Ok.....heres another off the wall question that is totally not sex related....mothers/mothers to be/or ladies who have put thought into this....what kind of spiritual path do you teach your children? Originally I thought Id raise my daughter to make up her own mind on what spirtual path to chose cuz I dont think it's right to force something that works for me onto my child without giving her the chance to explore herself first. I practice Buddhism...and the more I do so the more I want to expose her to it as well...the problem is that she is totally not interested and in fact would rather go to a Christian church with my parents then go with me. That kinda sucks. So anyways...just curious what other moms do.
Jees. I would have thought the guys would be begging for it. And its always the picture that the women are too tired or are the ones who aren't bothered about sex. Interesting... Unless the guys are too shy?!
I'm Pagan and my husband is Christian. We've decided that we'll teach our children tolerance and answer any questions they might have about beliefs from a variety of viewpoints. Like until they're old enough to start voicing an opinion they'll go to community rituals/drum circles with me and church with my husband. (Or as a family...we don't always do religion separate.)
He doesn't want to be turned down if I'm tired/he leaves it to me to initiate; he knows I can't and won't go very long without it.
I have the exact problem...when my guy gets turned down so many times he just stops trying. I think its one of the biggest challenges for a guy is to get to the point where he is able to read how their partner is feeling. Me and my boyfriend have created a code...i only kiss him with tongue when im feeling kinky. it works really well.
Because girls have a habit of hiding their emotions so you never know what they're up for, not to mention the fact that they're never up for anything. So you give up and wait. /driveby mancaving.
but you cant give up! that simply means you wont recieve sex at all. its a little game our body plays... your lack of motivation will turn us off...its this vicious cycle.
So you're saying you want sex, but still feel the need to make it so intimidating that you won't get it? It's not fun to "win" the game and get a girlfriend, only to have to keep dealing with seeming apathy and distaste, whatever she may really want. mancave over and out.
well its more like there is this delicate equation for a woman to be in the mood. if there is other things going on in her life forget it.(being tired, stressed ect.) so when you stop trying to seduce her then she gets tired of starting the act. then she wont be in the mood because you dont seduce her anymore because you think shes not in the mood. thats the cycle. and this is mostly for long term relationships.
This whole "You won't seduce me so I'll never be in the mood to seduce you" isn't really what goes on in most healthy long term relationships. Certainly isn't present in my marriage.
oh no its cool. i was really just siding with mandyland. I have had this situation but i already talked to him about it.
Starbuck...the cycle you explained is exactly whats happened! lol. I plan on rocking his world tomorrow night to get things going again....wish I could tonight but am leaving in a minute to go visit my cousain in the bay area!!!! Wooooooop!
you go girl haha relationships are just another continuous learning process! We are faced with new problems all the time but thats what makes life wonderful. It would be so boring otherwise.
oh man, my pregnant body is feeling so bloated and icky. so tired. yeah, definitely not in the mood tonight for anything, but thats ok cuz my man is playing cards... and im here just listening to the rants. not sure how im gonna raise my kid spiritually. i was raised a catholic... went through all that bullshit, but im glad i did. it was a church that believed in community. growing up in a lower-middle class but huge family, the church used to supply some of our christmas gifts. plus it gave my housewife mom support. but i definitely dont believe in the whole thing anyway. i like to take bits and pieces from so many religions, ideas, beliefs, etc and create my own. perhaps i will show my child as much as they want to know.
