HP. That is quite correct about being horny during part of the cycle. Although for my W it was always about a week and a half prior to her period arriving, kind of at the mid-point in her cycle. So I've always watched her closely for that point. As for most of the last 8 years that was the only time of the month that anything might happen. So my rules were: 1) watch for the mid-point in her cycle, as this the point when due to mother nature's urges it is the best point to get pregnant(not that's what we were after), 2) Watch to see that A) she was not tired and in a good mood and 3) Make sure I hadn't done anything wrong to warrant no nookie, although this could be rather emphemeral as to what would disqualify me for nookie that particular month like breathing wrong or pointing out that I had emptyed the dishwasher for the last 6 weeks consecutively or something equally stupid and 4) Make sure the kiddo was asleep and we had headed for bed early. These were the signs that there might be nookie. Of course, I couldn't initiate either.
While this explains my spouse, I'm not sure what can explained the LD males or HD's spouse.
Scott -Who is already tired of work being so doggone busy and is cranky as his last nookie was now 3 weeks ago .
