They embraced this day and so celebrating it was reviled as a "pinko" holiday. Now, we can step back and view it on its own merits. Interestingly enough, a survey was just released that ranked how Americans feel about work.
The survey was cosponsored by Columbia University and the National Institutes of Health for a symposium on gender and human sexuality. Asked:
"what is important or very important in your life",
| Loving family relationships | 99% |
| Financial security | 98% |
| Spiritual life | 86% |
| A satisfying sex life | 82% |
| Job Satisfaction | 79% |
So, sex was considered more important than being happy on the job? That's good. It wasn't that long ago that sex was considered a utilitarian chore, required by a tyrannical deity to perpetuate the species. Now people see it as more important to their lives than what they do for a living. Should Americans start celebrating "Mayday?" Maybe, but based on this survey, I think we should wait until after we create a holiday for sex. Maybe we could call it "Nookie Day" (or perhaps "Wednesday").
