"  There are few sexual milestones as hyped up as your wedding night. Some weird uncle or tipsy friend is bound to make a too-loud, nudge-nudge joke during your nuptials about what the just-hitched couple might be doing (or not doing) later. There&amp;#039;s even a trove of frilly white undies bedazzled with &amp;quot;Bride&amp;quot; you can buy so that you&amp;#039;re properly adorned to do the deed. I don&amp;#039;t know about you guys, but I feel pretty &amp;quot;meh&amp;quot; about wedding night nookie. And I&amp;#039;m not the only one: A\u00A0recent survey of 2,000 newlyweds\u00A0found that more than half didn&amp;#039;t have sex\u00A0after their receptions. Twenty-four percent said the reason they didn&amp;#039;t get it on was because the groom was too drunk, while 16 percent reported it was because the bride fell asleep.\u00A0 This news was supposed to be OMG shocking, but seriously, who cares? Back in the day, when many women were virgins when they got married and before most people lived together, wedding night sex was a big deal, and I totally get why. But if you&amp;#039;re like most couples today, you&amp;#039;ve already done it. Like,\u00A0a lot.\u00A0So it really doesn&amp;#039;t mean anything anymore. And that&amp;#039;s a good thing. (Sex + pressure = not fun sex.) That&amp;#039;s why, on my wedding day next summer, I won&amp;#039;t be donning new, sexy, white satin skivvies. Instead I&amp;#039;ll be wearing some old, not-at-all-hot, nude boyshorts, which are both comfy\u00A0and\u00A0won&amp;#039;t show though my dress. And my wedding night fantasy will be to do what most of my friends did with their husbands: go back to our hotel room, order chicken fingers, then passing out together after recapping how much fun we had dancing our asses off and partying hard with everyone we love most in life. To me, that&amp;#039;s far more romantic than humping each other exhaustedly just because we&amp;#039;re &amp;quot;supposed to.&amp;quot;\u00A0 Besides, there&amp;#039;s always morning sex.
