Well, it basically harps on the idea that life without sex is simply
unbearable, and that there's something wrong with people if they don't hop
into bed within a week or so of meeting each other. Hartnett, of course,
meets "the right girl" during his 40-day vow, and she seems to think
there's something wrong with waiting a few weeks for his vow to expire
before the two of them can go at it like bunnies. Never mind the "moral"
angle, that kind of impatience just strikes me as pretty lame.
