Yes amen (as usual) to Bagheera's points about being in mommy mode. It is very hard for most women to switch roles.

Plus...ok this one is hard to say because there are not many descriptions help me describe this but...men and little boys tend to try to *distract* mommies and they get gwumpy when they can't have all of mommy's attention at any given time.

Now I'm not sure if you (men) will recognize this within yourselves, but I have a theory that for some reason, for you men, if you can draw mommy away from her task and lure her into a sexual mood, you somehow feel *success* at something you have in your minds as a gauge to your own seductive powers. You seem to even be ok with just luring her into a mood, not even having to get her into bed. Somehow you think that this *says* something if you can turn her mind off from her task at hand and on to YOU and your sexy self.

Well...if you guys could just...you know....not do that? I mean, I have no idea where this comes from, but I do know that it isn't really fair to us women to do this when it is mostly because you want some kind of ego stroke. Now don't 2x4 me back, because I know you aren't wanting sex with your wife as an ego stroke. I am talking specifically about this bizarre habit of you guys insisting on trying to get your wife to get into the mood while she has her elbows deep in dishes and little kids at her skirt. Why do you want it specifically *at this time*? Is there any merit to my feeling that it is some kind of challenge or gauge to you?

Not sure if I am way off base or not but basically, nearly all men do this and nearly all women dislike it.
