My wife, who has told me before that although she tries not to show it, claims she is really flattered and encouraged when I make a big deal about her appearing nude before me. Yet she seems to have no interest in basking in my mesmerized stare of awe.
I want to be desired, admired, appreciated for my physical appearance. It seems like she should couldn't care less about being the focus of such passion.
I'm very sensitive to not being wanted, and I've told her so. I told her I'm more perceptive than she might think when it comes to that.
Recently, my tentative indications of interest in making love were met with her asking to defer to our regular weekly session.
Okay, fine. As long as she will allow me my privacy, I will tend to my health myself.
But then the appointed date came, and she deferred again to the next day.
A look at the world from a sometimes sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, decidedly American male perspective. Lately, this blog has been mostly about gender issues, dating, marriage, divorce, sex, and parenting via analyzing talk radio, advice columns, news stories, religion, and pop culture in general. I often challenge common platitudes, arguments. and subcultural elements perpetuated by fellow Evangelicals, social conservatives. Read at your own risk.
