A leading psychiatrist was giving a lecture in front of a large audience, and he told the crowd, “My research has shown conclusively that, contrary to popular belief, the only significant cause of depression is lack of sexual intercourse. To put it simply, the less often people have sex, the more depressed they become.”
The audience began murmuring its disagreement with the psychiatrist, so he said, “All right- let’s do a brief experiment. How many people here have sex every day?”
A small number of people stood, and all of them were smiling from ear to ear.
“Now,” said the psychiatrist, “How many people here have sex at least once a week?”
A larger group stood, and while they weren’t as happy as the first group, they all looked content.”
“Next,” said the psychiatrist, “How many have sex several times a month?”
Another large group stood, but this group looked a bit irritable, rather grouchy.
“Okay,” said the psychiatrist, “Who here has sex once a month?”
A few dozen people stood. Some looked morose, others looked ready to bite someone’s head off.
“You see?” asked the psychiatrist. “Now, who has sex a few times a year?”
A few dozen more people stood, and they all looked gloomy, depressed, nearly suicidal.
“Finally,” said the psychiatrist, “Who has sex once a year?”
In the back, an extremely ugly guy jumped up and yelled “Woo hoo! Me! Me! Once a year, once a year! Yippee!!!” He was the happiest, most joyful man anyone had ever seen.
The psychiatrist was crestfallen, saying, “This really blows a hole in my theory. But tell me… if you only have sex once a year, why are you so happy?”
“TODAY’S THE DAY!!!”
