Wow, good replies all around. That's why I like this place. CelibateDad, I especially liked your "Dog Breeding" story. Sometime for fun around here, we should play a game of "My Spouse has more Ridiculous Excuses than Your Spouse." We could make a big list of all the things we've heard for sex-avoidance. I'm not bragging or anything, but I think I might win this game. My wife has a dizzying array of excuses. I've heard them all.... back aches, stomach aches, headaches, ear aches, foot aches, knee aches, elbow aches, boob aches. Sometimes she's just too tired. Sometimes it was a really long day. Sometimes something good is on TV. Sometimes it's too hot. Sometimes it's too cold. Sometimes she has to get up early. Sometimes she has to prepare tomorrow's dinner. Sometimes the house is too messy. And of course, sometimes she just doesn't feel like it.
Yadda, yadda, yadda. You get the idea. We don't have a dog, but if we did, rest assured it would be a more than adequate excuse not to have sex with me.
