Thanks for the list of suggestions. I do leave my copies of SSM and PM and a few other books out for her to see. Not primarily because I think she'll read them, though I wish she would, but so that she'll know I care enough to study the problem. I have ordered the Men's Health Guide to Sex. I'll have to be careful leaving that one about, because there will surely be pictures, and the kids are too young for that type of exposure (D6 and S4). I mentioned what my wife said to me because I think it was primarily a function of her irritation at the time. She also mentioned my weight. I'm 6'1" and 190 pounds. I could stand to move the weight around, from belly to arm and leg muscles. She is thin, but I think we could both stand to be more physicaly active. And I think it would be fun for us, so I will suggest that we do some more walking. etc. I realize that what she is saying is not completely correct, but I think it is what she feels. I also know she is not that comfortable talking about specific sexual issues, either in or out of bed. In fact, she very often started crying while I was doing oral sex on her. Perhaps I 'm not perfect, but the crying gave me pause.
