I gather they were a christian fundamentalist couple and this gift seemed to be almost part of a religious thing where the wife submits to her husband. She had previously tended to put off sex and apparently felt guilty about it.

I found the book condescending to men. She seemed to treat her husband as a little boy being given a treat and then sent on his way. She tended to talk about that day's mundane details while he was going at it and this understandably bothered him. From the parts I read, she rarely said anything good about the act, other than it was occasionally "nice". Of course, maybe that says more about him than her.

Anyway, what would your reaction be if your spouse told you they were going to gift you with sex every night for a year? As for me, a 51 year old male, I would probably run for the hills. I'm not married but when I was married, I did enjoy sex with my wife on occasion but would not want to indulge every night. I would think that after a few months, both people would be screaming for mercy. Hell, after a few weeks of nightly sex, that computer porn would start looking pretty good.
Does this take menstruation into account? Also, what about oral and/or anal sex? I guess getting gross here, but I wonder.....

...um, I'll stop, now. I do have quite a collection. *blush*
I have just the rabbit...and it served me well in times of....well, drought. It just occurred to me that my BF doesn't even know I have this toy.

So, take the 365 days minus the 5-6 days per month (give an extra day just to be sure because I dont want any of that stuff on me) and we've got 72 days per year of "no way in hell are we having sex" then you end up with 293 days.

So, YES, I would love to have sex with my wife 293 days out of 365 of the year.

My ex-husband bought me mine, after I introduced him to the world of sex toys. I won't even say what he bought for himself, just that it surprised me quite a bit. 0.o

I bet he'd love knowing about it. My husband bought me my first one. It's actually more fun when he uses it on me, than when I've used it on myself.

Exactly.

I have never had a problem with a guy refusing to have sex during "that THING". (Jeez, is it really hard to say "her period"? ) Just lay down some towels, and you're fine (talking regular sex, here, not oral. Blech) I realize some cultures or religion may have restrictions there, though. For me, orgasms are intensified during that time, AND they alleviate cramps. Then you hop in the shower afterwards, and everything's all squeaky clean, again.

That may be true, but there are just some things that I rather not have on me ever. Her period stuff is one of them. I wouldnt want my friends to vomit on me either, that can be washed off. Would you want that? I know I wouldnt.

She'll get over having to wait for sex until she's off her period. This is just something I have never done and will never do.

Agreed. Can't imagine that being a problem for someone.

I heard a woman being interviewed on the radio about this; she may not have been this author, but she had written a book about this topic. The only reason I think she might not have been the same author is because she didn't talk about sex being a treat or seem to begrudge her husband, like the OP described. I think she did say that her marriage went through a rough time and she and her husband wanted to see if they could do this and what effect it would have. She said that it seemed like a lot of fun at first but more of a chore as time wore on, and there were times when they had to force themselves to do it. (They had to, for the book.)

I think CPG's lobster analogy is correct, but I also think that it would take me quite a while to grow tired of lobster. I'm willing to do the research. It's for science.
