Baltamour blogger Maryann James highlighted some choice bits from Joe Burris' story about the Denver couple, who, despondent after leaving happenin' Baltimore, decided to have sex for 101 days in a row. It hit bookshelves right on the heels of another book about a couple doing it 365 days in a row.
These books about sex could be a natural response to couples' desire to stay at home during the market's low points, according to psychotherapist Barton Goldsmith.
"Recession is good for relationships," he said. "People don't want to go out so they can cocoon, and sex can be fun for many couples. It beats the hell out of Monopoly. ... Reclaiming the spark of romance is always a timely subject."So, economic distress can have some benefits ...
