating gets me wet." (Amusingly, another female respondent specified only ". . . not the clay scene in Ghost.") One woman encapsulated the appeal of Lane's walk on the wild side: "To me it's wrong that she cheated on her husband, but the hot and steamy, passionate sex she and her lover [had] always reminds me of the first time I had sex with any of my partners."See the full content of this document

Stimulus Package
Everyone is hoping President Obama's gazillion-dollar stimulus package will save the flailing American economy, or at least begin to stanch the hemorrhage. Meanwhile, one Vermont business has lit on a recession-proof revenue generator: sex. The Weston-based Vermont Country Store - of lucrative direct-mail-catalogue fame - has generated huffy letters from hundreds of uptight customers since it added sex-enhancing products to an otherwise wholesome line of merch, according to a recent report from the Associated Press. (Want the Synergy Pleasure System with your pine-tar soap? No problem. That'll be $89.95.) Introduced by a senior member of the Orton family, 67-year-oM Lyman, the racy items simply address a common conundrum: How to keep the drive alive over a certain age? Talk about home remedies.
With or without sensual aids, a romp in die sack is still an affordable pastime. Just ask the randy-pants readers of Seven Days....See the full content of this document
