I’ll give you an idea of how the proper mindset can convert anything to sex: You’re ordering lunch for a group of coworkers. Your boss pokes his head into your cubicle and says “Don’t forget to order drinks, too.” Your mind goes …_Drinks? People buy drinks at bars. People go to bars to find other people to have sex with. I wonder if my boss …eeeewww! Don’t think about that! Don’t think it! No mental image! Puppies, think about puppies. Cute little playful puppies …_ Example two. You’re buying a new car. The salesman is pointing out to you the spacious backseat. \*Yeah, the backseat. I wonder if those seats recline? \* Three. You find yourself thinking _What I wouldn’t give for an obscene telemarketer …_ ---

I am of a simple ilk. So yes. If fact, when those cosmetic ads come on, I have a urge to buy lots of product in the hope of attracting women. Don’t get me started on the large amounts of body-sprays and breath mints I’ve got. And remember, if you have the right mindset, anything can be a sexual innuendo. In fact, I’m think of it _right now_. 😃 ---

Who needs to just think about it? I was thinking about sex during sex today;) ---

(Funny quote from Tom and Ray from [http://cartalk.cars.com](http://cartalk.cars.com)) “According to Runner’s World Magazine, 66% of runners think about sex while running, and 8% think of running during sex.” “Oh, I get it. Women must’ve made up 34% of the sample.” I question that statistic. I’m a regular runner (6 miles at a time, 3 times a week), and I think about sex at least once every time I’m running. With all that bouncing up and down, coupled with passing females on the street, how can one not think about sex? Let me know your opinion if you’re a regular runner. ---

I think sex is the root of all evil. ---

Regular runner here and I do think about sex when I run. Not every time but often. ---

Yes. Why should today be any different than any other day? ---

Actually, I’m considering running for one of the minority seats on the Philadelphia City Council in 2011 or 2015, but I can’t think of what party I’d like to run as. Yes, I am abnormal. ---
