Well, HCFG must surely be an improbable exception to the bulk of us in the throes of 30-something/40-something early middle age. Here, I wait in a nether-zone of desire, stuck between memories of my earlier prowess and that blessed date in early 2011 when the first patents on Viagra start to expire, and chemically-induced virility suddenly costs less than $10 a pop.
Any secrets of his success that he should pass on to you and that you should deign to share with your now-extremely curious readers would be gratefully received.

LOL!
Evidently, HCFG has never been married…
What came to my mind was boring. If you build your whole life that way, there is no time left to enjoy all the other gifts of the universe. Of course, at this stage of my life, I can’t imagine giving up anything I love, just for that.
Man, I just spewed my juice on that one, lol!
Oh! I just realized my last comment — that was not — uh.. oh, you know what I mean!! LOL ;-D
I’m thinking I’d be sore as hell. That’s a LONG time.
But, if the Wife is willing, I’d give it a shot.
Oh yeah. He’s a keeper.
Watch out for chafing.
Okay–but if it’s Colorado, no “cuddling” afterwards–I need to adapt to the thinner air.
And no tickling after I spooge!!
I adapt to the thinner air by rolling over and immediately falling asleep.
That’s a great attitude, maybe. It takes two, like the song said. Sooooo, I’m not asking, just, I think it’s a good idea, compared to most things in Guinness Book of World Records..
I like how I think your life is going lately. I’d give that record a shot. It’d take some strategic planning but we’re good at that. So are you and the ‘Pro” hot cute guy gonna give it a shot?
I’m be more impressed if they had sex 101 times in a single day.
Your one-word comment is the bestest ever!
I read the article. They said the average American has sex 66 times a year. I just realized that the year is half over and I’m going to need to do a lot of catching up in the second half of this year. So yeah, the 101 sounds pretty high to me. In past days, I probably would have responded with, “Amateurs,” as well. Now I’m so obviously one of those amateurs. *sigh*
Sounds like you’re getting some good exercise; you go girl
I’m SOOOO loving these comments! All I can say is, go for it! And if you have to leave a lunch date early with me, I won’t ask any questions!
The whole “Amateurs” thing started with a fortune cookie we got at a Chinese restaurant: “With a solid foundation, all things are possible.” One of us said, “All things? Like getting back the stamina we had when we were 22?”
Most people let preconceptions of how they should act at their age get in the way of having fun. Imagine how much fun you miss out on if you “act your age” all the time.
40-Something. It’s the new 20-Something.
Yes I saw them being interviewed on the Today Show. Sounds exhausting! I felt so inadequate when they were talking. I think they are full of crap and just want to sell a book!
Wait–I clicked on the link:
1) He had sex with THE SAME WOMAN once a day, for 101 days.
2) He wrote a book about it.
That would seem to be a really boring book.
The literary equivalent to “Groundhog Day” or “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.”
I mean, WTF?
It would just be the same thing over and over again.
That’s like me doing 200 sit-ups a day for 101 days and writing a book about it…
(Wait–he got an advance, right? I just got an idea…)
The title of the book is, “Just Do It.”
This is why publishers reserve contractual control over the title:
The book should have been called, “101 Douchebaggian Nights.”
I read the article and even shared with JB. He grunted. Once men reach their 50s they grunt all their answers. The key is deciphering the grunts. I’m not sure it was a grunt in agreement of the concept or a grunt of disapproval.
But, personally, I think the 101 concept has its advantages…
Well, THAT sounds like a delightful time!
What is this “sex” you talk of?
Hey!
I’m over 50 and I think my answer was very elaborative!
Arrested–in its own way–but highly responsive.
*Grunt*!
Anyway, this book would have been more douchetastic if there had been some way he could have written this pseudononymously and not told his wife.
E.g.:
“Day 5–I am already fantasizing about Erin Esurance as I mount this same woman to pursue this fruitless, Sisyphean task. Why did I agree to this–knowing that, under Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 I cannot be knighted? Like the road to hell, I had the best intentions. I was trying to be a cautionary tale to ALL MEN…’Thrust, release; thrust release’–will this monotony never end?”
“Day 30–Gasping, I gaze at the headboard. I seem to see a mirage of a wheat field basked in a halo of golden light. My Lawrenceville, Kansas childhood home? Is this what heaven is like? Beneath me, the beast moans like Medussa. Am I trapped between heaven and hell? My existence must be an Existential metaphor for all men…”
“Day 90–I cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision — I cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath — ‘The horror! The horror!’ I heard the response: ‘Mistah Kurtz, he is dead…’”
Zen, darlin’, we gotta get you some help! Good to see you’re having fun, LisaB. Way to go!
It’s not so much the concept that rocks (it sounds kind of shaky to me, attempting to stabilize a relationship by turning sex into a chore, like Blog365), but HCFG’s comment rocks hardcore.
Do you need two people?
Can I just add “LMAO” to the long line of comments already there?
LMAO!
Ppppfffttt…..
Please, I’d call it quits after the 14th day. I ain’t as tough as I used to be…..
Btw, finally got ya re-blogrolled
only 101? sheesh!
@marty–
You gave me an idea–after they get this cloning stuff down, I think my clone and I could actually pull this off…
Bwahahahahaha!
Given your lack of recent posts, guess you and the man are really testing out the Colorado couple’s theories…
I am seriously dying…I cant even believe these people wrote that book…they must have lost some weight and serious sleep in the process..
Other titles that are better than “Just Do It”:
“One Hundred Years of Scrotitude.”
“I, Fembot.”
“Just Douche It.”
“Brideshead Revisited.”
“To Shag the Sameoldbird.”
“Play It As It Sprays.”
“Tess of the d’Ouchebervilles.”
(Okay–I was kind of reaching with that last one…)

Best. Comments. Ever.
Bravo, everyone!!!
I read about this. All I thought about for the lady was ‘ooooow.’
Your secret is safe with me Lisa. Now get started!
)
Another woman wrote a book, “365 Days,” in which she, the wife, “gave” her husband sex for a year for his 40th birthday. He had the option to turn her down, and he did a few times.
They also said they grew closer.
Since I haven’t read either book, I don’t know if they fantasized that they were having sex with someone else, say George Clooney or Brad Pitt.
But, same person or not, “chore” or not, I am all for having sex. Lots of it. I mean, why not????
