Yes, even when I`m tired I usually don`t say anything because what I`ve found is that once things get started I end up enjoying it!

if im not in the mood im not in the mood. same goes for SO. we both agreed that doing something were not into will be worse in the long run. Besides, there`s many ways to `talk me into it`. LOL> or get me in the mood. It just takes a bit of effort is all. =))))

I sometimes don`t feel like it; a lot more often since I had our twins (probably because of body-changes etc) and I do sometimes fake it to please him. I get into it, and then it`s good, but sometimes I do just go along with it because I want the tension eased!!! he needs it aLOT!!! LOl also, what Ella said I agree with completely: `If I didn`t at least have the wax done and feel good about myself, then I wouldn`t feel in the mood, if that makes any sense at all.` -- makes Tons of sense Ella!

I do to please my dh. I have a low sex drive and I can really go without it for months. I wasn`t always like this tho`, just started after giving birth...Could be coz am bfing. So anyways it`s not fair to my hubby. He`s so understanding and patient but there`s just so much that a man can hold back, right? So I give in on those days when he wants it and I don`t. But I still enjoy the foreplay, and am so grateful for that LOL

I never pretend. When I`m not in the mood then don`t even try. My hormone levels are finally starting to level out and I`ve got my sex drive back now so it`s not really an issue much anymore.. My husband was deployed for my entire pregnancy and until my son was 6 months old so it`s probably a good thing he was gone because i had an extremely low sex drive during and after birth.. 9 months after birth to be exact. My son is turning 11 months soon and I finally feel like myself. Only 1 week out of the month is sex off limits.. lol. But to answer your question.. no I don`t `put out` just to be nice and please him. He has a hand!! LOL

I sometimes don`t feel like it but normally have sex anyway just to please my DH. Our relationship is great and everything but I just hardly ever seem to feel in the mood when he does.

I don`t think you should fake sex to make the relationship last. Sex is only a part of the relationship, and while sex can be great, if the relationship isn`t good, the sex doesn`t matter. But if it`s to make u`r hubby happy then go ahead, I do it with DH all the time, it keeps him happy and it makes me feel good because of that. He`s told me several times he doesn`t want to have sex if it`s going to get in the way of our relationship, we`ve ommitted sex before when we needed to work more on the relationship, but most of the time we`re fine working with each other and meeting each other`s needs. But if you really don`t want to don`t feel pressured

Oh gosh, I always pretend to be in the mood lately, just to keep hubby happy. I`m sure once I`m done being so pregnant it will go back to normal!

i dont. sometimes i dont feel in the mood for weeks, but i dont pretend to be, my bf wouldnt like it if he knew i was faking, and if i told him i wasnt in the mood then he wouldnt still want to do anything bc who wants to do something with someone who doesnt want to? he respects me enough to not get mad or be rude to me if i dont want to have sex for a while. my ex used to treat me like crap if i said no, he would call me names, ignore me, just be mean to me in general, and sometimes even start throwing my stuff out into the street and tell me to get out. so after that, i have never and will never be able to have sex when i dont want to

My GF and I had a conversatrion about this year ago ~ I lost my sex drive and this is a struggle for me. She said this is how she approaches those times when she isnt in the mood ~ she feels that making her husband feel good is important and in those times when she feels his interested is justified (meaning he isnt bing a jerk and pushing for it or you know you should want to be in the mood too) that it is good to do it for him. Just as you would want DH to do things to make you feel good too, even if not sex... like a back rub, foot massage etc etc. Thinking of it that way made it sound better and more reasonable. So when I am not in the mood I ask myself if saying no is what I want to do or if I want to make him feel good and do it for him.

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
