Sex not worth
all the trouble
By Abigail Van Buren
1977 by The Chicago Tnbune-N.Y NewsSynd. Inc
DEAR ABBY: I am a 36-year-old liberated woman. I’ve
tried sex and I don’t dislike it, but it’s not worth all the
trouble.
Sex never was a very important part of my life, but most
people think there is something wrong with a person who
doesn't have a strong sex drive.
I am not frigid; 1 am very affectionate. I can lie in my
lover’s arms and enjoy the feeling of closeness, but if it
doesn’t culminate in the sex act, it’s all right with me.
Am I weird? Or do you understand what I'm saying?
CONTENT
DEAR CONTENT: I understand what you’re saying,
and you are NOT weird. I think you are an intelligent,
honest woman who values love above sex. No need to
apologize for it.
DEAR ABBY: I clipped and saved the above from your
column because I felt exactly the way CONTENT felt, and
I applauded your answer.
I am a woman in my 50s, married 25 years, and I have a
happy home and family life with my husband and three
college-age children.
Knowing that a 36-year-old woman also felt that sex isn’t
worth the trouble gave me a great deal of comfort. So
much emphasis is placed on sex these days that one gets
the feeling that it is the ultimate in a relationship, and that
love, understanding and affection are not enough.
How about running a survey, Abby? It would be
interesting to find out how many women (and men) feel
that sex is not really worth the trouble. Let’s hear it
from. . .
THE AFFECTIONATE SILENT MAJORITY
DEAR SILENT: Were Ito ask my readers for responses
to the question of how men and women feel about the
importance of sex, the results would not be conclusive
because: (a) those who readily volunteer information about
their sex lives tend to be exhibitionists and therefore not
typical; (b) I suspect that people lie about their sex lives
more than any other subject.
DEAR ABBY: I live in a six-unit apartment house that is
small, so we have gotten to know our neighbors.
My next-door neighbor is my problem. It seems that his
biggest enjoyment in life is going through the trash barrels
that sit on the side of our apartment building. These
barrels contain the trash of everyone residing in this
building, including my own.
How do I deal with this annoying situation?
N. HOLLYWOOD
DEAR NORTH: I fail to see how your neighbor's
fascination with his neighbors’ trash could present a
“problem” to you. If it’s his “biggest enjoyment in life,”
why not regard it as a weird and somewhat childish
pleasure, and let it go at that.
CONFIDENTIAL TO PHILOSOPHY MAJOR”: Scho
penhauer, the great philosopher, said: “It is easy to let the
adulation of the Diety make amends for the lack of proper
behavior towards men. And so we see that in all times and
in all countries, the great majority of mankind find it easier
to beg their way into heaven by prayers than to deserve to
go there by their actions.”

Know,” send $1 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr.,
