Loving is better than drugs

[frualeydis]

Sex makes me so happy. Okay, that should be obvious maybe, but still, I don't know if everybody feels so intensely happy the day after having sex. I'm just so happy and grateful that he loves me, that I love him, that he wants to have sex with me and that it's so good. It's like a constant buzzing happy feeling that makes me smile all the time and generally feel so GOOD.
Even if my body hurts lots and I couldn't sleep until after two because I was hurting so much in my shoulders, arms and hips that I couldn't lie down but had to get up and sit and read for half an hour. And that's even after taking paracetamol and ibuprofen, which I take very seldom since it goes over to the milk and they don't know the effect. Usually it has a good effect on the inflammatory activity though, so sometimes I have to. But tonight it didn't help at all.
It hurts lots today too, but I'm still filled with this warm, fuzzy happiness.

Yay for you!

Can't say it does much for me at all.

That doesn't sound fun.
It is a "recreational activity" I've always been very interested in, so I can't imagine what it would be like not feeling like this.

Tom too. Poor lad is stuck with me and my lack of interest in it

I can sympathize with him. I've experienced that.
As a woman the gender stereotypes also makes you feel like there's something wrong with you, like "isn't he suppose do be more interested than me?" Although you know they are just stereotypes they are so deep ingrained in our culture you can't help being affected by them.
For now Rickard and I are as much (or little, we have a child that wakes us several tiems in the night) interested, but usually it's me. But now I know that he loves me anyway, even when he doesn't want to have sex, which I think wasn't sure about before (before the last three years or so).

Too true. That's exactly what it feels like. Besides, saying that your husband isn't that interested in sex in the worst way of violation his masculinity, but if he says the same about his girlfriend, it's not reckoned to be quite as mean.

"I'll have what she's having"

Reindeer steak, presumably.

I've had caribou...didn't do much in that department. :P

I agree with you Eva...whenever my partner and I start getting too cranky with each other its usually a symptom of not enough nookie!

So what's that about "some of us are easily embarrased"?

;)

By details. It's so stupid, but it's the main reason why I could never write romantic fiction (which is a "career" I have been contemplating). I can't write descriptions of sex and some of the more graphic descriptions makes me blush when I read them.
I actaully think it is partly because I'm very affected by words, so it becomes sort of private and too personal. It's hard to explain.

Interestingly, I've found that men tend to write much more explicit descriptions of sex scenes than women do. Less easily embarrassed? Need more details to fuel the imagination? Whatever the reason, it seems to be an overall trend.

I haven't read the overtly erotic kind of women's books, though, just novels that don't have sex as part of the main theme.
