Start by fucking your girl from behind. Pull out briefly and have your hidden friend quickly take your place. Then go outside and wave at her from a window.

"If less is more, how little is too much?"
There are NIL Google results for that phrase, a quotation now attributable to Possom Cohen, New Zealand.
Time becomes more valuable as one ages. This is a classic example of the Paradox of Minimalism.
The Paradox of Minimalism is related to the passage of time and to The Holiday Paradox.

Bonnie Raitt addressed the passage of time and the Paradox of Minimalism in her song "Nick Of Time."
Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time
"I see my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you
Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste
Mmm-m-m-m-m-m
Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time"

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”
― Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay

The Paradox of Minimalism is epitomized in the opening sentence of this 2016 New York Times article:
"It has become an ostentatious ritual of consumerist self-sacrifice; people who have it all now seem to prefer having nothing at all."

The Paradox of Minimalism also describes some very rich people giving away most of their material possessions.
“The richer you are, the less you have.”
Another ironic example of the Paradox of Minimalism is the recent KonMari decluttering craze:

Trump. This actually isn’t the Trump Paradox, it’s THE AMERICAN PARADOX.
What this actually says is that about 40% of Americans are actually good with antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism.
If any of the -isms apply to you; the, it is unlikely that you are surprised by this. The people who are surprised by this is the people who would vote for Trump because “he’s a man of his times”; they “don’t necessarily like Trump, but they love his policies”; think “minorities, immigrants and women expect to much”; and that “we should save American for Americans”.
Which just means that they don’t know the meaning of the words: antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism — or that those words apply to them. Maybe THIS is the true paradox.
With apologies to Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus, The tired, The poor, The hungry, and the huddled masses yearning to be free.

The Trump Paradox: many people hate the man but love his policies — which means they are just hiding their true feeling about society behind smiles and neoliberalism.

How can anyone expect them to understand out group concepts & ideas when they can't spot the most blatant and openly fallacious mistakes of their own ideas?
Example of The Midwit Paradox:
Midwit: Significant disparities between racial groups can only be indicative of environmental or genetic reasons, and that any environmental factor must be racism!
Rationalist: That's a black & white fallacy. That is erroneous because many environmental factors such as culture, religion, and the differing traditional values, or various nuances that come with them are based on free choice. Anyone spouting what you are arguing via reductio ad absurdum would be forced to conclude that free will is somehow racist... which is ridiculous.
Midwit: No it's not, you're just rambling nonsense! The experts agree with me! That's not the consensus! SOUUUURRRCEEE? You're bad and a newtsee! Anyone else who agrees with you is also bad and a newtsee/boogeyman! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rationalist: *Facepalm*
