Tee hee. I have to laugh at we HDWs. Yes, I suppose it is tough to ravish the willing. However, under that category I also include scenarios like: a little grab in the kitchen that gets insistent, followed by a suggestion in the ear and a surreptitious trip to the br where you barely get the door closed before you find yourself engaged in partially clothed, standing up sex. That is ravishment if it is driven primarily by the desire of one partner that sets alight the desire in the other.

Here a story of ravishment gone awry. On our honeymoon (only two years ago) H and I were driving to an island festival and I was rubbing his leg. He said, "You better stop or I will pull this car over and f*ck your brains out." Of course, I didn't stop. He pulled the car over in a cove we had visited the day before but alas, there were people there. When we made it back to the hotel several hours (and drinks) later I donned my lingerie, H turned on the tv and proceeded to cuddle with me until falling into a happy drunken sleep. That is probably the closest I have come to ravishment by my H or I might actually be able to remember one other occasion that would qualify.

IHJ - watch the way you refer to yourself. I understand that we sometimes get down on ouselves and our less than stellar contributions to the marriage but we all have our areas where we are repressed and we all can be a b!tch at times.
