The Little Train That Couldn't

From: KM- out there somewhere

Question

Monday - Came home from work and cleaned the house, laundry, dishes, vacuumed. When I got amorous that night she "wasn't in the mood."

Tuesday - Bought her flowers. Once again not in the mood. But she did stay up late reading out on the couch.

Wednesday - Had a home cooked meal on the table when she got home. Once again, NO, too tired, so she watched the late Lifetime movie.

Thursday - Drew her a hot bath, candles, bath salts, the whole works. She took the bath, but was too tired to do anything else.

Friday - Took her out to supper at her favorite restaurant. When we got home she had a headache, out of luck again.

Saturday - Decided "what the hell." Laid on the couch in my underwear all day and did nothing but watch football. Had one or two beers (honestly). Go back to bed and she's ready to go, until she smells the beer on my breath and immediately loses interest.

What happened???

Comments

Dear KM,

For the true Mommy sex is a nuisance. But we do like your effort.

A. The flowers- did you buy them at the check-out counter right along with your six-pack? Might have done more harm than good. Mommies like "real" flowers. TIP- It helps if they receive them in front of witnesses so they can gloat and brag about them for a few days.

B. Love the candles and especially the bath salts. Unfortunately, with the hot bath you may have sabotaged your efforts by placing her basal temperature over the “fertility limit”, thus steering her sex drive into the ditch. Read the chapter on Fire And Sex in our book for more info on this.

C. The calming effect of having you around all day on Saturday may have put her in the mood. Your brewery breath was the turn off here, you can only get away with that as a newlywed. Next time brush the hell out of your teeth and use some mouthwash.

Our Recommendation: There is one approach that you didn’t mention, one that has worked over the centuries. POUR HER A BIG GLASS OF WINE!

Report back on your results.
