Bigstockphoto_Woman_Looking_Fed_Up_With_Part_3916216 Yes, I took a hiatus from blogging about sex last week.  Look, I'm a psychologist, and we don't disclose a lot that's personal about ourselves, because when a client is in the office, it's all about you.  But I can tell you that it can definitely be more fun to have sex than to blog about it!  And, just as I preach, sometimes putting work aside for pleasure is a very good idea.

But now I'm back, feeling rather, well, refreshed.  And what did I find to share with you?  How about a TresSugar article stating that 8 out 10 Brits would rather sleep than have sex?

Sad, but true. 

What does that say about the quality of most people's sex lives?  They're pretty poor, I'd imagine.  Sex is a thrill, a giggle, but this statistic suggests that it's a bore not worth more than a snore.

To zzzzzzzzz or not to zzzzzzzzzz, that is the question!

I could go with the idea that maybe you get your zzzzzzzzzzz's and then have sex in the morning.  That I get.

(And if dare count to see if I am using the same number of z's  [or, as the Brits say, zeds] in each instance, I swear to guacamole, I'm going to reach out of the screen and pinch your nose.)

But being so exhausted night after night after night?  Isn't that just an excuse?  I mean, the dishes will still be in the sink, the dust bunnies asleep under the bed, the plants still half dead from lack of water, when you wake up in the morning, right?  So why not put aside a few tasks and have sex instead? 

Really, it's okay.  Go on, give yourself permission to have sex instead of doing that extra load of laundry or making next day's lunch.

You might end up with more energy and do all of those tasks with more ease the next day.  Try it, you really might end up surprised.
