I've recently been having an email conversation with a friend about how frustrating it can be when only one partner initiates sex.
You people know me and you know I am NOT shy when it comes to the maritals but I have to admit that the Mr. hardly gives me 24 hours to make a pass at him before he's looking all distracted and nodding at what I'm saying, but in his head I can HEAR him thinking, "Boobies."
I've got a lot going on between work and the children and servicing all of you and sometimes I'm not ready to tackle the last item on my TO DO list until after midnight and he's asleep.
But yes, I understand that it can sometimes be frustrating to always be the initiator - worse than frustrating - it can be DEMORALIZING.
We all want to be wanted and it feels good to be admired.
So today's homework is to turn to your significant other and say, "I think you're very handsome/beautiful. I love you."
That's it.
Oh, that's not sex homework you say?
Try it and tell me that.
:)
My S.O. is currently playing video games. I think this is a perfect time to do my homework. Thanks, teacher! ;-)

are you kidding me, i could just say, "honey, i..." he'd hear, "boobies" and have me on the kitchen counter before I knew what hit me! in fact, that happened last night, true story.

Whenever I tell my wife how neautiful and sexy she is, she denies that she is. It's one of my big goals in life to get her to realize just how sexy she is by any means necessary.

Of course, that should have read "I tell my wife how beautiful and sexy she is". My phone has a nasty habit of changing letters on me. (The curse of small keypad and big fingers.)
