Science for the betterment of life
Rbelle and I were talking a while back (after that sex post) about what would happen if we had sex with our husbands every night for a week. No, really. EVERY NIGHT FOR A WEEK. Would the world really be as rosy and cheery as the movies say? Or will the house be much more clean? Would Mr. Flinger (or Mr. Belle, respectively) be chipper with flushed cheeks? Would the birds sound louder?
We’re going to find out…..
Mr. Flinger and I have decided to see what happens should we.. Ahem.. “do it” a bakers week. That’s 8 times in 7 days. No kidding. I don’t think that’s happened since we were first married. .. wait.. if it even DID happen then.
So, I’ll update daily and changes I see. Oh, lord, is this TMI? No, it’s not. You can choose not to read. I won’t post ABOUT our.. ahem.. “act.” But I’ll let you know what is going on in the Flinger house as a scientist observes the daily mating rituals of two sleep deprived humans with a young baby.
So, here ya go:
Day #1 overview: So tired. Both. SO TIRED. Could go to sleep at 7pm. Baby goes to bed at 7pm. We get ready for bed. Until… After? So awake. SO EFFING AWAKE. And.. here I am. Blogging. Mr. Flinger? Also awake. We’re irritated.
Day #1 conclusion: failure: Both Mr. and Mrs. Flinger irriated and wide awake now.
Day #1 homework: For you… don’t you usually FALL ASLEEP AFTER? Should it not be RELAXING? ‘Cause I could clean the house top to bottom. Damn. Maybe I’ll do that.
Day #2: Much like day #1. He’s sleeping. I’m not. Doing Laundry. Blogging. Paying bills. *sigh* Note to Internet: NO NIGHT SEX. Not if you want to sleep. Ever. Also, my girl parts have not been training for this. AT ALL. The good news? He’s smiling more. So far so good.
Day #3- last night? Nadda. Damn, it IS more work than fun sometimes. I mean, we’re both “movers and shakers” now. He worked out (!!) and I cleaned and did bills (!!) but I have to wonder if we did that to avoid sex, ya know? Because y’all.. I’m not a young spring chicken anymore. My poor girlie parts. Two days in a row? Ouch. Mr Flinger said last night, “We’ll just do it twice tomorrow.” 8 times in 7 days? I think we’ll be pushing two or three times a day at the end if we’re going to make it.
On the other hand, we DID do bills and workout and clean. That says something.
Day #4: had to catch up. Made up for day #3. Mr. Flinger’s official take on the challenge? “Best idea ever.” Also, he says everyone needs to do this. Apparently, it’s going well.
Day #5. Seuss kindly pointed out that I didn’t put an update yet. I tellya, this sex thing has it’s ups and downs. (oh, get it? I made a funny!) I mean, we’re the same really. Tired as all hell. Grabby. (yes, “G"rabby. Not just crabby.) We had the biggets fight last night, not really a fighty fight, but a fight, about how unfair it is that “YOU” get to sleep while “I” take more shifts, bladdy bladdy, boring married-with-baby talk. The result? Not in the mood. Guess we’ll be pulling a double shift again to make up. Can I official say I’m ready for the challenge to be over? If I see a wanky again in the next month, it’ll be too soon.
Updated**
Day #6 and 7 (cause it aint happenin’ tonight either)
Alright. We’re old or something. This was a great idea to start out with and if any of you do it, you must (read: M-U-S-T) tell us how it goes. But we’re done. You know how you start a diet all gung ho (hehe.. I said ho) and then you couldn’t care less by day 3? Well, we made this to day 5. That’s pretty good, right? Oh, who am I kidding. We’re old and tired and have a teething baby. *sigh*
We’ve decided instead of a diet to make a lifestyle change. “Ain’t two times a month good ‘nuff for ya, baby?” he said. NO IT’S NOT. (Oh, but he was kidding) We’re aimimg for some regularity, something more tangable. Some sort of “sex life” that we could call it. Instead of .. what.. once a month? Maybe? (these were lean times, mind you. We had a BABY. There is no sex before, during, or after that. Not that you must be reminded of that fact.)
So, do let us know, for the betterment of life, how your challenge goes. Right here. I’ll put this post under “most popular posts,” since it is, and you can let us know what happens.
You might just get some flowers and breakfast made for you out of the deal.

Well, I think it is appropriate that I be first to comment. First of all, I am glad there is a password becuase I am not following through on said experiment at the current time. Mr. Belle can wait until IUD is properly installed. I mean, two under two is a cute saying but three under three? Means you are a gahdamn fool.
I cannot believe I am typing this, BUT…Last month we did it 10 days in a row, and by day 5 the hubs walked into the bedroom ( I was already in bed) and said “If you are naked under those covers I’m sleeping on the couch.” I was, he didn’t (hence the 10 days in a row thing), but it was not all fun and games. Here’s hoping it will be better for you two!
Oh good golly girl, what the hell are you thinking? I have never done it more then 3 days in a row..haha 8 times in 7 just sounds down right foolish! lol good luck! I will be curious to see what happens..hopefully nothing breaks from being overly used.
ROFLMAO! You guys are so damn funny! I have been conducting a similar experiment around here… though… WOW… I can’t say I’ve been quite as umm.. gungho (heheh… I said “ho”) about it as the Flingers. 8 times in 7 days? You’re freakin’ crazy.
Btw, yes on the totally awake after thing… for ME at least. I remember some comedian a long time ago making a joke about the guy falling asleep and the woman going out back to dig a pool…
OMG, 8 times in 7 days! Is that even possible?!?!? No, seriously, this sounds like it is going to be an interesting experiment. If you get some good results we may have to try a similar thing here…but it won’t be 8 times in 7 days I can assure you. Maybe 8 times in a month. Hehehe.
As for the being awake after…yes definitely for me too. Hubby does not have that problem and goes immediately to sleep.
Once again you’re crackin’ me up! When we first got married it was 2 and 3 times a day! Now he’s lucky to get it 2 or 3 times a week! Which I know is better than some, but I start feeling guilty!
omg les… don’t you have enough to do in a day?
p.s. is oma reading this?
LOL! Dude, I want to join in the fun. I always wondered if we’d be happier. I know John would do more for me if I was giving him sex. He is always ready to go run my errands after i give him a little.
When John and I first Dated we had sex like 2x a day. So we are used to the schedule. I am going to let him know tomorrow that we have to have sex every day.
Best of luck to you Flingers!
When we first moved in together we did it like 6 times a week. Though I think Ben was trying to out do my last boyfriend, one weekend “vacation” we had sex 17 times in 3 days, yeah the silly man counted but I’m the stupid one for telling Ben! Way to make a guy feel bad, for months he’d pout that’d he’d never be as good or energetic as ex-boyfriend. I had to tell him THANK GOD, I could hardly walk for a week after that and peeing, ouch, my poor girl parts were not happy with me when the weekend was over (but they were during! haha).
Now Ben and I average about 3-4 times a week and half those days we do something sexual more than once.
Haha - OMG Sarah - G knows that I have had sex in a car and TO THIS DAY he stills says - come on we haven’t done it in here. The car or the boat he shoots for every year. Hasn’t happened yet and I doubt that it will.
Les - have fun! I do have to say that after all those comments on the last sex post - our life has had a little more spring in its step (but poor man I got him going and now there is just nothin left until this work crap is done with!).
I am tellin ya - check out Cosmo. There are some fun but VERY WEIRD ideas in there!
And I am always awake after. That’s why we have a tv in our bedroom. Him - I can tell when he stays up when we first get in bed he is looking for some. And then he is out like a light afterwards - but at least he is cuddling!
oh brother. if i wanted the same experiment with Shan he’d get all pissy for ‘putting him on the spot’. And it would never happen. Right now work is in the way of any semblance of a sex life, and when that calms down it’ll be the kids. In fact, what is sex? I don’t even know what a dingaling looks like anymore.
cough.
Sounds like a fun experiment! I told Kevin we should give it a shot. I mean, we are newlyweds, right? Of course some of you are putting us to shame already! We’ve got some catching up to do! I told him about it and he said it sounded tiring. So yes, I’m wide awake afterwards and he’s out like a light within minutes. No wonder it’s “tiring”! Typical male.
ROFLMA.. Y’alls comments are awesome. I have great readers. Anne.. don’t know what a dingaling even looks like? Buhahahahaha.
Maiji, HECK NO Oma doesn’t read this. Not because SHE would be upset or embarressed, but because she’d probably say something about her an my DAD and I think I’d gag. LOL
Sarah, I knew you’d have had some insane amount of sex, you randy girl you. I think on our honeymoon it was 3 times in 2 days. That’s a lot for us. 13? Holy canoly.
Rach, lemme know how it goes for y’all! We just might make a better world by putting out more.
Christine, I don’t think Mr. Flinger cares if I blog about it if it means he gets some. heh.
Erin.. you said ho.. haha!
Charla, that happened to us way back when. He came home, I was naked and in bed and he goes, “You better not be naked.” Of course he put out, but I had to promise not to want it again for a few days. (I was very excited about sex back in the day… boy, I bet he misses THOSE days!)
Did you hear what the topic of the Oprah show is tomorrow? “Is Your Sex Life Normal?” I might have to tape it!
All I can say is good luck! I would not even think about doing such an experiment because sleep is far more important to me these days!!
y’all my mom had 3 under 3- Me in Sep 80, Sis in Oct 81 and Bro in Oct 82 + a 4 year old! She agrees, it was INSANE
LOl—- Hmmm you have me thinking.
I may just have to try this little experiment. hee hee
“The good news? He?s smiling more. So far so good.”
Well, you know what they say…a smile on the face is worth two in the bush.
Wait. That’s not right.
*snicker snicker snort*
Mrs. T, beware.. I seriously think you have to work out for this type of activity!
And Charla.. BUHAHAHahahahahahahahah.. thanks for the laugh.
Good Lord something’s gonna fall off….
Maybe I’ll ask Aaron if he’s up for the LESLIE CHALLENGE! I’m sure he will be. He seems to think sex is the cure all. I’ll say in the middle of the night” my right arm and leg keep falling asleep!” he replys"Oh a little sex would cure that” Headaches, backaches, stomachaches, you name it , it’ll fix it!
Whoa Leslie! Are you guys going for a sibling for LB? The only time we did it that much was when we were working on conceiving. Hubby called me a “whip cracker” about it… yeah, he suffered so!!!
Wow! I thought W and I were doing really well having sex once a week after being married for 7 years and having a 4 year old.
WOW…I hang my head in shame *hang*
Bone on, Flingers…bone on!!
Ha - you totally crack me up. See now you just need to substitue your workout for “the workout”. It is exercise and burns calories ya know
Muwaaaa!
Yea, but day #3? Nadda. So, Mari, you’re not alone. And Peacelilly.. 1 time a week IS amazing. Trust me. We’re just trying to work out our average again.
Marie, HELL NO we’re not going for #2. This is just to see if our attitudes can adjust and we can all giddy and happy and get crap done. So far? That’s EXACTLY what’s happened.
But y’all don’t know about this, mmmK? It’s all very hush hush, even though it’s a national challenge now being tried in homes accross the world.
LOL! I wont saying anything to him. I promise….*crossing fingers*....hehehehe j/k I sure as hell wont say anything to Kyle about because..then he would think we had to try it too…..rotfl!
If you get to the point where YOU can sleep after let me know… I am always wide awake afterwards and Mark is sound asleep, that is after blocking out my constant talking from being wide awake!
Nahhh, Raybelle.. we’re all good here at the Flinger house. Just had to take a small break.
TMI? Ah, hell, aint this whole POST TMI?
Did anything fall off you?
Talked with the Mr. and I believe we will be trying out this challange!
Once the period is over you better freakin believe I’m all over this challenge! The hubby? Like he’s gonna protest!
Hubby would be *so* thrilled if I came at him with a challenge like this, although I’d probably have to fight him to keep it down to 8 times in 7 days. Unfortunately, last night we were talking about such matters and I had to break it to him that, no, we cannot go right back into doing it until a few weeks after the baby’s born, at least. Poor guy
But WOO HOO for you and Mr. Flinger! I ber that’s becoming one HAPPY home!
OMG! Where’s the edit? i meant YET not you!!!
AHEM. It’s day 5 now. WHERE is our update? Hmmm?
Thanks for the reminder, Seuss. It’s up! :-D
Liesl.. HAHAHAHHHAHA.. I knew what you mean.
Hahahahahah - okay, I was about to apologize for reminding you, but then the last line KILLED me! Oh you poor thing!
having too much of a good thing?
Day 6 update? Come on I need something to read when I am at work!
ALl right Flingerwoman, you started this, finish it. Whats the deal?
There’s only one reason I would ever have marathon sex, so I tip my hat to the flingers, who wanted to do it just because they like each other!
I’m glad you finally updated about it though, I was beginning to think you spontaneously sex-ploded.
So is he screaming now
“NO MORE YANKY MY WANKY!”
We start this challenge tomorrow. I’ve told Ben to get his man parts ready
We tried the challenge and failed miserably. I should have known on Day 2 when hubby said in a very unenthusiastic tone…“well, I guess if we’re going to do this, we should go do it…” that it wasn’t going to turn out well. Day 3…nada. By Day 5, we called it quits. It’s just not the same when you take away the spontaniousness. (Is that even a word?) Like anything, when it becomes a “chore” it’s not fun anymore. Lesson learned.
Good luck Sarah! I’m sure y’all will rock your own sox off. Do let us know, mmK?
And Paige-O. I HEAR DAT! I believe Mr. Flinger said, “If it’s a chore, it’s not so fun.” Exactly. Although.. for us it’s hard to be TOO spontaneous.
Day one was a major success, two excited happy folks afterward (and during, ooohhh the during!)! And Miss Anna was kind enough to wait till we were panting heaps in the bed before wailing! Sweet girl!
Oh I forgot to ask- the mister wants to know if oral sex and mutual masturbation (ok can’t believe I’m writing this in your comments!) counts or is this 8 in 7 days strictly intercourse?
Ok, so I asked Mr. Flinger about it, and he thinks if both people get there, or if one person doesn’t and the other does but you were both into it, that counts. Also, anyway you want to “get there” is fair game.
I tell ya, the Flinger Sex Challenge will be a smashing hit in International Relations here in a few years. I also really think we could curb all road rage if more people had more sex. Heh.
Oh Mrs. Flinger we failed you… 6 times in 7 days… who new two kids would leave such little time for lovin! But, the hubby has enthusiastically proclaimed that we shall try again this week
I’ll blog about it one of these days lol
