I MAY BE GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS, but sex remains a topic of interest, both in its arousing forms an in its humorous forms. I was recently emailed a collection of quotes about sex and marriage and found many of them rather fun. Some were even too accurate, making them all funnier. Apparently, they have been making the rounds of the internet for years.
Each quote was attributed to a celebrity, most of them movie stars of the past few decades. I looked them all up on the internet and found that some attributions were correct, others not. I selected the quotes I liked the most and have posted them here:

“There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.” – P.J. O’Rourke
“I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.” – Steve Martin
“You don’t appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman. Stuff you pay good money for later in life.” – Emo Philips
“It isn’t premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.” – Drew Carey
“It’s been so long since I’ve had sex, I’ve forgotten who ties up whom.” – Joan Rivers
“Women might be able to fake orgasms but men can fake a whole relationship.” – Sharon Stone
FEATURED IMAGE: The photo at the top of this page is of actress Sharon Stone from the article “10 Celebrities Who Are Sexier Than Ever.” Author Ara Rimba wrote about Stone, “She is now 58 years old but she looks even sexier than ever. Sharon does have a firm and healthy figure. She is known to practice weightlifting and Taekwondo, the Korean martial art. You can watch her latest work in the TV series, Agent X.”
I thought I would let the inimitable and immortal Oscar Wilde have the last word: “Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.”
Mr.Umphred, I have been lucky enough to have started my DJ work back in 1966 when I was 15, just starting my Sophomore year at Oceanside High School in Oceanside, California, on our Top 40 Station KUDE, which when the sun went down, KCBQ and KGB in downtown San Diego had to decrease their power so low that no one living from about Del Mar north to South Orange County couldn’t listen and could only pick up KHJ out of LA or our station which had a much larger playlist.
I did an “All-request Show” every week for 5 years, 3 as Oceanside High Pirate Hour, and then 2 years as the Spartan Hour for our Junior College, and got to play any songs that had come in within the last week or two to see which new songs would get the most requests and that I thought my “listeners,” that were mostly junior high, high school and college students, but really mostly were the thousands of young 18-23-year-old young men in their Marine barracks, on Camp Pendleton next door, each night for their 6-8 weeks of “training” before they all were shipped off to Vietnam.
That’s how I talked the station ‘s General Manager, Lyle Richardson, into it. The least we would could do for those young men!
Of course, during this time I collected a vast number of Promo LPs and 45s. Now I am using your Goldmine 1989 “Collectible Record Albums” book which is very helpful, as I promised my wife I would mark the most valuable ones that my 35-year-old daughter will inherit someday. In your book, you do a great explanation of The Beatles product which I have a very large amount of.
I am interested in your description of Beatles songs that no real “Stereo” versions from the original Abbey Road master tapes not existing. I personally have “Please Please Me,” “Love Me Do,” “PS I Love You,” and “Thank You Girl” along with True Stereo Master versions of the Rolling Stones that they recorded starting at the end of ’64 through ’69’s great “Honky Tonk Women” along with CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising” with great stereo separation showcasing John’s great guitar work.
I also have from Japan, The Dave Clark Five’s hits in true stereo as the original stereo tapes were sent to Japan without Dave Clark’s approval back in the ’80s when JVC made the first DC5 Greatest Hits CD.
As a thank you for all your time and effort it took to put together this very valuable book I am using, I’d love to send a couple CDs with these great versions of these songs.
Sincerely, Bob Charles

Thanks for the comment!
It seems you and I are the same age as I also turned 15 in 1966. That remains my faverave year for singles (of which there are too many to list).
I am from Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania and the big Top 40 stations there were WARM and WILK coming.
I am pleased that you are finding one of my old books useful. However, I suggest finding a copy of the fifth and final edition I did of that book as it is more accurate (and, hopefully, more fun to read):

Thanks for the offer of the stereo CDs. Here is my email address: [email protected]
Please send me an email and I will send you my street address.
Keep on keepin’ on!

PS: My apologies but I did some editing to your letter to keep it “stylistically” similar to my comments.
