Good advice there. There's many a true word spoken in jest. Well worth a 5 star.
Hilarious read until you realise how close to home this is. Thanks for the advice and making me laugh.
Great read, enjoyed the humor. Thank you for sharing this excellent story.
I didn’t know that I needed to read this... pretty sure my husband did, though... you need to write it all out... this is a New York Times best seller in the making.
Best thing I've seen on this subject for a long, long time. Too many sad lonely half-a-couple people getting no help - or terrible, useless advice from "professional" idiots. So, thanks much, for taking thought and time to write this.
Apple of Eden said it all. Funny as hell, and so wise. Hmmm... need my checklist. Where did I put that?
Seriously, do you make a living in an office that has a couch? Is one of your work lines, "Please sit or lay down and make yourself comfortable? So, what's on your mind today? or When we last met, we left off with you..."
If not, maybe you want to think about it. It's a fantastic living. Plus, you have the added benefit of being able to say, "I am kink and BDSM friendly...so please, come in."
Again, I enjoyed your writing and your story/article. I feel a little sorry for your wife though...I hope she enjoys your sense of humor~! I did really crack up with the line (paraphrasing)... marry/date a Jew, we're programmed/taught to please our women...PRICELESS~!
for the advice and the comic relief. I laughed so hard I woke my lover (of 18 years), who fell asleep 10 seconds after we hit the jackpot. I went to Literotica for some more entertainment. And found it! Did I say thank you?
This will be one of the first things I show to my wife, with the caption 'Think of it as... and inoculation.'
I really wish that liking sex wasn't so openly taboo in our society. (Because maybe then more people would read stuff like this.) It's the one thing that EVERY generation of humans shares, and it's been that way for the past few million years. And for our species to survive, it ain't gonna change.
for writing down what so many feel. My husband and I will b married 12 yrs and we have 3 kids in elem. school. We r always tired,busy, and some days we just don't like each other. Thanks for discussing the 15 min rule, and the rest for that matter. U have such a comfortable way of discussing sex...not what I'd expect from a Jersey guy. Ur wife is very lucky.
what a wonderful article! It is informative and gets to the heart of the issues, but it does so in a lighthearted comical way. I have found all of your how-to articles to be this way but I can really relate to this one. Thanks and your style of writing is very enjoyable to read.
While there are many that feel this is advice is good, I feel, it is not. From my perspective, I found it to be anecdotal and terminology based on colloquialism. At least for me, I would have preferred it to less casual.
I just really hope my husband can read this and realise a good sex life takes effort.
Wonderful artical, Must of your advice I was already doing but there was a few things I had stopped doing and didn't realize it until I was reading your article.
The 15 minute sex was an eye opener.
TY
Another solution to to the problem which I intend to try is to give a copy of this article to her for her to read.
Well done.
Thanks for taking the time to write this. have been wondering why we always have an excuse not to have sex when we do its amazing mind blowing but we wait a week to do it again. we are only punishing our selfs. Not anymore time to go to the adult store and buy some toys and have some fun again. Greatly apreaceate
Your wife is one lucky woman! Wise, gorgeously playful advice, and incredibly well written. Well done.
You are an amazing writer - and you may hopefully have just saved a 22+ year relationship! You adeptly decribe everything that is so easily taken for-granted! And your suggestions for reviving old flames are superb! I'll be letting my partner read this one for sure! You should think seriously about publishing your work - you truly have incredible talent from all the pieces I've read on the site! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, humor and straightforward common sense!
Superb, thank you. If just one couple benefits from your article, it'll been have worth it. God bless.
Very well said. I can absolutely relate to so many things you said. Good timing too. This weekend I'm stating my case and making my requests for some big changes in our sex life. I've been putting it off for years. Your article just reaffirmed what I am about to do. Here's hoping it goes well. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the care and the humour with which you treated this difficult matter. How many good advices and observations! Oh, if only we would not wait so long before taking measures, when the red light has turned on!
