Hogamous, Higamous,
Man is polygamous,
Higamous, Hogamous,
Woman, monogamous.
There are many theories concerning who wrote this, (and it's been around since the 1930s) but none are provable. The non-traditional sex columnist Dan Savage often cites the term 'monogamish' when discussing inherent safety valves in a long relationship, but insists that if implemented, this state must apply to both parties in the couple.
Then there's the 'Coolidge Effect', named after President Calvin 'Silent Cal' Coolidge. Apparently the President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown (separately) around an experimental government farm. When Mrs. Coolidge came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, "Dozens of times each day." Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being informed, the laconic President asked, "Same hen every time?" The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time." And Silent Cal deadpanned, "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."
After 14 years with the lovely KT, I am now and again beset by vile thoughts involving a squad of cheerleaders, some wallpaper, leopardskin swim fins and a digital postal scale, but somehow manage to contain myself.
Interesting cameraphone effect of KT asleep on our sofa, presumably dreaming of seven or eight well-muscled, hygienic, splendidly endowed and circumcised pirates whose ship features a sunken tub on the afterdeck (complete with lots of fluffy towels) in which she can relax happily post-ravishment while they present her with tea, chocolates, and an assortment of fat Persian kittens.
