Hmmmm .... yeah. That's like saying "She was into gardening, except for the getting your hands in the dirt part" or "She liked golf, except for the hitting the ball bit".


Yup! You got that right!

I feel really sad for you SSMGuy. There is a whole world of sensuality and sexuality that you just have no experience of and no idea about.


Yes, that's what I've slowly begun to realize in recent years. At least now I know there are things I don't know, as Donald Rumsfeld might have said.

You remind me a bit of my xhusband. Maybe it's a generational thing? (He's 56 now) To him, sex was a couple of minutes of fondling, and 3 - 5 minutes of sex, a quick cuddle and intimacy is over for another 3 days. The poor man just didn't know any different - and I didn't either given I married him when I was a sexually inexperineced 24 year old.


Your xhusband sounds more like my wife, not me. Years ago, when we had intercourse, she usually thought it was taking too long and wanted me to "finish up".

Sex with new lovers after I was divorced was such a revelation. It's passionate and intimate and it takes longer than 5 minutes. Sometimes it takes 5 hours. Soemtimes all weekend.


Yes, I would love to be with a woman who wanted lots of foreplay and fooling around, and who wanted intercourse to last a long time.

If you had an issue like this at work - where one of your staff just refused to do a part of their job that was reasonably essential to making the bottom line - either because they didn't know how to or didn't want to - how would you handle it?


If you shared a house, kids, in-laws, a deep friendship and a lifetime of experiences with one of your staff, you wouldn't handle it the way you should at work. Which is why it's usually a bad idea to have your spouse be your subordinate or supervisor at work!
