Intimacy 101

[Warning: this post is not G rated. But it's summer, the Kid is out of school, nerves are strained...so I'm allowed.]

It only takes a few years or months, or days of commingling and canoodling with the opposite sex for it to become incredibly clear that this man-woman stuff involves some emotional juggling of Ringling Brothers proportions.

Women, have you noticed how totally unmatched we are to men when it comes to our needs in the intimacy department?

God, I love You, but you are one twisted mofo. Pardon my French.

I’m not the first to mention this issue, but let’s compare a woman’s needs for intimacy to a man’s needs:

1. Women: talk to me, listen to me, communicate, understand my point of view on everything from children’s shampoo to abortion laws, and then I will feel tingling inside.

Men: uh, you could grab my balls.

2. Women: forget perfume and flowers, do something for me that I truly need and will feel grateful for, like empty the dishwasher and put it all back where it belongs, pick up your inside-out socks, or put away the laundry, then I will start feeling hot.

Men: well, you could always grab my balls…

3. Women: notice when I make an effort to look good, genuinely compliment me and not in a lewd, chee-chee-chee, construction guy way, and make me feel appreciated during the daytime.

Men: did I mention my balls?

Such amazing aggravating adventures in mating! Maybe some day, I’ll join a vodka-of-the-month club figure it all out…

Have you and your mate figured a mutual language?

  1. Ha! Men are so completely different from women in this regard. They don’t get how much the little things mean to us women. Or how the non-sexual gestures can put us in the mood. My man drives me nuts in many ways, but he is very good at complimenting me, doing house work and being a very hands-on dad. Which is why he gets a lot of action. Which may or may not include grabbing his balls.

  2. Aw, Trish, what a sweet love letter to your man. But I’m guessing some balls somewhere are being grabbed… :P

  3. Should my feelings be hurt?

  4. Oh, HUBS! Hello there!! No, don’t feel hurt. Just general commentary on men versus women….

    And if you’re feelings are hurt, I wonder what would make you feel better?

  5. LOL. Seriously. Laughing out loud. And sending it to my husband, of course.

  6. Thanks, Tracey! Glad to know someone can RELATE!!

  7. The key to my marriage is that my husband has mastered the art of PRETENDING TO LISTEN to me. Therefore I feel more inclined to grab… Oh, you know!
