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.” For Abby’s new booklet, “What Teen-agers Want to Know,” send $1 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212.
