Well, we just spent the nicest hour out by the pool with CW. BUt we still haven't eaten. A sad story about sexy underwear and I guess husband and wife relationships. I was at a little league baseball party a few years ago. The dads were out by the grill, the team in the pool drowning each other, and the moms in the kitchen drinking wine and confiding deep dark secrets. Somehow we got on the topic of sex (gee, surprise!!!!!) and someone brought up lingerie and naughty underwear. I of course told my Frederick's throw up story, and another mom, who was absolutely adorable and a Greek belly dancer, told how for her husband's birthday she met him at the door with three gift bows in strategic places. THen one mother said, "I bought some sexy lingerie from Victoria's Secret to surprise my husband. When he came into the bedroom, he looked at me and said, 'Take that off, you look ridiculous.' WE all just looked at her in horror. What an absolutely humiliating thing for him to say. She probably never had another orgasm. This was years ago and it still haunts me. What kind of man would say that? Do men realize how much courage it takes to cast off the mantle of maternity, the perception of oneself as a middle-aged hausfrau, and try to be seductive in the bedroom to please your man? I think most men are grateful for the effort, I know Dan is, but this guy should have been castrated. Really. |
