Celibacy To Spite You With, My Dear

Damn my weak and willpowerless soul. All I wanted was to check my e-mail, but when I saw the news link titled “Church Offers Sex Challenge” I just had to go and click on it. Dear God, how I wish I hadn’t done that:

A southwest Florida church issued a challenge for its married members this past Sunday: Hanky panky every day. Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth says the 50 percent divorce rate was the catalyst for The 30-Day Sex Challenge.

"And that's no different for people who attend church," Wirth said. "Sometimes life gets in the way. Our jobs get in the way."

Oh, and the flip side of the challenge? No rolling in the sheets for the unwed.

That last part’s a relief, because it means I can, in fact, have sex during the next month without being creeped out by the thought that I’m doing something officially approved by a pastor in Ybor City, Florida.
