10% maybe. Nobody likes me (and I don’t care). ---

Except in case of death or dismemberment\*, 100%. \*See what I did there? See? See? 😉 ---

Sex, drugs, rock&roll. All three are a given. 100%. ---

I’d like to say 100%, but I’m not the only one involved in the decision. Of course - The 88 year old man announces that he is getting married again. To a 23 year old. One of his friends takes him aside, and says, “You know, with such a large age differential, sex presents a risk of, well, death!” He replies, “Then I guess I will have to get another wife.” Regards, Shodan ---

Less than average, say, 25%. Haven’t seen my girlfriend since I moved here for work almost two years ago, and I don’t know if I’m ever going to make it back there again. ---

I’d say pretty close to 100% - close enough that I wouldn’t want to have to invent the concept of epsilon and limits to see just how close. ---

After 5 years of post-widowhood dating that mostly bored me or scared me, I’ve pretty much bagged the dating scene. And I don’t do one-nighters, no matter how itchy the itch gets. Ergo, unless I somehow fall over Mr. Right in the street somewhere, I’d say probably zip zilch zero. This is not to say I’m wildly happy about that projection. lol ---

I’m looking forward to it after I get home from my business trip. I’m also looking forward to seeing how people respond for a second time in a day or two saying “See! I told you I’d get some!” ---

100%. If I go to a certain party I was invited to this Friday night, between 300-1200%. 😃 ---

I hesitate to type “100%” since there are no guarantees in life but…I’m married and my wife and I are still attracted to each other (in MANY ways) and we are both physically capable of engaging in that particular act so let’s say…99.9999% chance.
