I don't mean to say that the National Post has a favourite sex position. I meant to say that I have extracted the official opinion from the National Post with regards to sex and the National Post.
Consider the strange musings of CBC Chairman Guy Fournier, of whom I have already posted:
Mr. Fournier recounted a train trip in the early 1960s during which a friend named Michel said going number two was as pleasurable as having sex.
"From that moment, I started paying closer attention -- and I have to tell you, I quickly realized that Michel was entirely right," Mr. Fournier said.
"And the most extraordinary thing is that, in the end, as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer-lasting and more frequent than the other."
He also advised against distractions while on the toilet. "There are even people who push the heresy to the point of doing Sudoku or crosswords rather than concentrating on the pleasure that they would have doing the thing," Mr. Fournier told his radio interviewer. "It is just as heretical as if you read the National Post while making love. It is not to be recommended." [emphasis added]
So I wrote to Jonathan Kay, the Comments Pages Editor and all-round nice guy, to determine the official position when it comes to reading the paper while having sex.
That is to say, the official opinion.
Jonathan Kay:
Reading the National Post is great for afterplay. Way after.
Who said the CBC isn't entertaining?
