"Honey, it's Tuesday..." |

Recently, a person I know told me that she and her husband have a sex schedule, meaning they "do it" three nights a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
She had multiple reasons for implementing the schedule, mostly because they have small children and thanks to fatigue or jam-packed days, they weren't getting around to the deed on a regular basis.
She said the sex schedule really works well for them. They can squeeze in sex at any time during the given day, with the unfortunate side that sometimes there is too much discussion about exactly when and where it's going to go down.
Either spouse can opt out if, for example, someone has a headache. Also, there are bonus nights, in the case of birthdays or, I dunno, Christmas.
Years ago, I might have found this extremely unromantic, and actually, a part of me still does. This might sound depressing to newlyweds or those still in the "honeymoon" phase of their relationship.
However, from a parents' perspective, I totally understand the need for such a formal commitment. For many moms and dads, caring for kids isn't the kindling needed to stoke up a post-bedtime night of fiery passion.
I'm not exactly scheduling copulation on my Google calendar, but I get it.

Any parents will tell you that this is sometimes the best way. Spontaneity is the best and it's great when that can happen but try getting a sitter at short notice so the two of you can get it on. Fat chance.

Planning sex? That's like forecasting a freakin' rainbow. Come on, live a little ladies. A little nightly quickie never hurt anyone.

Sorry not feelin' that at all, it's gotta be spontaneous for both sides or it's not, nor do I want it to happen.

Oh Yea Girl, Tonight we're gonna make love You know how I know? Because it's Wednesday And Wednesday night is the night that we usually make love Tuesday night is the night that we usually go to your mother's place and I teach her how to use the video machine again But Wednesday night is the night that we make love When everything is just right You're not too tired from your afterwork social netball team practice There's nothing good on TV. Mmmmm... Conditions are perfect for making love. You turn to me and say something sexy like, "I might go to bed. I've got work in the morning." I know what you're trying to say, baby. You're trying to say "Aww, yeah. It's business time."
