 Posted: Aug 4, 08 Views: 258 The recession may be ruining your diet, your wallet, your wardrobe, and your vacation, but is it also ruining your sex life?  "According to the Chicago Sun Times, more women are applying to donate their eggs and act as surrogates as the economy worsens. This got me thinking about the other ways in which the poor economy—including skyrocketing gas prices, increased unemployment, and the mortgage crisis—are affecting the sex and love lives of women. Personally speaking, the poor economy has taken a negative toll on the real estate market—and since the man-friend and I are looking to move, aren’t finding much in our budget and are getting stressed as a result, romance has taken a little beating as well. Here's, a list of how the recession is both hurting AND improving some women’s sex and love lives.
IMPROVING
1. Getting Creative: Not being able to afford dinner at a five-star restaurant or a romantic getaway may suck, but it also forces you to get inventive. “My man and I are more creative about what we do...less going to big dinners just for the heck of it and more hanging out in the park. We do silly things now too, like at home beer tastings. We looked at all of the things we enjoyed doing before that were expensive and we’ve been more creative about less expensive ways to do these things with friends in other ways.”—Kim
2. Increased Intimacy: Working through problems together can be a great thing for the relationship. “Talking about money increases intimacy—I know more about my man and vice versa than I probably would have otherwise.”—Jenny
3. Eating Out Less Equals A Sexier Physique: We stay home more and cook more, which we love doing. So, it’s quality time, we’re not tired in a loud restaurant late on a Friday. We’re also losing belly fat from eating better.”—Deanna"
