It really is annoying to encounter all sorts of references to the stereotype that the man is the one who is always ready for "action". My husband and I were watching an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" that had to do with the "Vagina Monologues" the other night . In this episode,Larry David tells his wife that the reason she always has to initiate sex is that he is always ready to go and needs limits. I had to control the urge to give my LDH a very pointed look.
I've also told myself that I need to stop reading sex manuals that are meant for ND couples. It is just too frustrating.
Here is something to ponder. Following a suggestion from Honeypot I encountered on this board, last night I asked my husband "In an ideal world, how many times a week would you have sex?" He replied that he thought about twice a week was right! I absolutely have no memory of the last time we had sex twice in the same week. I have to assume that either his world is far, far from ideal or else doesn't include me. I wanted to ask some follow up questions but he told me he wasn't in the mood for the discussion because he was watching a program about genocide and the topics didn't exactly mix.
