Tag: sexual climate

There is an old British nursery rhyme that talks about porridge that is either hot, cold or "in a pot nine days old." I don’t know if the poet ever thought that his poetry could ever be used to describe our sex lives but the comparisons are interesting.

Our married sex does have a temperature, in fact, just like porridge. There is a climate that defines our marriages in general, which naturally spills over into the bedroom. This climate and the resulting temperature can be sizzling hot, blistering cold, lukewarm, or stale and soggy like porridge left lying around for nine days or more—definitely not pleasant to the taste.
