Too Tired for Sex?


A hard working woman has to deal with all kinds of tiring, strenuous activity throughout the day. From waking up and cooking breakfast for her male counterpart; usually giving up extra amounts of sleep each day. Next, depending on whether she's a school student, or executive woman dealing with the stress and headaches that accompanies these two professions; from bosses to professors. After that coming home and still being responsible for her fiduciary responsibilities like washing the dishes, doing laundry and preparing an excellent, exquisite cuisine. When it's all over and its all done off goes the television along with the lights and what comes next has to be on the minds of at least 85% of all men. SEX, and the question surfaces is there such a thing as being Too Tired For Sex?

From a males perspective I would say the answer is no. Forget Anniverseries, birthdays and some holidays the one thing a guy knows and never loses track of is, the last time he had sex. We can tolerate a woman being tired and lazy on most of her other activities and responsibilities, but this one in particular has to be fulfilled. I'm not stating that when a man demands it he should receive it automatically every time, but a claim of being too tired does not signify a plausible enough reason for such a prudish temperament in the bedroom. I know what women are asking themselves. "What if I'm just not in the mood?" I understand that state of mind, every once in awhile guys are not in the mood as well, but sex serves as more than just an aphrodisiac. Sex strengthens the intimacy of relationships as well as relieves stress, releases tension and ultimately improves the overall health of ones codependent connection with their partner. The absence of sex for a guy is almost the same as a woman's time of the month. We start going through withdrawls, becoming irritable, even losing sleep because our bodies physically and emotionally can not function without it. Right up there with communication, the key to a healthy relationship is a healthy sex life.

How soon is too soon/How long is to long to say ...I LOVE YoU?

Take for instance your friend, or co worker that met a person literally New Years Eve, continued to talk to this person and started using the three letter phrase in place of their daily vernacular by early summer. You are happy for them, but in the back of your mind do you ever ask the question...Does this person know what love is? In contrast, take for instance the couple that has been together for five years, live together with no kids, but the guy is afraid to say I Love You. Which brings me to my question... How soon is too soon/How long is to long to say ...I LOVE YoU?

Keep in mind that there are three types of love: the adolescent love that consumes your thoughts and actions, the sexual passionate love that is primarily focused around sex, and the after all the glitz and glamour have departed what stands after that love. My guess is if you are at the adolescent stage of love, it might be too soon to tell another person you love them, but if you have been with a person for five years for the most part all of the glitz and glamour has been seen already, and you are past the previous two stages of love, so what would prohibit this person from saying I love You. I know what you are asking yourself...What if the other person initiates the phrase before you, what do you say, how do you respond? The only thing you can do is to remain cool, calm and collected and express your feelings to the best of your abilities.

Food for Thought...You can pressure a person into saying I Love You and risk the chance of that person saying it and not really meaning it, scaring the other person off because they are not quite ready for love and all the strings associated with it, or waiting for the other person to say I Love You (which may take longer than anticipated). I normally use the one year rule. If you have been with a person for a year, or longer and they have seen your daily actions, episodes, routines and occurrences, and in knowing that they accept you for you, then, the three letter words might possibly be OK to say, (or whisper) but not before then.
