No Junk Punches

My boys are 6 and 7 and they each spend a significant portion of their day with their head locked underneath the otherone's armpit, bumping and thumping and rolling, Tasmanian Devil style from room to room.

This is all well and good until someone bumps into something sharp and painful and then goodnatured turns decidedly BAD natured and they attempt to inflict real pain on each other.

As a result my husband implemented a "NO Punches to the Junk" rule to protect the boys, their budding manhood and our future grandchildren.

On a COMPLETELY separate note: on Tuesdays my mother comes to visit the kids and take them out for lunch.  Also, I typically work out of the home on Tuesdays so this gives my SAHD husband the house all to himself so that he can either get something done or, typically, to nap.  Today I didn't leave for work until after my mother had taken the children.

I walked in to the kitchen to discuss something with my husband.  As I was talking I could tell that he was looking at my hair, at my clothing, etc.  I could tell that he was thinking about something BESIDES the VERY IMPORTANT thing I was discussing.

"You're not listening to me." I complained.

"Yes I am" he insisted.

I looked down, POINTEDLY, at his crotch where his erection was making a VERY OBVIOUS bump in his shorts.  He followed my gaze and then looked sheepish. He burst out laughing.  "I was TRYING to listen." he said.

He walked over and hugged me affectionately, TOO affectionately.

"I want to hit you right now."  I said.

"In the package." I added.

"Why do you think I made that rule?" he asked.

Is that what they mean when they say men are thinking with their penises? That's a pretty smart penis!

When I read your blog I am never surprised you have such lovely kids. Because you have such an amazing sex life for a married couple. Most people with more than one child institute a "don't even think about it" rule.

So, with a husband turned on by the mere sight of you and places to be I'm thinking junk punches aren't a bad idea :P

Your husband is smart...Plus, I do admire your relationship with your husband.

You are two very lucky people! Embrace it!

[AlexanderDope]

Speaking for the men, I have to agree with SLY -- do embrace it. But, for the love of God, don't punch it! In fact, don't even talk about punching it. I'm experiencing sympathetic pain similar to what a lot of you feel when Kit gets all geo-political and talks about the Brazilian deforestation of the Amazon basin.

To paraphrase: "One man's junk is that man's treasure." So please, no closed fist punching. Closed fist stroking always welcome, though.

So no morning lovin for the mister?

Can I just say that I think that is the most awesome thing I ever read? And also that I'm jealous? I think you should treasure the junk.

I was thinking the same thing Karen! That hasn't happened to my fiance and I in probably 5 years!

This is fab as usual. I am inspired by anyone who has an awesome sex life post-kids, all too often you hear the complaints of those who don't (they could complain less and do it more, I suppose).
No rugrats yet, but if when the kids come along me and future hubby still manage the wild thing half as much as you guys seem to then I will be a happy chick! X

Men never change!

I remember when I had a sex life...glad I can read about someone that has a great one! Get your man!
