HP: Sorry about the fertility stuff. That is a terribly painful situation. I think my H is comfy with both too but it is easier for him to express desire in the "lets make babies" lingo than in more explicit lingo. When we were dating he would say "Can we have sex now? I am getting anxious." He meant anxious as in excited but now I think it is both.
Laurie - do you feel that your H is anxious about ML? Do you think that the procreation thing weighs into it at all?
