“It is great to be a guy because there's always a game on somewhere.” ~ Anon

“I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures.” ~ Earl Warren

Watching sports calms the nerves and grounds many a man. It is even important to realize it even when he “watches” sports during sex. It helps him concentrate so much that it makes it unnecessary for them to fantasize. Therefore, take notice that when there is some game on TV and you are having sex, he is really thinking about you, and not another gorgeous sexy woman.

By the way, when he is watching a game and you have something important to tell him, wait until the commercials. He will pay attention to you then.

Men also like to practice sports with their buddies. They need to bond as well, and playing sports is one of the best activities for such connection. You don’t see them talking about their relationships or embracing each other. They do sports.

Men have a distinctive way of communication that makes no sense to women but means a lot to them. How do the commercials on TV show male bonding? Mostly through sports, what else? Also, sports provide them with psychological tools to dealing with competition. They are cathartic.

A great story for you: “Mourners arriving at a Pennsylvania funeral home found their recently deceased friend, a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, propped up in his favorite armchair in black and gold pajamas, a Steelers blanket on his lap, a beer and a pack of cigarettes at his side, while a high- definition TV played a continuous loop of Steelers highlights. Smith’s friends and relatives agreed it was a perfect tribute. One of them said: ‘It was just like he was at home.’” The Week, July 22, p. 6.

A Word of Advice:

Ladies: Seems like is better to have a game on during lovemaking. This is probably the only time we won’t have competition with other belles. Also, bless the men who go out and practice sports with his buddies: he will come home refreshed, and that is good.

Gents: Your spouse knew you liked to watch sports on TV. Do not change your pleasures to avoid nagging. Have patience when she sits down with you to watch sports, she must be interested to learn about the game. Tell her politely to ask about the rules during commercials. Stick to having your friends over. It is a good compromise to invite your friends’ spouses to come over as well, so the women will do their talking somewhere else and will not disturb you, Gents.
