MrAce Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 There are many things that makes Bridge more appealing than "sex". I found this post by Andrew Winock on his FB profile and added some more to his list. Please add if you can think of other funny comparisons. You do not have to hide your magazines,It is OK to hire a pro.It is Ok to be a pro.You can play with strangersThere is no bridge transmitted diseasesIt is OK to change your partnersYou can still do it in your 90'sHaving something short can be a good thing.Playing two over one is appropriate.You will have fun and will be respected for squeezing others.'Fast arrival' is not necessarily a bad thing.Everyone goes down sometimes!Lying to your pd is OK.You are allowed to ruff your or other people's Queen!You are allowed to watch other pairs.Your age or your gender does not necessarily make you vulnerable.Being partner with same gender is OK regardless of your religion.No angry husbands/wives when they catch you playing with their spouse.No one will shoot you for squeezing their spouse! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 According to his biographers, Ely Culbertson promoted Bridge on the basis of Sex, Snobbery and Women's Liberation. e.g. he encouraged suggestive terminology, especially about end-plays, for example entry squeeze strip.

manudude03 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 You can elope without risking pregnancy. You can have a permanent partner without paying thousands for marriage. As an aside, when I was on npc duty earlier this year, I had in my profile "when he is not squeezing the ladies at the club" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FelicityR Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 You don't have to worry about your 'love handles' (or your choice of lingerie)Swapping partners is not frowned uponYou can have a 'stiff queen' in your hand without feeling embarrassedPost mortems do not have involve people who have died [during the sexual act]Simultaneous Pairs are not under any obligation to performNo 'bottom' is going to be spankedYou can have a cup of tea and biscuits while playing bridge but, on the flip side, playing bridge is more difficult than the Karma Sutra (so I've been told) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msjennifer Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 You are forced to open your hand and expose what it holds when you are dummy. What you hold in your hand is yours and what you hold in your mind is partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

661_Pete Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I may be old-fashioned, but I still think 2♥ is the best contract........soon to be followed by 1♦ if things turn out well.Whatever you do, however badly things go, please don't use 1♣!And remember, at the end of the day, you'll have to dig spouse's grave with 1♠...
