I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all
dear , let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT?"

I then said "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....

HA! What's good for the gander is good for the goose too eh? LMAO

Really it is an interesting catch 22. Ladies seem to need emotional context before the physical. And men seem to need the physical to build the emotional part of the relationship. I feel your pain man, but all I can say is to open up to her and talk about it.

In doing so

1. you might make her feel and emotional contact with you for opening up and sharing your feelings.

2. you might get the point across to her

Daystar,

Dollars to doughtnuts you made most of that story up. But I'll tell you this, as I read the story, I thought you were going to the "I bought her all this stuff and still nothing" story.

I like your ending better.

Daystar builds em up, Daystar Knocks em down

I'd bank on not getting any for several days, lol.

LOL! that was funny.

Personally, I would never say that to a guy when things get turned up. IMO that is a form of manipulation and teasing that is really unkind. I think women who do this have power struggles or something. besides turning my guy down when he is all ready to go would just be denying myself enjoyment!

I really don't understand certain women. lol!

daystar

Hah! Oh no, I didn't even write that. Just thought it was funny and passed it along. I should have mentioned that.

"Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Uh...NO!

Try that line on her next time you go "shopping"...

Can't you just love me for who I am...and not what I can buy for you?
****sigh****

My good Dubbie wife pulled that shit ALL THE TIME!

No joke.

freedomlover

ahhh yes u/d.

I believe there are many JW wives who pull that line all the time. They have very little control in their relationship and their lives, so therefore I think some of them think this is an area they can control and call the shots. ya know?

I was just relating a story to someone the other day of a JW wife who told me how she hated sex with her husband and she would usually just lay there and after a few minutes say "are you done yet?" what the hell!! I can't imagine that poor guy having to deal with that.

and they wonder why masturbation and pornography are such big *problems* among the witnesses?
