Last night I initiated via H's "just grab it" method and, folks, I do have to admit that he really likes this method. I wish it did more for me, is all. However, it works and he likes it so I keep it in the arsenal.
The sex was great and I had the best O I have had in years--maybe ever.
He didn't finish and this is the second (consecutive) time this week this has happened. What a bummer! I understand his difficulties but it really does take a wonderful experience (for me) and cast it in a different light, when the whole thing is over. I know that after I O, he is too worried that I am physically uncomfortable to be able to continue for himself. He will not, however, go first so it looks like it will be Honey Only sex from now until delivery! Ah my H has a way of putting himself into these dilemmas and I can only sit back and shake my head and wonder if/when he will ever knock it off.
The interesting thing is that I have told him that, right now, the ONLY physically pleasurable thing for me to encounter is sex. And maybe a foot massage. So there is not a time while we are ML that I am thinking, Sheesh wouldja hurry up. In fact, I have thought that only a handful of times since we married and would NEVER tell him that.
At any rate, this past week has been one of the most pleasant of the entire pregnancy. I think we are both starting to calm down a bit...with the realization that it is almost over.
Pregnancy is truly a hard time for me. I don't particularly care for being pg, though I don't hate it. I just don't seem to get as much out of the experience as some women do.
H's desire tanks; you all know that. In the first two pregnancies he cut me off after about 3 months and I spent the last months a hormonal lunatic. (ha! You guys thought I was bad at times during THIS one, you should have seen me on the Completely Celibate Program) During this last pg, he has made a stupendous effort to continue to be sexual and fight through his tendency to be turned off by it. I am really proud of him. He hasn't always been successful and I haven't always been appreciative of his (small) efforts but overall this pregnancy has FAR surpassed what I thought it would be.
Honey, who is off to go clean toilets. Ah, the glamorous job of a housewife.
