STF - let's do this thing
I got the 50 Shades series in epub and I haven't figured out how to put it on my Kindle yet, but I'm not in a real hurry. I read a lot of erotica and I don't like to pay for it, so this is rubbing me the wrong way on principle alone.
In that same vein, I have been oddly fixed on a category of erotica I usually don't read and I feel like it's weird. And that's coming from ME.
I busted out the restraints this week and showed H a very good time.
Come on ladies, whatcha got this week?

We have been talking about 50 Shades over on SO this week. I would be interested in hearing if you like it or not.

what are your thoughts?
I have to say, I doubt I'm going to like it. I tend toward more...hardcore porn and it sounds more Intro to BDSM for Housewives. I'm trying to stay open-minded though.
Truthfully, I think I will stop reading it. A lot of FB friends recommended it and I don't get the hype. The writing is pretty bad. And parts of the story are unrealistic. The consensus on SO is that it is not worth your time.
ETA: there are some book recs in the same genre in the "50 shades of stupidity" post on the SO board.

We are normally missionary or me on top, but me laying down instead of straddling him types but my belly is starting to get too big for that. I'm hoping to get him to experiment with positions with me tonight. It's been almost a week and that 2nd trimester libido increase is no joke so I'm dying! Hopefully I'll have a funner (more fun?) STF next week!
ETA: 50 Shades was ok. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful. But for some reason I couldn't put it down. So I read all 3 books in 3 days, including very discreetly at my desk! Oops.
Missed M/C 11/5/2010 @ 5 weeks, 3 days* D&C 12/3/2010 at 9 weeks, 3 days
That's all we get? No details?
I totally got shut down yesterday. Flat out. It was spectacular.
eta- You can do it, Styme!! I'm pulling for you.
We attempted to do that whole 7 day challenge based on the commercials we saw for the new show.
3 days in I had to bow out. I don't know what kind of lame things those couples are doing because after 3 days straight I was SO SORE. Must condition and try again.
I'm just happy to be having more sex than the once a month I was getting.
As a side note, H has been more aggressive in bed, as in hair pulling and such. I like it.
what is this challenge you speak of??
Lifetime right? The show is called 7 days of sex or something like that.
I'm on book 3 of 50 shades and it's downright awful. I'm not quite sure why I'm still reading. Probably because I hate not finishing books lol.
Bwahahaha! We tried to do the month long one once. Yeah. It wasn't happening. I think we made it a week. And yes, lotsa lube is a necessity because holy cow.
Or maybe you are talking about a different kind of sore?
It's called "7 days of sex". I'd heard of it before but now they're starting a new show about it on I think TLC or Lifetime where they follow couples doing the challenge. The assertion is that sleeping together for 7 days will fix all your relationship woes or something like that. I think the main idea is that it restores the passion and makes you think about your partner "that way" again.
DH and I saw a commercial for the show and went, we can do that! Sounds fun! No, we can't. Apparently that day in between that we normally take is actually necessary for my well being. I'm a beebee and I need to heal.
Oh no, it's that kind of sore. The 4th day he was like, "so are you ok to go tonight?" and I was all, "god no... don't touch me... I just want a warm compress or something."
I'm sore as hell from a day and night of pretty much non-stop sex on Wednesday. Yes, very exciting and juicy, lol.
Oooh okay. That's just regular life for us, lol. Not nonstop obviously, but we have a lot of sex. It makes me sad that people go weeks (or more) without it.
Well, to be explicit, the last bj I gave him, pretty much nothing came out, he was that spent
Pretty much every time he was able to go again, we went, haha. It was basically a situation where we both played hooky from work for a little sexcation!
Woowooo!
Bf is across the country right now and I haven't gotten any in several weeks. But I'm seeing him next week and am very antsy.
We did have some pseudo phone-sex a few nights ago. And that night, I had a super hot sex dream, and I woke up mid-O. It's been happening more frequently in the last few years, and gotta say...it's fun.
LMAO he was totally drained.
I'm punny.
I won't even tell you how long it's been for us. I don't want to make you cry (and you probably would). But for us it's a combination of never being home at the same time with different schedules, toddler, me getting up at 4:30 a.m. for the last almost month and both of us being on strong anti-anxiety/anti-depression medications that kill our libidos.
Six months ago I'd have been pissed. Now, I pretty much have no desire and I'm so tired I don't care. Hoping as things even out and he gets on a schedule soon that lets us actually spend more than five minutes together on any given day, we can get back into it.
