Grilling and eating BBQ is better than a night of sex

Making and eating asado, better than a night of sex
A little asado with all the ceremony: them preparing the fire, her in charge of the salad; long table, red wine, choripán and then the rib, eternal Sunday afternoon and watching the sun set with a full belly. The ritual is as famous as it is delicious and this is what Argentines like to do most in their free time, according to several polls.

In an online survey by Yahoo, the responsible for a forum asks directly: What's better, eating Argentine asado or having sex?. Among the multiple responses of various participants from all Latin America, a Cordovan assures: There is a variant, which consists of having sex while preparing the asado. Although it's true that the meat gets a bit burnt, it all depends on the skill of the grill master.

Another study, carried out by the consulting firm D'Alessio Irol, also ensures that asado leads widely among local preferences for meals.

PERFIL consulted 500 men and 500 women using an email survey, what they like to do most in their free time and the coincidence between genders was at this point: asado. Sex ranked second. But Argentine meat was equal on both grill and bed.

A high percentage of them opted for window shopping and talking on the phone among their preferences, while men chose going to the stadium and playing soccer.

Treat yourself. The ideal is, at least once a week, to find time to do something that causes pleasure, says licensed psychologist Mauricio Sánchez, and explains why asado leads among preferences: Group activities usually are what Argentines enjoy most; it's no coincidence they also chose going to the stadium, playing soccer and going shopping.

Sociologist Ana Lecumbe says that moving in a tribe gives security and that's why at the time of the majority disperses and chooses group activities. Additionally, it stands out: The barbecue ceremony includes the complete ritual, not just eating it, and that implies a shared moment and even talks about national identity. Moreover, it is rich and famous worldwide.

A the grill. The order would be thus: Barbecue with everything, sex to digest, and afterwards, cold leftovers from the barbecue. That's an ideal world, fantasizes Sebastián Sánchez, 25 years old, who also defines himself humorously as a great barbecuer and excellent lover.

Leonora Mastrolorenzo, a 40-year-old architect, says: The question was what I like to do most in my free time, and the first thing that came to mind was barbecue. It's the moment to unwind from all the week's pressures. At home, we have one every Sunday during summer and occasionally during winter, but it's really missed. It's not the same as having a snack at the quincho or pizzas or pasta in the living room.

Beyond the economic crisis, enjoying oneself continues to be chosen. Barbecue and sex lead among the most realistic options. Totally local, grilled meat is number one because there's sex everywhere, but an Argentine barbecue only here.
