Here are 5 reasons to have more s*x with your husband
1. Being a mother, one of the ultimate expressions of womanhood, can
often leave a girl feeling stri*ped of her femininity. There is
something about being covered in spit up and attending to the every need
of another human being that makes one feel distinctly gender neutral.
Most of my days are spent playing with dolls, wiping baby food off of my clothes, changing diapers, wiping snot
off of my clothes, going to the park, and wiping
what-the-heavens-is-that off of my clothes. There is something
restorative about kissing the boy you love. There are times in Riley’s
arms when I remember who I am before I even realize I have forgotten.
Yes, I am a cook, cleaner, teacher, and wiper of all things disgusting.
But I am also something more, something delightful and completely apart
from my roles. I am a woman! And there is potential and depth and heck, I
am pretty darn good kisser, too. It is a lovely thing, finding yourself
through the touch of someone else.
2. If you want your husband to act like a man, you need to treat him
like a man. Hold the eye rolls. I am not pushing for a return to the
1950′s. (Although, heaven knows an era in which low rise jeans did not
exist is basically alright by me.) Women need any number of criteria met
to feel loved. Men are far simpler. They need to be fed, they need to
be appreciated, and they need to have s*x. That is it. Really. So make
or order dinner once in a while. Say thank you for the long hours spent
at work with a hug and smile when he walks through the door each night.
(Better yet? Smile as you hand him the kids and walk out the door for a
long, much needed break.) And my goodness, let the poor man see you
unclad. It is astounding what a good man will do for a good woman that
has made him feel loved. After a few weeks of meals and make outs, you
will sit back and wonder why you didn’t insist on having s*x every night
sooner. Talk about a small investment and big returns.
3. You need to have a moment in each day that is just about the two
of you. Remember that boy? The one that made your heart thump and hands
sweat? The one that called when you hoped he would, that made you run
hot and high up to the stars until you thought you would never come
down? He is still there. Under the years and bills and worries, that
smiling boy is still in love with and needs his smiling girl. Every
night after the kids go to bed is a chance to find him again. A moment
to remind yourself that you are living a picket fenced adventure and my
goodness, there is nothing the two of you can’t do.
4. s*x relieves stress. I don’t know that this one needs much
explanation. As a mother I eat stress for breakfast. So it seems to me I
have a choice. I can let off steam by A) driving around at night and
bashing in strangers mailboxes or B) I can get down and dirty with that
one guy I married that one time. I choose option B. (So far the
mailboxes in my neighborhood have escaped unscathed, so Option B must be
working.)
5. It is so much blasted fun. Seriously. Why are we so quick to
refuse the good things in life? We will slog through our children’s
Algebra homework, do Zumba in public and pluck the hair from our body
ONE PIECE AT A TIME. But tell a girl to have s*x every night and she
looks at you like you are crazy, An climax? Every night? What do I look
like? A Nymphomaniacal Super Woman?
Where is the logic in that?
Are we really too busy doing dishes to participate in an activity
that is so good it has inspired genius (that saucy Shakespeare) and
changed history (Okay, Helen of Troy, we get it. You were super hot)? My
goodness, what a crazy way to live. Ladies, did it ever occur to you
(to us!) that we should have s*x because WE DESERVE IT?
Yeah, you deserve it.
So, tonight put the kids to bed. Leave the dishes in the sink and the
floors unswept. They will wait. Take a moment to remember that you are
the girl you hoped you would be and then go find that boy and remind him
that he is the man you knew he could be.
