what is the seven year itch?

Answer 1

Its when the "honeymoon period" finishes, the kids have been born and you start to get bored with each other. This is the peak period for divorces. The remedy is to try to go out more on your own, get a babysitter, rediscover the time when you first went out with each other. Make passionate love in the countryside or back of the car, do a bungey jump together!!! do anything that will put the spark back, rediscover yourselves

Answer 2

The Seven Year Itch (1955) is a delightful, sophisticated and witty farce, using to the fullest extent the mordant humor of director Billy Wilder on the subject of sex. The 'seven year itch' refers to the urge to be unfaithful after seven years of matrimony, with a desire to satisfy one's sexual urges ('itches').

It was adapted from a Broadway play of the same name by George Axelrod, with Tom Ewell reprising his Broadway role (although on stage, Ewell had played opposite Vanessa Brown instead of the alluring MM). The film's entire story was an elaboration of the first scene in Wilder's directorial debut film The Major and the Minor (1942). Although the play was about an actual consummated affair, it was modified due to the Hays Code in force at the time, and many of the best lines from the play were cut.

The entertaining film is best known for the definitive performance of the radiant Marilyn Monroe with a little girl's giggly voice (her 23rd film) - basically portraying herself as a blonde bombshell, and known simply as The Girl. The film's promotional tease photographs packaged her as the sexually-endowed girl next door - an ideal fantasy figure. In the film, one indeed wonders whether Marilyn Monroe's character is an actual person or rather the living embodiment of the urban executive's wild imagination - a fantasy.

Answer 3

an old wives tale, you hear married people say they have the seven year itch, or their partner cheated on them because of the 7 year itch.. I think that it is just an excuse for going off and cheating " oh its ok she only cheated cause she had the 7 year itch"

Answer 4

A movie starring Marilyn Monroe. Here's the basic plot idea:

Like many other Manhattan husbands, Richard Sherman sends his wife and son to the country for the summer, while he stays behind to toil. Though reveling in temporary bachelor freedom of lifestyle, he's resolved not to carouse and philander like some others. But his overactive, over-vivid imagination goes into overdrive when a delightfully unconventional, voluptuous blonde moves in upstairs.

Answer 5

Most divorces occur around the 7 year anniversary of you and your partner.

Not necessarily 7 years of marriage. You could have been married for 4 years and together for 3 before yo got married. (Adds up to seven years)

You are basically starting to get bored of you relationship.

Answer 6

Its what you are going to get if you dont wash for about 7 years.

You could always try standing in the rain, but it wont get to those greasy/crusty bits unless you do it in the nude.

To be honest, if its been that long you could probably do with putting yourself through a car wash or a napalm bath....;-)

Answer 7

Put a rat in a cage with a female and he will copulate as much as he can, but after a time will loose interest. Add another female and he'll be at it all over again.
Seems to be true of humans too, after a while....
