Talk Cancer

Question:

Nice story John I guess, but just remember that not all women are that way. Daisy

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Not in tune….  I never have quite figured out why the sexual urges of men & women differ so  much. And I never have figured out the whole Mars & Venus thing. And, I  never have figured out why men think with their head and women with their  heart.  And, I never yet have figured out how the sexual desire gene gets thrown  into a state of turmoil, when it hears the words "I do".  One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don’t feel like it, I  just want you to hold me."  I said, "WHAT??"  So she says the words that I and every husband on the planet dreads.  She  explains that I’m obviously not in tune with her emotional needs as a Woman.  I’m thinking, "What was her first clue?" I finally realize that nothing is  going to happen that night, so I go to bed.  The very next day we went shopping at a big unnamed department store… I  walked around while she tried on three very expensive outfits. She couldn’t  decide which one to take, so I told her to take all three of them.  She then tells me that she wants matching shoes worth $200 each to which I say OK.  And then we go to the Jewellery Dept. where she gets a set of diamond  earrings. Let me tell you …she was so excited.  She must have thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck, but I don’t  think she cared. I think she was testing me when she asked for a tennis  bracelet because she doesn’t even play tennis. I think I threw her for a  loop when I told her that it was OK.  She was almost sexually excited from all of this and you should have seen  her face when she said, "I’m ready to go, let’s go to the cash register."  I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No, honey. I don’t feel  like buying all this stuff now."  You should have seen her face …. it went completely blank.  I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while."  And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "You  obviously are not in tune with my financial needs as a Man."  I figure that I should be having sex again sometime during the spring thaw  of 2005.

Response:

WHOA DUDE! your playing with fire! man,you got some big ones-don’t ya?

Response:

Cute story, but it’s not always the case.  Some of us prefer sex to shopping. Some women have very high sexual urges.

Some women also have jobs, and don’t abdicate all the financial power in the relationship to the man. Get in tune with THAT. -b

Response:

And some women/men "find" they have a high sex drive when the the right person comes along. By the way… that same story was posted here by someone else quite awhile back. JA

Response:

Yeah, not all women, but can someone tell me how to read the bar code that identifies them? Robert M.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – my god, there are some freakin stiffs in here!! "abdicate all the financial power"??  wow, that’s deep!  shit, take a joke guys!  no wonder why this is a divorce group! Yes, it is a divorce group.  Some people here have been very hurt by another person or persons and they are not ready to have that made lightly by a joke, or made into a mockery.  If i recall, your joke was about women withholding sex from her husband and spending his money.  Personally, i don’t find that pleasant or funny to think about.  I am divorced from a relationship where the exact opposite was the case for a very long time.   And others may find bits of truth in that joke, too, that still hit sore spots with them.  Yes, it’s a divorce group.  Now why not go to a a rape support group and post rape jokes? Why not go to an incest support group and post incest jokes?  How about cancer support group, and post jokes about losing hair? Sometimes jokes go over well here, and other times they’re found offensive, and often a mix of both reactions. Yes.  "no wonder this is a divorce group!".  Most of us are here BECAUSE of divorce.  Divorce is ugly, damaging, and not very funny for many of us. People here are at many different stages of healing.  Posting the joke is one thing, but coming back to ridicule people for their reactions TO the joke is pretty low.  Almost "passive-aggressive", i might say.  Maybe that’s why YOU’RE divorced? accept my apology please.

accepted. it’s ok to post whatever you feel like posting, just be prepared to receive some less-than-receptive responses sometimes.
