50 reasons to have sex, How I Met Your Mother style

Is this post just another reason for me to say how much I loved last night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother? Maybe, maybe not. But TV Squad has an exclusive photo that I just had to share with you here at CliqueClack.

It seems that Lily’s napkin, the one where she wrote down 50 reasons to have sex, really does exist. [ Post update: There’s a nice big picture of the napkin over at CBS] I know you are dying to know all 50 reasons, so jump with me:

  1. Because you can’t get to sleep
  2. Make-up sex
  3. Break-up sex
  4. Your friend told you about a new position
  5. Revenge
  6. Rebound
  7. Paratrooping / bangin’ for roof
  8. Nothing good on TV
  9. Because you’re in a hotel
  10. Curiosity
  11. It’s raining
  12. It’s halftime
  13. Diet / exercise
  14. Celebrate recent weight loss
  15. You finally get the chance to show your childhood bed some action
  16. Prom night
  17. You’re already at their place and don’t want to have to move your car
  18. Show off new lingerie
  19. Celebrate major victory by favorite team and / or political candidate
  20. Your chance to do it in a specific location (ex. airplane, Burger King bathroom)
  21. To prove we’re not in a rut
  22. Stress relief
  23. Just shaved legs
  24. Forgot to buy a birthday present
  25. “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye is playing on the radio
  26. Celebrating the joy of life after a near-death experience
  27. Your one chance with a celebrity
  28. Time an egg
  29. To avoid cleaning, studying or doing work of any kind
  30. She wants to
  31. It’s cold outside
  32. Cheer someone up (pity)
  33. Keeping up with the neighbors
  34. Your roommate is out of town and you can do it on the couch
  35. Some very protected sex to celebrate the fact that I’m  not / we’re not / you’re not pregnant
  36. Practice
  37. They have air conditioning and you don’t
  38. Because he / she is from one of the countries you haven’t had sex with a person from yet
  39. “Damn, your calves look good in those cargo shorts” sex
  40. Called / tested the wrong person but she was into it anyway
  41. Because she looks like your superhot cousin and this is the closest it will ever get to it being okay
  42. Breaking in a new apartment
  43. Because he says he loves you and you’re not ready to say it back yet
  44. Wingman diving on the friend grenade
  45. Your condoms are about to expire
  46. It’s getting a little hard
  47. Miscommunication (Cheetos sex)
  48. To reinforce good behavior (such as shaving and dental hygiene)
  49. To change the subject
  50. Love ♥

Well, some of these are simply logical, aren’t they? Air conditioning can be a near-necessity during the summer heatwaves, after all. And really, isn’t it a pain to move your car? I think my favorites have to be the hot cousin look-alike (#41) and the new country citizen (#38) … because random is funny.

What’s your favorite reason to have sex?

For 8 long years I used reason # 17 with this one girl. Only instead of not wanting to have to move my car I didn’t want to move all my stuff and my car. Some of those could have fallen under # 7 because I didn’t have rent money 3 or 4 months and she let me slide, so I guess I was bangin for roof those months.

You are a sad, sad person.

All good reasons but we all know that the best sex is number #2

I know that’s also sad but it’s true nonetheless.

Great, it’s 9:30am and I have 50 reasons why I hate this website right now ;-)
