Controversial thread : Sex after baby

[Glamourcide]

You guys must have awesome husbands. If mine did all that for me, I'd probably be putting out too! Truth be told, he'll do it - if I can't cope any more. But that's not really a situation condusive to romance (or even throwing a leg over, because romance is far too tiring!) (gee my DH is sounding a bit awful right now... not true! but he's still not getting any!)

Lol Entreat, I have to wonder if such guys actually exist... ha, mine quit with the romantic back rubs about 5 minutes after the POAS came back +ve! I like to think we have a really equal relationship, it's just that our definition of 'equal' would leave some people with mouths gaping... that's okay, they don't need to understand the ins and outs of how we run our lives together because they're not a part of it

Sleep deprivation IS a medical reason. WTF's wrong with putting your own physical requirements (sleep) ahead of your partners sexual ones. an hour of extra sleep, to me, is worth more than the goofy smile he gets on his face post-coitus.

Orrr, from my POV - I can go to bed at midnight, have a quickie and be fast asleep by 12:20... or I can go to bed at midnight and argue for 45 minutes about how I'm really just too tired tonight, babe, can I please just go to sleep and we'll try again tomorrow? And then by the time he gives up, I feel like a cow for dragging it out for so long when I could have just told him, 'Okay, but don't expect fireworks tonight' and had it over with in 15 minutes!
Again, that's just us DH has a habit of treating sex like a sleeping pill anyway so there are nights we DTD even when neither of us is particularly fussed about it - it just helps us both sleep better.

ETA: Hope you get that goofy smile, girl! I actually find that if I don't put up a fuss about it when I'm not into it, DH actually does try to get me off and at least half the time, he's successful... so give it a shot even if he's been a bit of a prat that day and you're generally feeling like there are a thousand things you'd rather be doing - it could just pay off for you both! x

ETA2: And I'm off to take one for the team, ladiieeees I dare all of you who are physically and mentally capable to do the same tonight! Demand satisfaction!
