The Not-so-sexy Pyramid

The latest news in the sex therapy world is the “sex pyramid.” Like the food pyramid, it lists different categories of sex that are essential for a balanced sex life.

The sex pyramid suggests couples in long -term relationships engage in different types of sex in order to maintain a fulfilling love life. The pyramid compares it to the idea that just how eating cupcakes daily would get old after a while, no matter how tasty they may be, having the same type of sex would also become dull.

This information is nothing more than a regurgitation of old information packaged into a new box, or in this case, a pyramid.

It is no more innovative than announcing that staring directly at the sun is bad for your eyesight. Watching Top Gun over and over again would also lose its luster if that were the only movie you could watch. The target of any sex therapy program is to encourage variety. Restating this on the Today Show is only a way to fill open airtime because Jamie Oliver was unavailable to show us how to create the perfect chicken marinade.

Of course anything repetitive is boring and sex is no exception. What is so intriguing about this?

If your sex life is boring then there are probably underlying issues  that should be addressed before erecting the pyramid. For example, you married a boring person, or maybe you’re the boring one and no pyramid, rectangle, or trapezoid will be able to save you.

So I tip off my hat to the genius inventor of the sex pyramid and look forward to next week’s geometric surprise.
