Feeding the Box
I heard an interesting little idea recently and thought I would share it with you… it was suggested for married couples, but it could work with unmarried couples as well, I guess… The idea is that you would put a box under the bed when you get married. Then anytime you make love, you have to put some money in the box. The suggestion was a dollar, but the way inflation and cost of living is running nowadays, maybe you want to put more than that.
After some period of time, you can use the money in the box to go on a vacation together (or to do whatever you want!) The couple I heard of that used this idea used the money to go on a second honeymoon to Hawaii! Not a bad idea, huh? Of course, you have to be consistent! You have to keep feeding the box! What about if you have no money but you’re horny? Is it a case of “No money, no love?”. It doesn’t have to be! You just owe the box. You have to police yourself and pay up though!
And what about if you have already been together for years? Does it even make sense anymore? Well, you have three options here… you can “seed” the box, i.e., together you can make a rough estimate of how many times you would have made love since you were first married, and then calculate what you would now owe the box and put that amount in the box now, then continue putting the agreed amount in the box from now on. Of course, some couples may have a quarrel when coming up with the estimate, so be careful with this idea. 
Alternatively, you could just start now. Forget the past, no use crying over spilt milk, yuh zimi? At the same time, there is no time like the present! (call me Mr. Cliche nuh? 
) You could still start now. Also, you can increase the amount now to make up for the period of time that you weren’t “feeding the box”.
The third option is just to not bother at all. Just forget about Hawaii, or Paris, or where ever it is that you want to go to…
So, what do you think of this idea? And if you did it, what do you think you’d like to do with the money?

I seh frig de box, jus gwaan get on wid de bizniz!
BTW, if I not mistaken, a certain Mad blogger will be having a birthday celebration in a coupla days…..nuh tru my yute?
Bwoy, mi have a hard time wid dis one. A trip to Hawaii costs what, over $1,000 per person?
So, let’s just suppose that the couple only had to spend $2,000 on the trip (unrealistically low but, let’s pretend). At $1 per session that’s one shag everyday for over 5 years. Now that’s getting busy! I’m not saying that is impossible but, that frequency is, shall we say, uncommon after a few years. It’s three or more times the average. De man mussie well tallowa!
Assuming a more average libido/marriage would only deposit one or two dollars per week, it would take 20 years MINIMUM (likely closer to 35 years) to get to Hawaii.
Even if you are so fortunate to be such a tallowa man and have such an accommodating mate that you can get there in five years, you a go dead! I would suggest a different and far more aggressive savings plan if you want to go to Hawaii or Paris. A dollar a session would barely cover the obligatory after-cigarette.
P.S. Dr. D I read the first part of your post “I seh frig de box” and I buss out laughing.
lol interesting concept..
some people would be going on vacation a lot more often if when they start this :p
Sounds like a great idea … and I would fill my box up real fast!!!
Sounds like a good idea….for the married ones….Us single people however, don’t have these constraints, we just use a little friend called MASTER CARD!
Hehehee, but imagine a girl meets a guy and says lookie here, we can get busy, but you gots to contribute to my luv fund first….hmmm…..
It’s basically prostitution.
@ Leon : Huh?
@ Shenanigans : You are right, the couple I heard about, the Hawaii trip occurred after 20 years. You noticed that I did mention that you could put more than a dollar… its because 20 years seems long to me.
@ Cranky Putz : I’d say that unmarried people can easily do this too, the only problem is that after a quarrel, one or the other might split with the “love nest” which would piss off the other party, nuh true?
@ Adrian & Cool Destiny : True… some ppl love their bedroom business more than others, as alluded to by Cool Destiny.
interesting but I won’t get very far:)
I think it’s a fantastic idea…and I’m gonna use a variation of it for my Good Friday blog.
Whoo-hoo!!
This is wonderful!
Happy Friday!
Leon lost me with the prostitution ting! LOL Mad Bull what the dickance as mi granny would say! LOL What a novel idea to secure the bizniz! I will direct the Dutchie to this post - I am sure he will loads to say or add to the suggestion!
Imagine a divorce situation occours….the fight over the koochie money would be wild…..
The koochie money! LOL
