Re: totally NER: sex for 101 days in a row.
AMEN. NO orgasm??? WTF is the point??
I think it would become a chore for me, especially on days when I'm sick and/or exhausted. I can imagine saying "Just get it over with!" I think that would be the end of the romance.
Wow, major, that's rough. I've been going since Labor Day, and I feel bad just for myself about that. I have (eww, sorry) bad eczema on my legs right now, so I refuse to drag a razor over them. DH never cares. I always say how sorry I am about my hairy legs, and he's like, "I so don't even care!"
hehe. Ditto major. Shaving isn't a prerequisite for sex in this household.
...his doctor recommended he drink orange juice every day to make his chemistry more girl friendly.
Mominatrix, does this seriously work? If so, AWESOME. I hate UTIs.
More power to them, but I would never even bother attempting this. Knowing I *have* to do something makes me not want to do it. And I wouldn't want to do any one activity every day, including my favorite things.
Another review on Amazon:
"They keep it basic, usually quick ins and outs late at night after they put the kids to bed"
So bad sex is better than no sex? A few thrusts and then, goodnight? Does that even count as sex? That's teenage sex. I'd expect more from 40 year olds.
I went with my HS bf to visit Humbolt college senior year and we stayed with his dad and stepmom. They spent the two nights we were there in a tent on the beach so we wouldn't hear them going at it. We still heard them. Awk-ward.
Exactly, I would be afraid that a standard would be set that foreplay and orgasms are a luxury instead of just part of the deal.
a lot of the book was about the emotional intimacy that came from the daily sex...
one thing they realized they had to do if they were going to make it work for 100 days is that they had to be more aware of each other - - what kind of day they were having, how they felt, etc. The sex became the reason for tuning in more to each other
I am the 99%.
This is, IMHO, an unduly harsh read on the book. Yea, some of it was quickies... but some wasn't...
I am the 99%.
I could see this helping with intimacy - maybe on a shorter schedule (or with breaks for AF...)
...see, one month seems like a much more reasonable time frame... something that seems fun and do-able.
I am the 99%.
Totally agree.
Why do you have to wax them? NO razor? My legs are the only things I don't wax.
OK, well now I know where the sex/shaving thread came from! And this thread is awesome too!
The sex was the reason for tuning more into each other? I don't know. Seems to me emotional intimacy is more emotional when it happens without the physical part?
As for forcing sex every day? I couldn't help but think about what some will do to TTC. It's something we refuse to do, so I highly doubt we're candidates for 101 days of forced sex to get emotionally intimate. I think having daily conversations at the dinner table is more our style...LOL.
