Hockey vs. Sex

I sat last night watching game 6 between the Leafs and the Senators go into double-OT. As Antoine Vermette's pass sailed through the crease, off of Mike Fisher's stick and into the net for the do-or-die victory, I leapt out of my seat, arms raised in the air and shouted "YES!!!!!" I scared the bejeezus out of my wife and temporarily woke my sleeping daughter on the other side of the house.

After a hefty scolding from my wife, I objected with, "But you don't understand - there's not much better in life than playoff overtime hockey!"

Thus opened the sex vs. hockey debate. "What about sex?" she retorted.

It's a close contest, but I wisely didn't say that to my wife. I just wondered what the rest of you thought about it. Pucks or fucks? Stick handling or, well, stick handling? Face off or clothes off? You get the picture...

GBT,

What happened next? Did she roll over and go back to sleep (and prove your point) or present the opposing argument?

Hehe, good question. She wasn't asleep, she was reading a book. But yes, she did keep reading, and I kept watching the highlights, and then we went to sleep. Ahh...the bliss of 7 years of marriage!

I'm just a hockey nut in general. I don't really have any favorite teams, although being in Texas, I'm somewhat partial to the Stars. Like you, disappointment abounded this last week. Freakin' Avs.

I tend to find myself cheering for which ever team is behind or whichever is the sentimental favorite (like Ray Bourque's Avs a few years back).

Right on about Lord Stanley's cup. Some of my all-time favorite commercials were run by ESPN several years ago, and they showed the various members of the team that won the cup and what they did with it during their time with it. One guy bathed his baby in it. Another guy used it as a jello mold. Very funny stuff.

Hockey fanaticism down here is like a grass-roots thing. Nobody really cares, and the local sports coverage would rather focus on Texas Tech University off-season women's volleyball news than NHL playoff action. At least I know when they DO cover the NHL, I'll get a good laugh out of their pronunciation of the players' names. Patrick Roy? Miroslav Satan? Must be pronounced how they look, right? Ha! The funniest one ever is Mike Modano, pronounced with the added tilda over the n: "Mike Modanyo"

Anyway, until West Texas freezes over and the only way to play football is on skates, I'll keep watching the most exciting sport around and try to lure others in with me.
 
Hmm fighting interspersed with sliding about. I'll take sex any time. Now if you said "Sex V. The Beautiful Game" different subject.

This is one of the few areas where I am not Canadian. Don't like hockey.

So it's sex for me.
 
Disclaimer: I have had no interest in sports since my sons played soccer and baseball.

What I really don't get is the idea that watching anything on TV might even be considered better than sex.

Especially hockey, which is immensely better live. It translates very poorly to TV.

Now we begin to understand you better, Perdita. It's like this, there are people who think that sex is primarily, or even solely, for procreation, and those who think it is primarily for recreation with procreation as an optional extra.

For the latter group sex is essentially a sport. Since you have no interest in sport, presumably sex is serious for you, so you don't realise what you are missing.

As a sport, sex is sadly lacking, mostly in duration. When was the last time you had sex go into double overtime after a full sixty minutes of non-stop action?

When you get to my age, you may realise that watching those activities you can no longer perform gives some consolation.

Well, niehter drag racing nor weightlifting goes on for more than a few seconds. But thay are pretty intense seconds, let me tell you. At lest sex lasts longer than that. Hopefully.

Snooper, you've given me new insight. I never thought of sex as a sport, nor competitive (except at crucial moments). Now that I think on it, I do know the exhilaration of overtime, double plays, slam dunks, touchdowns, home runs, etc. Now I know why one bloke kept shouting, "A!, batter, batter, batter!" :p

As for your age, I'm certain I've passed you by. I recommend more sex practice and some form of bran.

Perdita :kiss:
 
He shoots, he scores...

Now, I may be missing something, must they be mutually exclusive? What if we combine the hockey telecast (AV's fan cuz they are here) with your own scoring.

Perdita,
You claim to be eight years younger than I know I am.

I believe that, like all other ladies, you are twenty-one, and will remain so for many years yet.

:rose:
 
Snooper, I had no idea. You truly are young at heart. Mostly I am usually 16, 36 or 46 in mine; depends on the day or man.

Reminds me of the scene in "Mystery Alaska" where Skank is in bed with the mayor's wife. She's on top, leaving him in the perfect position to still enjoy the hockey game showing on the TV at the end of the bed.

In the midst of their passion, he yells, "Yeah!!!" Thinking he's really into the sex, she yells too. "Yeah!!!" Of course, he's really yelling because his team just scored a goal in the game.

Great scene, and I think it just goes to support Mtnman's suggestion. Great idea!

You're right on, Snooper. I checked "sport" in my pocket dictionary. It said "a source of diversion" or "an activity engaged in for pleasure." Sounds like sex to me.

In terms of personal satisfaction and happiness, of course sex is better. In terms of suspense and excitement, well, let me just say that I don't remember the last time I jumped out of the bed, fists pumped in the air, yelling in triumph after having sex. But those double-OT hockey games...
