Not Getting Laid Watch ’08

Picture 278.pngHey-o, ground breaking study from the Post Institute coming at ya! Though many of you have found that the lower a lady’s self-esteem, the easier it is to cash in, apparently it does not go both ways. According to “experts,” your libidos have “gone the way of the Dow as struggles with economy-related stress, depression and anxiety are at an all-time high.” Two ladies weigh in. A 30-year old Brooklyn lawyer whose boyfriend of six years (…), previously employed by Lehman Brothers, has gotten laid once since her man friend got the ax from BarcLehs two months ago (apparently they were averaging 4 times/week prior to the canning). A fashion flack in her early 30s claims that previously “hot” sex with a “hedge-fund honcho” turned cold once the HFH’s firm started taking it up the A and he got all got all “depressed.” Resident Wall Street therapist, my pal Alden Cass, offers the $500/hour insight that “Finances are imploding, and some of these guys are feeling very guilty for allowing this to happen…They’re dealing with emotional drain, burnout, depression and anxiety. All these things take a toll on sex drives.” So! Is this wildly off base, or ringing any bells for any of you?

    This is one of the few times when the guys who are short get more ass.

    “these guys are feeling very guilty for allowing this to happen”…oh pleeeze! They are worried about their own finances, not anyone elses.

    emotional drain, burnout, depression and anxiety no sex-just like marriage

    Great. Maybe now now you Wall St guys will stop fucking us so hard.
    My ass is tired, my wallet is empty and I can’t take any more of your endless reaming!

    Bess, I’m still long and strong if you’re getting frustrated with the chumps out there these days.

    Not here.
    The time off since the layoff has equated to MORE nookie.

    I always assumed it was because I was a cave dwelling IT troll. This excuse is actually much more acceptable.

    @6
    Agreed. Nobody in their 30′s is putting their spouse/or significant other through a wall 4x a week.
    @8
    ROFLMAO.

    If having a partner isn’t necessary, as part of the survey, then I’ll report having sex 4 times a day.

    Maybe the problem is that after 6 years she’s let herself go…not to mention she’s 30.
    Maybe while she’s at work all day and he’s at home, he’s got 20-somethings over to take care of business. Sounds like some time away from the office is just what he needed.

    Maybe these guys are just having sex with their wives more often.

    “Limp economy”, “own rescue package”, “bailed out of the bedroom”, “citywide sexual recession”, “hit the hay”, “underperforming in bed”…
    Wow, it took all of 3 “reporters” to come up with this dreck. An average DB post + comments has better innuendos than this.

    Stress does the opposite to me. My babe runs from me now, she’s so sore.
    Wonder if the 2 babes in the article need my services?

    Wall street has definitely not stopped f*cking my 401 (K). Post number 15 ~ could’nt agree with you more.

    There is always Craigslist.

    Yo Clown Capital,
    speak for yourself. I put my live-in babe thru the wall at least 4x a week, plus some side action…

    At 23: You’re right..Craigslist had a 2 for 1 thanksgiving special.

    @9 – we have a winner! FLMAO…
    after going to dinner with a crew of married guys (and hearing them lament the demise of married man), I know there is no way the guy is seeing that much action. if you’ve been living with someone for three years, you may as well be married (so join that club). crack kills people, get of the crack.

  29. Posted by guest | December 2, 2008 at 2:52 PM

    @6 is right.
    as any married guy, including me, knows, sex dies a wicked death after the altar. if that doesn’t kill it, having kids will. i get schadenfreude seeing women on the receiving end for once.

    This could be good news for PFE shares.

    #12,
    I’m with you.

    Clown, and others:
    Speak for yourselves. The only nights me and the missus took off during our early 30′s (30-36) were her monthly visits, or my business trips. Don’t whine because you married someone who wasn’t hot enough to keep you up, or you weren’t good enough to keep her interested.
    (Oh, the reason we stopped? Pregnancy; it was too uncomfortable for her after a while.)

    Most men are pathetic. They think being a man has something to do with how well they impress people they don’t know or how well they can fool themselves or how much dough they have.
    Somewhere along the line, these guys didn’t pay attention to what a man is while they were growing up.
    A real man’s adrenaline gets going when times are tough; a real man is kind to others when times are tough; a real man doesn’t whine or blame others; and most importantly, a real man is proud of who he is but acts humbly toward others.

    @33 – EP, is that you?
    xxoo
