Sex is good, but not as good as fresh sweet corn.

Garrison Keillor
About This Quote

The saying "sex is good, but not as good as fresh sweet corn" is based on the fact that corn is a food that you can have all day, every day. That's the kind of consistent food that's good for you. It's also very easy to cook. Sex also benefits us in many ways.

It helps us release stress, feel good about ourselves, bond with our partners, and have children. But sex is not quite as accessible or consistent as corn, so it doesn't have the same staying power.
