Mrs. Cac I am a classic Highly Sensitive Person (sorry Lou, but it's true )..............I *used to* be very sensitive to surroundings and typically had a laundry list of things that had to be done or in place or what have you in order to have sex. I know that was frustrating for Cac, because the list was always changing. I'm sure some of you men can relate.
I can relate. Early in the M, BB's lists were short, mine were short. BB's lists got way too long so now I try to leave her out of the equation when I can. Some times because I want to respect her feelings. Some times because I don't want to play the games anymore. There is taking a break and there is giving up. I do some of each.
Reading your list, I will say it was stranger than BB's. I am enlightened to hear your list is getting shorter.
