Lifetime is going to premiere their new series 7 Days of Sex on April 26th. I felt the need to write about this show based on the concept alone. The new docu will follow couples on the brink of divorce being challenged to have sex for one week straight. That sounds atrocious, doesn’t it? Couples who want to get a divorce are usually not wanting to do it, in fact a lot of times it’s the last thing they want to do.

I doubt this social experiment will work. If the sex does get them back together, it’ll only be for a short while because it’s not going to solve the real reasons they’re getting divorced.

I’ve learned one thing, and that’s: Glory holes just make your problems bigger, they don’t solve them…well, maybe for 13 seconds they do.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I’ll need to see pictures of the couples participating before I make a viewing decision.

    Honestly, if the couples are actually interested in salvaging the relationship (which, if they’re on this show they must be) I think sex for 7 days straight could work wonders. Many of the couples I’ve known who ended up divorced had a huge drop off in their sex life even before they really thought of themselves as having “problems,” and it’s been scientifically proven that our brains release oxytocin during orgasm, which promotes emotional bonding. I’ll be interested to see what happens.

    Where was this before I was getting a divorce? I didn’t realize sex was the key the WHOLE time. HAHA. That show is just as ridiculous as it sounds. Seven days of sex with my soon to be ex-husband makes me vomit more than seeing Teresa Guidice on Celebrity Apprentice or RHONJ.

    That’s why I want to see pictures of the cast first. I’m not interested in contemplating the healing effects of sex amongst Guidice-type Italian Cro-magnons the same way I don’t want to see greasy-haired, pierced and tatted up chefs prepare my food. Or Wiccans. Sweet Jesus, I don’t want to see any Wiccans boinking. Or midgets. My wife watches the Little Couple, and if I hear any more about midget uterus, I’m going to flip my wig.

    I know. My mom was talking about it and it makes me want to shoot myself, like them being in love with Storage Wars.

    YUUUUUUUUUPPPPPP. Gross.

    This is ridiculous, and the idea obviously concieved by a man. What woman wants to have sex with someone you want to divorce? I’m sorry to stereotype here, but come on.

    Most of the divorced people I know (me soon to join the ranks) want to usually strangle their husbands, not sleep with them. I would not have sex with my husband for 7 days to improve my relationship. I would bust everyone within a five-mile radius for even suggesting it.

    What if the reason for considering divorce is you found out your husband was boinking the neighbor and everyone knew but you. When he does tell you, he says it’s because you never had time for him, what with the colicky newborn and all. Even worse, those extra lbs of baby weight just turn him off. And Sally…she’s so carefree. And young.

    But if you want to save your marriage, have sex with this man everyday for a week! It’ll do wonders for your self esteem.

    Why not? Reality is that the producers and all the other head honchos are probs male.

    I would not be surprised to find out that there are some women on the producer side of this travesty. I mean, there was a woman who helped spawn the Real World/Road Rules BS (God rest her soul since she passed away years ago) so women are capable of giving us crappy TV. It is a travesty for both genders as it is for our eyes and ears.

    Thank Goodness I have always hated Lifetime because it depresses me more than country music. My girlfriend loves it and I want to bang my head when I have to watch it.

    I think (?!) that the premise of 7DoS is just terrific. I mean how many women get pregnant to save a marriage? And we all know how well that always works out.

    And yeah, Parisi, the whole thing had to be concieved (pun intended) by a demented woman. i just love to rattle NWMTV’s cage a bit now and then.

    Yes, it is always fun to rattle NWMT’s cage. :P

    I was thinking about this and it is always dangerous when I think. What happens if one of the women’s Aunt Flow comes to visit? What do they do then? Do they still get it on or get a pass for one more week on the show? “Sorry honey. I am on the rag so see you in court!”

    1st off your wrong. The show is not about couples on the verge of divorce. It’s about couple who are still in love but trying to bring the romance back. Get your facts straight and they do a review based on the true facts.

    Sorry for the typo’s but you should really read the concept of the show and get a clear understanding before writing a review.

    Chantal, please be a bit more diplomatic in your critique. This is a site devoted to snarky fun, and you might want to find out what we are all about before leaping in and being so harsh.

    Typos are acceptable. We all make them and we tolerate them in spite of our individual sticking points, for want of the better word. But we aren’t here to show off our superior knowledge, we’re here to laugh at the expense of those who choose to put themselves out to be laughed at. however unintentionally.
