Lots of posts on this thread overnight.
Okay, first off, Lou Paget's book sounds wonderful, but my wife isn't ready to read it yet. Heck, she thought TSSM was the "usual" type of book about just putting out to make the HD spouse happy. I don't even think she's ready for PM, starting out as it does with the story of the couple where the woman has fantasies etc. But when I think she's ready, I'll recommend it to her. Thanks, eo.

Tim: I'll check out those pages...the book is in my van right now, and I'll have to go out at lunch and get it.

Dave: Why did you change your name? You sound like some sort of rutting buck now.

Corri: I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here. Are you saying that the no-pressure isn't working, or that applying pressure isn't going to work? I'm thinking that the only pressure I'm going to apply for the next month or so (two weeks of which we will be on vacation) is what Tom recommends, e.g. "let's ML" "No" "Okay, no problem (thought bubble saying 'your loss, babe.')"

It rained a huge amount here in Missouri last night. One of our cats (outdoor cats) jumped up on the porch and his fur was wet. I mentioned to my W, "Look at that. It's been a long time since I've seen a pussy that wet." She didn't react. Now come on, I was trying to be funny, and if you had heard my voice, you would have known that. I suppose this will be thrown back at me as "pressure." If so, I think her barometer is just plain broken.

Hairdog - who laughed at that joke again, just now, as he was writing it.
