From, “Sex or Sleep?” by Miriam Gottfried, 5/14/12,
Barron’s:
Well, it was absolutely an issue for Kim Browne of Simi Valley, Calif.,
when her Tempur-Pedic memory-foam bed arrived seven years ago. "My
boyfriend and I were laughing the first time we had sex on the bed,"
Browne, a 44-year-old office manager, wrote to Barron's in an e-mail. "We
couldn't move around as easily. I got stuck in a divot, and he couldn't get traction on his knees. We ended up on
the floor, thinking we were never going to be able to have sex in the bed
again."
Within a month, however, she says they got the hang of it --
and in fact began to like it. "Just think of this little extra challenge
as an additional benefit of the bed," she wrote.
Not all adventures on these mattresses end so happily. Sari
Eckler Cooper, the New York
sex therapist, says some clients decided to give up their memory-foam mattress
because it was impeding their sex
life and causing marital disagreement. Some others, based on the message
boards, have stopped using the beds for sex, taking their hanky-panky
elsewhere.
Divot: turf
Impede: hinder; obstruct;
delay something from happening
