Yeah, it's definitely not an exact science. There's good reasons for that to be the case, but it does get frustrating sometimes.

I took a page from chromosphere's new playbook and did the "you know you want it" to break down her resistance. It took a really long time for her to really get into it, and she was in a good mood afterward for about 15 minutes. Two or three times over the following couple of days she'd smile and say "thank you" or "mmmm... that was nice", with an apparent subtext of "I wish I felt up to trying that again". I didn't push for it yet, because it really was a hell of a lot of work without a whole lot of payoff to get her past whatever's bothering her and I'm waiting for her to feel better. Again, her PMS seems to last longer than it used to, and I'm wondering if there's a medical reason for that or she's just worn down from living with a guy she's not currently all that attracted to who still wants to have sex with her. In the latter case, though, I guess she wouldn't be fondly remembering any encounters. Or else she's trying to reassure me, along with that "I'm not making excuses to get out of it. Really!" thing she's been doing.

a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
