Post lifestyle reporter Doug Brown and his wife, Annie, were featured on NBC’s “Today Show” this morning discussing a book about their sex lives. Doug Brown wrote the book after Annie suggested that they have sex every day for 100 days. She said, after 14 years together, their sex life had become stale. “Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned on their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!),” details the journey. “Immediately, I had second thoughts,” Annie Brown told interviewer Ann Currie in this morning’s interview. “When I would tell my girlfriends about it, immediately, their mouths would drop open and they’d ask, ‘Are you crazy?'” “You couldn’t do this for the rest of your life … it was exhausting,”said Doug Brown.
But he recommends couples push themselves at least once a week, regardless of fatigue. Annie Brown said there were lasting benefits after the experiment was over. “I think what we really learned is that we have to take care of each other more and pay attention to each other in a way that we hadn’t since the early days of our marriage,” she said. “It wasn’t just the sex, we were constantly hugging each other. And that has lived on. We touch more,” said Doug Brown.
Awwwww, now that’s just disgusting… and do we really need to know about this?
Have we totally run out of news? Or has the news decided to play the ratings game.What kind of reputation will they get from this kind of reporting??
I don’t see why this is newsworthy. My girlfriend and I have sex every morning when we wake up (obviously we live together). The only exception is when one of us is out of town.
Writing a story about a couple having daily sex is like writing about the sunset. It’s nice, but there is nothing remotely unique or special about it.

#33,Viking707,
And how old are you ?
You are living together for how long ?
Surely, you are not over 35 and haven’t been living together for 10 years or more.
If you answered yes to both. WOW ! Amen !
Give me your tricks because a lot of guys like me would like to know 😉
I have a theory that when you get married, the metal in the wedding band decreases the willingness to have sex after a few years. I asked this to a co-worker and she said that is why she doesn’t wear her wedding band ! Love that ! 🙂
“Honey, its 10 o’clock. Let’s get this over with!”
We are both 44. We’ve been living together for about 3 1/2 years. There is no secret or “trick to it”, it’s just the way we’re wired.

I had sex 100 times in 5 days with a new girlfriend.
Its the same thing.
um.. is this woman post-menopausal or was there a horror movie every month or so?
I doubt Guinness book would come a calling.
