For some reason, I’ve been getting spam about Viagara and counterfeit watches— DAILY— for many moons.
I am not a man, and I don’t wear a watch. Or buy counterfeits, for that matter.
Still, one ad impressed me; the message was entitled “Be Even More Successful in Bed“.
Flattery: always the best marketing tool.

I’ve always wondered: What defines “Success in bed”? The easiest explanation would be a baby, if you ask me. You definitely succeeded if you ended up with a baby.

Insomniacs would rate “sleeping through the night” as EXTREME success in bed.
But I DO like babies an awful lot, your argument has merit…

I have 2 boys and a little lady on the way… Being “Even More Successful in Bed” is just about the last thing I wish to accomplish at this point. -_-;
Although after living with a nearly-two-year-old for awhile now I think I would define ’success in bed’ as being able to laydown and close my eyes for more than an hour without having my little explorer try to ‘help’ by picking my nose for me while I slumber.
If you’ve never awoke to this unique experience, concider yourself lucky.

I DO feel pretty lucky, now that you bring it up…

I got an ad today entitled “IT’s help you to make you bed games longer”. Just what I always wanted.

If we’re talking bed games here I definitely would not suggest Monopoly, those little houses are sharp.
Incidentally, does wearing your pajamas into other rooms of the house constitute making bed games longer? cuz I’ve long been a fan of James’ “no pants till noon on Friday ” rule.

No, no, you have to be in/on a bed in order to be playing bed games. I just made the rule.

So hauling a futon mattress up a steep flight of stairs to a loft would not be a bed game, then? You would be sort of under the bed, shouldn’t under count??? and unless you’re a real grouch it would be a playful event….

Under the bed…. might count? Beats me. I AM a real grouch, though.
