After asking, how to get him to want to and remember?
Hmmm.
1. Draw a little heart on his forhead with red ink every night while he's sleeping? (variation on the string on the finger technique!) 2. Send him to Dr. Phil, who can explain that wives deprived of emotional intimacy become "hungry lions". 3. Write him an excellent love letter first and, in it, request that he write you one as well.
A combination of all of the above might reinforce some behavior-modification, lolol!
Somewhere in all of the Venus/Mars books I recall seeing an example of a H's letter to his wife describing the feelings that he had regarding their love-making. It was the kind of letter most wives would treasure, not to mention that it was very erotic.
I think maybe it was Venus & Mars in the Bedroom or Great Sex or something like that. Not only did it explain the way many women have the need for emotional intimacy as PART of their sex-drive, but also gave a really good example of such a letter. Maybe there is a way to work that book into your request.
