I think I am suffering from what LFL goes through, wanting to be pursued, chased, seduced not just requested. What my H does is the equivalent of a polite request, it does not turn me on so I don't really respond to it.
You too? Sorry about that. It stinks. My H is getting better about it but we've had a few incidences the past couple weeks where he did the "polite" thing and when I didn't give an obvious "green light" he gave up. So I know what you mean about wanting a little more persuasion. If he tried a little harder, he mught have gotten lucky. See, men don't get that (as we have seen from some of the responses). And while I can agree with Nop that we should be more direct, some of the best parts of the whole sexual "act" is the come-on. If women have to make obvious our intentions, than we lose a big part of the act itself I say. Anyone can say "ok, let's have sex." It's too mechanical that way and just not a turn on (as much). LFL
