An idea whose time has come?
A woman from the governing party in Ecuador has proposed that a women’s right to enjoy sexual happiness should be enshrined in the country’s law.
They told me that if Bush was elected president, the government would be peeking into our bedrooms…


Men there are just so…..in between a rock and an unhappy woman. Just how the hell do they plan to enforce such stupidity?
I’m sure plenty would volunteer to “enforce” this.
What a GREAT Law! Ok, all joking aside that is truly ridiculous in all reality. In my opinion, people’s personal lives should be kept private with out government involvement. I agree with Byron makes you scratch your head in wonder as to how on earth they are going to enforce it. Well, you know the US military has some “ridiculous/outdated” sexual “laws” for it’s members come to think of it.
Oh I don’t know Jessica. I think it makes for yet another reason to convince the other half to go for it:
“Honey, I have to do it. Its my duty as a citizen.”
Skippy- you make for a good point but fortunately in my case there need be no convincing. My SO has never had to be a beggar in that department
Lucky for him! *OK Blushing now* TMI!
Jessica, my mind went along similar lines (though I have no SO). Seriously, I must run in the “wrong” crowd because every one of my female friends I know well enough to discuss such things in honest conversation with has a very similar attitude. I mean, what kind of woman finds such things a burden?!
Well, um… probably best that I don’t answer that question (or anyone else answer it, either). LOL
“I mean, what kind of woman finds such things a burden?! “
You never met my ex-wife!
What Skippy-san said. I once bought my second ex a huge bottle of aspirin for those headaches; she did not see the humor in that. Turns out she was doing everybody but me, didn’t need aspirin, she needed a schedule!
Ernie/Skippy- I am sorry about your bad past circumstances. I really was just trying to be silly and lighthearted. I certainly don’t find it amusing or humorous if my wise cracks are at someone else’s expense or makes someone rehash bad experiences. Hope you took no offense to my comments.
Not at all. It just made me jealous!
Jess, no offense at all; I look back and laugh now. My lovely bride of the last ten years is much more like you and FbL and her friend; I am a lucky man indeed.
Wow, there’s some “oversharing” going on here.
How would you enforce this law? Opinion polls of course! http://www.asianoffbeat.com/default.asp?display=1732
Asian countries are just sad. Those men need to try harder (pun intended hee hee). We Italians, on the other hand, rock! Yes, yes, oh….yeeeees!
“Asian countries are just sad”.
Depends on where you are. Thailand and Malaysia are leading the US by 20%. More probably if you are a farang stumbling into the Nana Plaza or up Fields Avenue. Percentage of shots on goal attempts probably go up somewhat.
I noticed with interest that Greece was number one. I could make a great joke about sheep, Greeks and being scared………………
Is it safe to infer that men in Ecuador would not have the same right?
Immediately, popping into my head was a Hero’s Gestapo with German accent yelling, “You vill have an orgasm, and you vill like it!” Good Grief.
Sounds like this woman is taking her personal problems to the country. How embarrassing for her… and her mate. If she has one. Blech.
