5 Reasons You Should Have s*x With Your Husband Every Day

1. Being a mother, one of the ultimate expressions of
womanhood, can often leave a girl feeling stri*ped of her
femininity. There is something about being covered in spit up
and attending to the every need of another human being that
makes one feel distinctly gender neutral. Most of my days are
spent playing with dolls, wiping baby food off of my clothes,
changing diapers, wiping snot off of my clothes, going to the
park, and wiping what-the-heavens-is-that off of my clothes.
There is something restorative about kissing the boy you love.
There are times in Riley’s arms when I remember who I am
before I even realize I have forgotten. Yes, I am a cook, cleaner,
teacher, and wiper of all things disgusting. But I am also
something more, something delightful and completely apart from
my roles. I am a woman! And there is potential and depth and
heck, I am pretty darn good kisser, too. It is a lovely thing,
finding yourself through the touch of someone else.
2. If you want your husband to act like a man, you need to treat
him like a man. Hold the eye rolls. I am not pushing for a return
to the 1950′s. (Although, heaven knows an era in which low rise
jeans did not exist is basically alright by me.) Women need any
number of criteria met to feel loved. Men are far simpler. They
need to be fed, they need to be appreciated, and they need to
have s*x. That is it. Really. So make or order dinner once in a
while. Say thank you for the long hours spent at work with a hug
and smile when he walks through the door each night. (Better
yet? Smile as you hand him the kids and walk out the door for a
long, much needed break.) And my goodness, let the poor man
see you unclad. It is astounding what a good man will do for a
good woman that has made him feel loved. After a few weeks of
meals and make outs, you will sit back and wonder why you
didn’t insist on having s*x every night sooner. Talk about a
small investment and big returns.
3. You need to have a moment in each day that is just about the
two of you. Remember that boy? The one that made your heart
thump and hands sweat? The one that called when you hoped he
would, that made you run hot and high up to the stars until you
thought you would never come down? He is still there. Under the
years and bills and worries, that smiling boy is still in love with
and needs his smiling girl. Every night after the kids go to bed is
a chance to find him again. A moment to remind yourself that
you are living a picket fenced adventure and my goodness, there
is nothing the two of you can’t do.
4. s*x relieves stress. I don’t know that this one needs much
explanation. As a mother I eat stress for breakfast. So it seems
to me I have a choice. I can let off steam by A) driving around at
night and bashing in strangers mailboxes or B) I can get down
and dirty with that one guy I married that one time. I choose
option B. (So far the mailboxes in my neighborhood have
escaped unscathed, so Option B must be working.)
5. It is so much blasted fun. Seriously. Why are we so quick to
refuse the good things in life? We will slog through our
children’s Algebra homework, do Zumba in public and pluck the
hair from our body ONE PIECE AT A TIME. But tell a girl to have
s*x every night and she looks at you like you are crazy, An
climax? Every night? What do I look like? A Nymphomaniacal
Super Woman?
Where is the logic in that?
Are we really too busy doing dishes to participate in an activity
that is so good it has inspired genius (that saucy Shakespeare)
and changed history (Okay, Helen of Troy, we get it. You were
super hot)? My goodness, what a crazy way to live. Ladies, did it
ever occur to you (to us!) that we should have s*x because WE
DESERVE IT?
Yeah, you deserve it.
So, tonight put the kids to bed. Leave the dishes in the sink and
the floors unswept. They will wait. Take a moment to remember
that you are the girl you hoped you would be and then go find
that boy and remind him that he is the man you knew he could
be.
