We don't write it. If we type a swear word it gets converted to kitten.
wow...cool1 -
It's pretty odd, but I don't really have a plethora of pictures of my hubs and I -- only ones where we're outside with shades on. So, here's a car photo...I'll delete this later, as well.

Hahah yes! They're very real. I especially liked that dress because it made the girls look like anomalies of gravity.3 -

My nephew was sitting near the person taking the picture and held up his action figure. He's missing a hand because of that tick-colored PITA laying on the couch.0 -

I can help if you are on a PC. I think the process is different if on a phone app. On a PC, simply go to the bottom of the page as you would to post in a forum and click on the icon that looks like a page with a dog-eared corner. Once you do that, you may either browse your files and select a pic to attach or drag-and-drop the pic you have chosen. Now you know....2 -
I'm still reeling at the sex every day comments by @Guns_N_Buns ! My wife thought I was complaining too much about not getting it so together we decided we should track it to see how often we fool around. Since Valentine's Day (when we started tracking it, we have had sex 10 times with one 31 day gap in there for no reason other than her just not feeling like it, too tired, etc. And, honestly, I think my wife could be a model! I would make love to her at the drop of a hat! (or other clothing).
And the picture is of us and our now 3 year old last August at Packers Family Fun Night. We also have a 6 month old boy now!

Ladies, do you feel your husbands are enamored with you? Is he so in love with you that no matter what happens in life or what you do, you are never wrong? So in love with you that as long as he can look at you while the sky is falling he's ok with death? Is there a such thing?0
-
Beautiful family, @heroldkelly! I suppose couples just have different 'norms' and that's perfectly fine. My norm just happens to be lots of it. I think our longest gap was maybe 4 days. If it were to stop I would definitely question what has happened or what is wrong in the relationship; just like if your norm is more infrequently, you'd probably think something was off/wrong if all of a sudden she's raping you in your sleep.

Oh, but I am a Vikings fan, so I cannot like your picture. haha0

Beautiful family, @heroldkelly
novio50 : its called blind love, if you have it for your other half then yes it is possible...but i think to some extend we are selfish about ourself in our lives.....this kinda love your talking about is like romeo and juliet, lol
that kida love will consist of a lot more of personality and will be near perfection...perfection again is different to everyones need

I would do anything for her to do that to me!

As much as I'm not in the mood most times, I just remind myself that it's just 5 minutes of my time that will make my hubby happy/satisfied. I've been on the other end where I was continually deprived/rejected from having sex and it's not a very good feeling, so I try to catch myself when I start to complain or say no because, to some extent, I'm sure it affects men the same way.1

Yeah, we've had very long talks about it and part of the difference when we first married was our complete difference in experience. I was way more experienced than I should have been and she had absolutely none. We knew that would be harder (no pun intended), but I'm a patient man and she learns things well, so we thought it would get better. Well, we now have been married 5 years and have two kids, so time is nonexistent, and it's worse than ever. Our next step, if things don't improve soon, is counseling. I think the important part is to realize everyone is so very different and what @Guns_N_Buns can handle is much different than what my wife can handle. I wouldn't expect my wife to be a daily woman, heck I don't think I could handle it! But finding that common ground in how much each has to compromise is difficult for any couple, but through patience and communication it can be done. 2

@Cutaway_Collar ha! quiet sex is the worst. This is why children change sex lives. Love your wedding photo. Super fun. And not TMI for me. This is quite interesting. I don't think it's ever taken me 45 minutes to orgasm. I'll have to start watching the clock. 8-12 in one session! Lucky wife.
@Guns_N_Buns I am not willing to have a quickie every day because the stimulation leaves me wide awake and then I can't sleep. So while he's snoring away right after, I'm lying there for an hour or more when I need to be sleeping. If our morning schedules ever become compatible, maybe I'd be willing to have sex almost (key word) daily.
@heroldkelly you have a beautiful family. It's good that you are talking about it. A six-month-old baby explains a lot. I don't think your frequency is abnormal for having a young baby. It is hard to go from being entirely responsible for this little person's every need to getting into sexy mode. But you can help too. Take care of the kids and do the dishes while she has a long bath or goes for a walk. Make her a nice dinner (and do the dishes - don't underestimate the power of doing the dishes). Take the kids to a family member's for a night. Surprise her with wine and chocolate. Watch a funny movie after the kids go to bed (stay away from anything rom-com - these are mood killers in my opinion; more like Will Ferrell - stupid comedy is best or action/spy movies if she likes those; nothing sexual if she's already feeling pressure or about kids). She likely needs time to relax and remember she's a woman, not just a mom for a bit. It can be tough to transition.1 -

Ha. Loved this. True.0 -
hahah @Cutaway_Collar, Not TMI...I say 5 minutes, because like I said, usually it's him wanting it -- so it's like get in, get out so I can go to bed! If it's a time where we both want it, then yeah...I've gone 12-20 times in one session, but once I hit the first peak, the rest are easy to achieve. So, it's still only 30 minutes maybe...I can't imagine 45-60 minutes!

Also, why can you 'tag' a username, but there are no notifications that alert you to the tagging?!0

I don't know. I think the notifications thing sucks. I can't get it to email me when someone comments and I wanted that!

These few sentences speak volumes in my opinion. It is easy for us guys to be "ready" anytime because our minds compartmentalize and process things much differently than a women's.
And I think we men need to be careful to not lump all women together just as we do not want women to lump all men or our needs/behaviors together. There are so many things in society (including online forums) which can influence our expectations toward our partner and then when they do not act the way we believe they should we tend to think something is wrong.
Relationships are the most complex (and valuable) things in life and like anything of value they are worth our best efforts to understand and nourish.5
