How many faithful men/women do you know? EXACTLY. Marriage is hard. It's not sex in the kitchen and high-heels and stockings 24/7. Any of us who have been married 10 years or longer know that. It's kids, mortgages, work and passing out as soon as your head hits the pillow. Many people need a reward at the end of a long work week/family time. They want some ME time. You want to know that you are still that same desirable person, that you still got IT. Everyone needs to know they are appreciated and loved and WANTED. You can love your kids and your dog...You want your partner...You daydream about them. You love the sound of their voice. You fit together like a lock and key. How do you keep that feeling through all the years? Most men have a secret porn stash that helps relieve stress and boredom. Women are different. Porn doesn't work all the way. We want an emotional attachment. When we step out, it's for the real deal. Sex, feelings the whole package has to be there or most of us won't take the risk. I read that people are craving sex more now that our economy is/has tanked. I believe it. We are all creatures of the flesh. We like things that feel good. Sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, shopping..something to make us feel better than a pile of bills on the kitchen table. They say violence increases in the hot, summer days. I bet wild, steamy stress-relieving sex is going to increase this summer as the thermometer rises with the poverty.
Wives will have their once a week "book club" night. Men are going to have to pick up a few "extra" shifts at work, late at night. Whatever it takes to make life a little bit easier during the daily grind of just being..Peace!
I am good with our arrangements of 30 years in the making. She says what it is & I say Okay or yes dear. *shrug* We already have the highest infant mortality rate in the nation so we really don't need anymore teens doing the free recreation thing anymore.
