Oh, sorry, I didn't see #74: Arm wrestle - that probably takes car of my previous comment.
30 25 200411:30AM
#11 Let's see horny, non-sex-having teens playing twister. That'll work out well.
#72 Surf the web. No porn or half naked women there.

I hope Robert Smigel runs across that list.

I think between the teenage years of being told that sex is bad, and the marriage/kids years of being told that a healthy sex life is something to preserve, people my age aren't taught how to have a healthy sexual relationship. Not that we're so helpless as to require instruction for every new experience; it just would have been nice. Did anyone out there get particularly good advice about beginning their sex life?

"Ride a bike"
Oh, that's useful! Let's go out and ride a bike while all the other kids in the neighborhood are gettin' their freak on and laughing at us.
#101 Talk with your girlfriend/boyfriend about how bad you REALLY WANT to have sex.
26 25 2004 1:26PM
Most of the items on the list sound OK when you add "in the nude" or "and have sex" to the end.

48. Head to Wal-Mart to try on shoes—in styles you’d never buy.
That a bit much for my tastes.
I mean, styles I'd never even buy ? Do they take me for a pot-smoking hippie or something ?

6. Play hide-and-seek in a cornfield.
Is it me, or is that not how a good number of horror and porn movies start out.
"Play hide-and-seek in a corn field kids. If you don't wind up naked, you'll be hunted down by a psycho."

You should fix your link text The page doesn't say "...instead of sex" it says "...instead of it" . Which really explains everything doesn't it (it meaning what it explains-not it as in sex...I'm getting all confused, must be the all the sex, it over heats the brain.)

David Cross talks about a book with a 1000 suggestions and the funniest one was play kazzoo along with MTV.
38 25 2004 2:38PM
They blew it on No. 38
Some days I can be so grose...
42 25 2004 2:42PM
If only they had a list of things you could do with your girlfriend that are more fun than sex. That would be an interesting list, if they could come up with anything to put on it.
47 25 2004 2:47PM
a list of things to do to your girlfriend During sex would be way more helpful to boys methinks, and definately more helpful to the girls.

number 61: Read 1 Corinthians 13. is that the sexy part of the bible or something?
56 25 2004 3:56PM
Only if you think love is sexy.
06 25 2004 4:06PM
That's one strange site... Have you read the "Letter to Guys"? It quotes some song lyrics:
All the boys (...) want a valentine from a Barlow Girl/guys think they’re the bomb/cause they remind them of their mom.
Sure, I always thought of my mum when looking for a girlfried.
17 25 2004 5:17PM
Having the last name barlow, someone forwarded me those lyrics one time. It is kind of cheesy contemporary Christian music.
35 25 2004 5:35PM
The sad world of McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Disney and no sex.
11 25 2004 6:11PM
Man, they're stretching it. Do they want to make it seem like there really isn't much to do besides sex? "Pretend you're 6 years old again"? With a bit more thought I'm sure they could have come up with 100 things teenagers might plausibly actually be interested in doing.
49 25 2004 6:49PM
91. Play baseball without a bat or ball.
...ahem, so long as you don't go past third base.
31 25 2004 7:31PM
#65 struck me as humorous. But the rest of the list just reenforces the stereotype of right wing, conservative, Christian un-coolness.
40 25 2004 9:40PM
These all sound like euphemisms for "humping" to me.
31 25 200410:31PM
Joe Hughes...you made me laugh.
Nicole. Poor taste. Let's see if I can label you: college-aged girl, sleeps around, binge drinker, divorced parents, average grades, low self-esteem.... shall I go on?
The rest of you? Please work on your spelling.
I swear, from reading these posts you'd think this list was a bad thing. How dare anyone suggest other things to do beside sex. This list is good not only for boyfriend/girfriend, but husband/wife as well.
37 25 200410:37PM
Ooh, sign me up for "Go to a G-rated movie."
Although that does remind me of the time I went to see "Finding Nemo" with friends at a late showing, sat in the back row, and about halfway through, looked over to see a teen girl enthusiastically giving her boyfriend head. Never thought that really happened in movie theaters, especially at Disney flicks. Yikes.
38 25 200410:38PM
... in the event that their marriage is built on such a flimsy base that they are at a loss for non-sexual ways to enjoy their time together. The list, regardless of your opinion of its intent, is humorously bad. Further, Nicole's criticism was of the list perpetuating a stereotype of conservative/Christian uncoolness. She wasn't labeling anyone -- back off with the personal attack.
39 25 200410:39PM
My comment, of course, was meant to follow annoyed's. Yet: Yikes, indeed.
42 25 200410:42PM
"31. Eat something you have never tried before."
Well, it's cute, I guess, but that's about it. Some are eerie, others are way too childish, and others...actually sound fun. Like that one above. Giggidy-giddidy.
39 25 200411:39PM
I smell troll.

anyone surprised?

I don't know about you guys but I'm getting my stamped slef-addressed envelope ready right now so I can get "this list in a colorful brochure to share with a friend"
Why isn't that one of the fun things on the list? Gold.
08 26 2004 4:08AM
That url is going to look great to my lab admin.
15 26 2004 7:15AM
to annoyed: The fact that you're flaming over such a harmless comment shows that you need to chill some, but the point of all the flak on this list is that if people are getting together and having sex SOLELY because they just can't think of anything else to do, they're not going to do the lame ass activities suggested like "get a walkie-talkie and pretend you're on a secret mission." For those who are so lame they can't think of anything to do with their girlfriend/boyfriend and must rely on this list as a source of entertainment, they shouldn't be dating =-P
You sound like the latter.
25 26 2004 9:25AM
Ok, everyone cool it with the personal attacks. Instead of fighting, can't we all just 3) put together a puzzle with 1,000 pieces, 26) look up all the synonyms for "love", 93) get a walkie-talkie and pretend you’re on a secret mission, or 66) get dressed up really nice and go to McDonald’s?
I'll start. Love:
admire, adulate, canonize, care for, cherish, choose, deify, delight in, dote on, esteem, exalt, fall for, fancy, flip over, glorify, go for, gone on, hold dear, hold high, idolize, like, long for, prefer, prize, thrive with, treasure, venerate, wild for, worship
Heh. "Wild for". Somehow, I'm not sure that's what the makers of the list had in mind. Oh, and I didn't even see the definition below that:
Entry: love
Function: verb
Definition: have sex
Synonyms: canoodle, caress, chase after, clasp, clind, cosset, court, cuddle, dandle, draw close, embrace, feel, fondle, grass, hold, hug, kiss, lick, look tenderly, make it, make love, neck, pet, press, shine, soothe, spoon, stroke, tryst, woo
Mommy, what does "canoodle" mean?
58 26 200411:58AM
loving synonymous with licking? or better yet, "grass"...or something.
22 26 2004 3:22PM
Oh, oh, they took it down. Where would we be if there wasn’t a Wayback Machine…

blah blah blah sex... 29 comments. anyone surprised?
I think it's because everyone is talking about the Mars Rover at work or in person. It's in the media everywhere. The other-than-sex list is refreshing and something only people online can enjoy, until someone purchases and distributes the flyers for free
21 26 2004 4:21PM
Friggin' link is down. Just as I commented on it. Darn.
27 26 2004 4:27PM
Well, I've just emailed them asking what happened to their article. If they get back to me, I'll post their reply here.
39 26 2004 9:39PM
my guess is these people are uptight with their linkage. thats ok, i amused myself with the most embarrassing moments in their "R U Laughing @ Me?" section.
05 27 200411:05PM
We thought it was tuna!
Oh Sammy.
58 03 200412:58AM
Some more suggestions for things to do besides have sex:
101. Do your homework
102. Break big rocks into smaller rocks
103. Roll a big rock up to the top of a hill, watch as it rolls back down; repeat ad infinitum
104. Stare vacantly into space
105. Drop acid
106. Shoot a black man
107. Hunt for terrorists
108. Vote for Bush
109. Attack someone whose views differ from your own
110. Worship at Ann Coulter's altar
111. Don't actually read the Bible
112. Don't actually read anything written above a 5th grade level
36 07 2004 8:36PM
every one of those has led to a whole bunch of "it"

I don't see mutual masturbation anywhere on that list...
