Been getting any lately?

BERLIN (Reuters) - BMW drivers have more sex than owners of any other cars and are much more active than Porsche drivers, a new German car magazine has found.

The German magazine "Men's Car" found in a survey of 2,253 motorists aged 20 to 50 published in its inaugural May issue that male BMW drivers say they have sex on average 2.2 times each week while Porsche drivers have sex 1.4 times per week.

Following BMW drivers were Audi (2.1), Volkswagen (1.9), Ford (1.7) and Mercedes (1.6). Drivers of foreign car makes were also behind BMW with Italian cars (2.0), French (1.9), Japanese (1.8), Swedish (1.6) and Korean cars (1.5) trailing after.

Among women, French car drivers were top with 2.1 times per week followed by Audi (2.0), Italian (2.0), and BMW (1.9) with Porsche again at the bottom of the scale at 1.2 times per week

Do I dare ask how a person has sex 2.2 times? 2 times, I understand, 3 times I understand, but 2.2????

Statistics like this one reminds me of a recent survey on how many different sex-partners the participants have had..
I can't remember the numbers but the male participants had about 10 times as many different partners (of the opposite sex) as the females.. Now how does that add up?

Then they did a survey about how many people lie about how many sex-partners they have had.. And quite un-surprisingly the women were suddenly way ahead in the game.

The point is..
Statistics are NEVER true! -unless you include every living soul on earth in the survey, and strap them into a lie detector.
Different people will always answer differently. -Some lie more. Some brag more. And some answers are the result of wishfull thinking.

I'm trying hard to make this post about statistics -not BMW drivers.
I'm not quite sure i'm succeeding.. :p

Hey 13 years marriage, still get it everyday, and at 39 wife still has a body most 20 year olds could envy.


Guess I am just lucky.
Yikes. Twice a MONTH (when it's completely unavoidable) is too much. Guess I wore myself out when younger. My girlfriend is 10 years older than I and only looks 20 years older than me! She hates it when people think she's my mother.

Don't know of ANY 20 year olds who could envy my girlfriends body, but we enjoy most "other" things together, so I guess I traded sex for everything else. Hmmm...., maybe I should be looking for a Porche?? A Revel model of course, the only "Porche" I could afford!

This is simple. A mathematical equation must be always be apllied to statistics concerning sex.

For men, subtract 50%-90% of claimed activity. If male's under age 35, percentage subtracted may be as high as 100% of claimed "score." For women, add 10%.

Men, subtract 50% from number of total partners claimed. Add this number to female total.

Yep, sounds about right. But..., what if I can't remember how many?? Or don't really care anyway????

the once a day at least is a very accurate figure. No fudging the numbers.

Wife is attractive enough that isn't hard to do.
ONCE A DAY!!! By G*d man, what are you, perpetually 14 years old????

Someone should look into your diet or something, that's just not right.

Once a month I could see.
