Sex as a Christmas Present: Is it a Great Gift, or Cheap Excuse for Not Buying a Gift?
Check Out the Answers to This Informal Survey on How You Feel About Sex as a Christmas Present
How do you feel about sex as a Christmas present? Her point of view:
I think sex for Christmas can be a great gift. In fact, my SO and I have a tradition about sex on Christmas. There is always one gift under the tree for me that cannot be opened until the kids go to bed. This gift is often lingerie, a toy or massage oils. After opening my gift, it would be rude not play with and appreciate my gifts, right? -Linda L. StCyr, 29, administrative assistant
I would be upset if my mate gave me sex as a Christmas present. We have sex anyway so why would I need sex as a present? Unless it was a free pass to have sex with whomever I wanted ... No, that would make me furious actually, resulting in a skillet to the side of his head. Ha ha! It was funny thinking about this! I have to wonder who does that anyway. Sex for Christmas? Hold up, gold diggers probably. -ShawnTe Pierce, 32, medical doctor
How do you feel about sex as a Christmas present? His point of view:
My wife and I have sex when we can't keep our hands off each other, not as part of a ritual. I think that the only people who will give sex coupons as gifts are people who CAN keep their hands off of each other. -Sevastian Winters, 38, writer and DIY specialist
Sex (let's call it lovemaking) should be a standard between consenting adults on any given day and not reserved for 'special' occasions like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or Friday nights. When you care about another enough to give freely to your partner, it should be a natural occurrence and not necessarily a thought about event reserved for special occasions. -James, 50, full-time writer
How do you feel about sex as a Christmas present? The only couple to answer:
I think it's a great Christmas present! It's also good for my birthday, Father's Day, and weekends. -Lance "Lubby" Whittenhauer, 57, semi-retired
Keep dreamin', Lubby. -Kay Whittenhauer, 42, web writer
How do you feel about sex as a Christmas present? The stories:
I can honestly say that after over 20 years of marriage, my husband and I make love almost every night. We love sex and we know it's good for our health. LOL So, sex as a Christmas present would be a downer for me. It wouldn't feel like a present, because I receive that "present" a lot. LOL -Jolie du Pre, 47, full-time writer
I read an article on this a few months back. I think the woman gave her husband as much sex as he wanted for a year? Both said, after a couple of months, it was incredibly boring and they couldn't wait to get to the end of the year, LOL. -Cassandra James, age withheld, writer
I would require it to be combined with a hotel stay or nice meal. My husband, I hope, knows that. A woman who has been sexually abused will not regard sex a very good Christmas gift. She may feel like even more of an object, not a person. -SLP, age withheld, stay-at-home mom
Though my husband would think sex is the perfect gift for any occasion, I would be a little disappointed if he considered it a gift to me on Christmas. As he is disabled, any chance I get to be intimate with him is a gift, and should be given freely all year round. -Jolynne M Hudnell, 43, legal secretary
My husband tells me every year that all he wants for Christmas is sex under the Christmas tree. A few years he's gotten it. Mostly though he just insists that as long as he can get some type of sexual favor he's perfectly happy. I, on the other hand, feel as though I get sex all the time so as a Christmas treat - not exactly my first choice. I'd rather have something I've been waiting on - then I can give him his present and we're both happy! -Tammy Morris Waters, 32, writer
How do you feel about sex as a Christmas present? The one-liners:
It would have to be extraordinary sex to be a gift for Christmas. Dressing as an elf or something? -Magena Proud Fawn, 45, insurance underwriter
It already is a gift- once a year on my birthday. Duh. -Jimmy Judson, 42, electrician
It's Christmas year round at 'Marran Manor'. -Paul Marran, 41, advertising executive
Does it have to be from my spouse? -Jenny Wagner, 38, freelance writer
Stick Clive Owen under my tree and we'll talk! -Katrina Arthurs, 27, mom

I personally don't think it is a great gift unless something came along with the sex like staying at a hotel or traveling somewhere new. I think a card and a piece of chocolate would be a better christmas gift then just sex.
Too funny
Great article and nice interviews. As a man, I got to believe that it is the ultimate gift to give and receive...
Excellent! I think it's a great idea and can't help but wonder if the above writers who think couples should have it all the time have small kids at home. Everywhere we turn, our daughter's there. Sex in the shower? Nope, she wants to come in too. Sex in the bedroom? Nope, that's where she sleeps. Thank God for the sofa. When I would watch movies and the couple would be in the middle of doing it only to be interrupted by a crying kid, I never used to believe it. Then I became a parent.
I think it's a great gift AND a cheap excuse!
Great idea for an article. I just did an interview with a sex coach in LA who would probably agree it's a good idea even for couples who regularly have sex in their marriage. It could be a great idea to approach each other in a clever and unique way.
definitely it would be a "free pass" and not a present in my household.
I am so jealous of Jolie!! (= hehe
I don't know, but that "cheap excuse" for a headline had me darting over here. :)
