Tough Times Could Lead to Sex BoomPosted on Dec 1, 2008
It seems the British have found a way to cope with the global economic crisis. A survey by the Terrence Higgins Trust, a UK AIDS charity, found that sex is the most popular free activity in the empire, beating out window shopping and going to a museum.

This is traditionally the trend, the United States had a huge baby boom after WW2 once the GI’s got home. The population spiked big time, hence of course, the baby boomer generation.
Awesome comment by the way Harges…classic

That scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer where Myers, as the very Scottish dad, sings “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” comes to mind.

All this time, the intellectuals told us the French were the great lovers!

Believe me, I am sure that there are consultants somewhere trying to find ways to require people to pay in order to have sex. Capitalism, after all, has to commodify *everything* - and nothing must be more galling to the billionaires than the idea that a poor person can get off just as much as they can.

My Scottish mother who was around in the 30s refers to sex as the poor man’s pleasure. Sure that 43% of Scots isn’t low?

Reminds me of a line from a classic movie, “Mein fuhrer, I can walk!”

What about masturbation? Seems like an even more popular time waster to me.

Sex rears its ugly head again!
(remember folks, good sex can get you through bad economic times better than good economic times can get you through bad sex.)

Well, that certainly makes sense based on past experience. Think of the 70s recession in the US - it was a total sleeze-fest!
