Hi, it's Jay Parker with today's sex chat quickie. One place we get our notions of what sex is like is from the screen.

Movies, TV, videos that show couples engaged in hot and heavy lovemaking. But screen sex is pretend sex.

It involves special lighting, camera angles, makeup and wardrobe, choreography, and acting.

If we get the idea that sex is like what we see on a screen, we can feel like we're missing

out or that something is wrong with us when sex doesn't happen that way. I've got eight-way screen

sex isn't like real sex, but since this is a quickie, we'll just cover four of them today.

Blouses unbuttoned easily. Trousers come off with a single zip, bras unhook with a snap.

And socks, well, you never see them removed. But since the couple is barefoot later, socks obviously

came off without a hitch. Back in the real world, it can take a little

more effort to get your clothes off. And it might not be quite the passionate affair shown on screen.

Anyone ever had a zipper stick? Fumble over the buttons with a bra hook? Stumble while

removing your outfit? If you haven't yet, just wait. As someone married over 30 years, I can say

pretty confidently it will happen.
