No, the beach was my protection. The sounds of the surf covered all the evilness going on in that condo!

Probably not. I remember what it was like when we were trying to conceive, after awhile it does become just another thing you have to do that day. I prefer it not to be in that catagory.

I would like to WANT to though

Indeed. I remember when I realized that my sister was born within a day or two of 40 weeks after my mother's birthday, which also happens to be my birthday. Happy sixth birthday, Julia! We're making you a sister!

From famine to feast, huh?

Maybe you could buy the book for your wife to give her some ideas and encouragement?

Could be.

One shelf of our home library is dedicated to marriage books. I kept buying them and giving to her as gifts for a long time.

The woman who wrote the book may mean well, but her attitude is awful. She sounds "dutiful" but not loving. Ugh!

You have sex/make love because you enjoy it, care deeply about your partner, and it strengthens the bond between you. IMO, anyway.

We both love sex, love each other, and love sex with each other. We do have sex almost every day, and have for over 10 years. Often more than once a day. Not because we think we should, or from some odd sense of duty or guilt, but because we truly want to!

I haven't read the book - it looked boring to me too. In addition, I agree if you had to "make" yourself have sex 365 days a year it would lose it's specialness and the fun of spontanaity.

Still have sex? I mean whats wrong with period sex?

I read the 1st couple of chapters, then skimmed through the rest and didn't find it that interesting. 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.

If I had it my way I have sex every single day..When I get married again..Im going to try and have sex everyday if I can..Im telling you people who have sex in the morning end up having a wonderful day..
