I’m known as the more shy and easily shocked of the BLUNTmoms, so when the chance to write about a movie called Sex Tape came along I was a little worried that I would have to say a rosary or get out the smelling salts in order to get myself through this! But I watched the trailer for it and it is now my must-see summer movie! Watch the trailer and I think you’ll be racing me to the theater!

It’s about a couple, Annie and Jay (played by Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel), who are trying to reignite the spark in their relationship after two kids and ten years of marriage. They schedule appointments for sex, and then sleep through them, which feels all too familiar. Who hasn’t at least pretended to be asleep when your partner comes to bed because you just can’t do one more thing or be touched one more time for the day. I do an excellent fake snore if I may say so.
Sometimes I feel guilty about letting life get in the way of a more active sex life, and other times I feel downright ambitious and decide to actually do something about it. In the movie, Annie proposes making a sex tape to put the spark back in the bedroom, and they record themselves trying every position in The Joy of Sex. FOR THREE HOURS. They fully intended to delete the video the next day, but The Cloud got it first. That feeling of horror is like when I discovered that my text messages were going to my daughter’s iPad – AT SCHOOL – instead of to my phone – but a thousand times worse. I freak out worrying that I’ll accidentally Instagram the bathroom when I’m on the toilet – if I had a sex tape floating in the ether I’d be changing my identity and starting a new life in some kind of sex witness protection program.
Clearly I won’t be making a sex tape anytime soon so I decided to ask the BLUNTmoms for other ways that they keep the fire alive with their partner:
“Usually I grab him by the crotch to indicate interest. He’s a man, and immune to subtler forms of come hither.”
“One word: skirt.”
“I go into his office while he’s working and sit on his lap. Or wake him up in the middle of the night. Or just say “I would like to have sex now please.” All of those things work quite well.”
“Taking the hair down from the unattractive bun helps.”
“I close the bedroom door. Since I never put out, it doesn’t take much.”
“I text my boobs to him. It’s very rare, but when I do, it’s very much appreciated. Oh I also get him drunk.”
“I brush my teeth topless. Makes my bewbies jiggle.”
“I asked my husband how he knows I’m in the mood and he said ‘you touch me’ – well, I’m a hard puzzle to solve.”
All of these ideas sound much easier than a three hour video, and much less likely to result in public humiliation. Well except the texting of the boobs one – I would end up sending that to the pediatrician or school principal for sure.
