Do You Know Your Partner’s Body Count, Does It Bother You

Author Mike O'Brian
Two people laying in bed while increasing each other's body count.

When you’re in a relationship you always think you want to know, but maybe not really. Do you know your partner’s “body count” and does it bother you? That was the question this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show.

This all came out when The M&C Morning Show mentioned that there was a poll of about 2,000 people and that the average number would be at about 14.

Now all this is according to a study conducted by Talker Research on behalf of LELO and the data they put out in an article recently. They did say that if you factor in all adults, that real number might be a tad lower.

What Is Your Partner’s Body Count And Does It Bother You

With that said, do you think you’re above or below average? Right off the bat, we wanted to know who listeners thought had the higher body count on the show. It didn’t take long for everyone to point the finger at Mike O’Brian.

Considering he’s been married 4 times and a few years older than Carla Rea and Executive Producer Morty. However, Mike was quick to point out that, as a stand-up comedian, Carla was on the road for many years!

Nonetheless, it was a great segment and one that pointed out it doesn’t matter what your partner did before they met you! Everyone has a past and whether you’re proud of it or not, we are who we are.

Keep in mind that the article also stated that 62% of those surveyed didn’t want to know their partner’s body count. So, even if there was a chance of saying how many and you were being honest, most said, “thanks, but no thanks!”

Anyway, take a couple of minutes, listen to the segment and see if you might fall in line with this survey…and enjoy!

Best Rooftop Bars In Las Vegas That Will Make You Feel Fancy

Summer time in Las Vegas means tis the season for rooftop bars!

There’s nothing quite as beautiful when you’re sipping a cocktail and overlooking the Las Vegas strip.

According to Liquor.com, some of the most popular cocktails right now are espresso martinis tequila, mocking birds (tequila, watermelon, fresh lime juice, and jalapeño), rositas (essentially a tequila negroni), Aperol Spritzs and colletti royales (tequila reposado, triple sec, elderflower liqueur, blood orange juice, lime juice).

Add a rooftop and a city skyline to this equation of tasty, sparkly cocktails, and you’ll get an amazing night.

With that being said, the history of rooftops, bars and happy hours is actually an interesting story.

According to Bloomberg News, the origin of the now-popular roof top bar stems from the 1880s. Rudolph Aronson was a New York conductor and musician. He took a trip to Europe and saw urban gardens performing music or theater acts, which attracted a pretty substantial audience.

Upon arriving back to New York, Aronson recreated the situation he saw in Europe. Except, he added a little twist. Instead of creating an urban garden on the street, he created a “Moorish-styles Casino Theatre” on his roof.

Due to no air conditioning, theaters often were excruciatingly hot and unbearable to sit through.  Aronson’s rooftop-style theater became an escape for many people, offering a little “staycation” for those who wanted to escape the stuffy city for a few hours, and it was far less hot on the roofs. These rooftop theaters became bigger and better as the money started pouring in.

People came to these rooftop spots to “let loose” with dances such as “The Roof Garden Two-Step” becoming popular in 1885. As time went on, the idea of “tall apartment” buildings became a symbol of class and economic status. If you could afford to live, party, etc. with an apartment building with an elevator then you were deemed as wealthy.

“The crowded city no longer separated its rich and poor laterally by neighborhood,” Bloomberg states in the article.

After a few dips and upticks in popularity, the modern-day rooftop emerged as a vision from excited developers. Rooftops started to become neoclassical city hall with lush gardens, dwindling real estate on the “street level” of cities also created more innovation when it came to rooftop design.

The vision of Aronson’s original rooftop bar isn’t far off from what we see today. Currently, we have tons of beautiful rooftop bars in Las Vegas that offer entertainment, amazing cuisine and craft cocktails that allows people to escape from their everyday cacophony of noise, family, bills, money and more.

Now, rooftop bars are a staple when it comes to celebrations, brunch with loved ones or a night on the town. We love our rooftop bars in Las Vegas because it’s simply a luxurious feeling to drink cocktails while looking at the beautiful glittering light of Sin City.
