Basically, in the end, she's doing it for you to take care of you. That's not what sex is supposed to be. So on occasion, that is, but not when it becomes. I just want to make sure he doesn't get upset.

And, you know, then the next day he's in a bad mood because he's that whole thing. It's nice for you to say to him, I like the reaction that you have. Maybe sometimes you take care of him.

There's a lot of possibilities if you don't fall into the trap of on or off and afraid to do the slightest move because, my God, if he then reacts, then I'm going to have to service. That's under the subtext from this dynamic that you described.

And then on occasion, when you just call him and you, whatever it is, you take a bath together, shower together, something where he experiences your invitation. But the pressure is what you want to watch. Because you're a high energy guy and you release a lot sexually and there's nothing wrong with it. But you also have three other boys in this house.

And so, yes, it's very different from 10 years ago. And it may come back after the boys are older as well. This is, you know, so how do you... give yourself the permission to say, mom, time is off.

You enjoy being together.
