I can’t take it any more!! Mr. Maureen was getting ready for our weekly night out, tripped in the shower, and fell on his bum. Bruising his sciatic nerve. TWO WEEKS AGO !!!
Since that time, it has been no sex, enforced by our doctor, for Maureen. Mr. Maureen’s frustration level is not a problem…my mouth works fine, thanks. But the toys just AIN’T HELPING!! Nor does exercise, nor does cooking, nor does reading…and I have another week or so to go.
To make matters worse, there is a VERY cute IT guy in the office on occasion (contracted) who happens to be funny and intelligent and flirting. I would never follow up on that, I love my man, but DAMN, it certainly adds to the frustration level.
I’m reminded of the episode of “Malcolm in the Middle” in which Hal and Lois aren’t allowed to have sex for a week or two, because of Lois’ pregnancy (I think… actually, I forget why). They devote their energies to cleaning the house, doing taxes (back taxes), taking care of the boys, and everything else they don’t otherwise do. By the end of the week, Hal’s up for a raise, the house is clean and some improvements have been made to it, and they’re owed a few hundred from back taxes that were miscalculated.
When they finally do get back to having sex again, the house falls apart and things go back to “normal.” Yeah, my wife and I are like that too.
Keep a stiff (sorry) upper lip, Maureen… just a week left to go! You can make it! Well… you can’t, but at the end of the week you can.
I should repost this over in the Admit it thread, but I honestly had no idea that women experienced the same level of sexual frustration that men go through when denied that wondeful act.
I last saw irishfella on May 6. I’m seeing him again on July 5.
We’re a twice daily couple.
I’m going nuts.
6 weeks is about the limit before I start being unable to concentrate on ANYTHING else.
I’m doing a rotation in Urology next week, so that should help a little…nothing like looking at incontinent, elderly penises to put you off!
…which reminds me of the Seinfeld episode “The Abstinence”, in which George can’t have sex with his girlfriend for 6 weeks because she has mono, and the pent-up sexual energy ends up making him smarter (IIRC, he learns Portuguese, gives batting advice to the Yankees, and figures out the odds against him scoring with the waitress at the diner).
So, Maureen, been getting any ideas about a better mousetrap or a cure for cancer?
You know, there are Dopers who haven’t had sex in years. Somehow, people do survive, horrible though it may be to have to go without for two whole weeks.
Giraffe; no, his tongue is fine, but as wound as I am right now, I’d worry about hurting the poor man’s neck. Then I’d really be in trouble.
Mastema; I have an extremely high sex drive for a woman. Plus, I’m at my plateau age (women don’t peak…they hit a level and even out).
UES Guy; HAH!! I love that episode. No cancer cure yet, but my in-box sure is empty, and I’ve taken care of that paperwork backlog.
Shirley; As a matter of fact, we’re coming up on our 10th anniversary. Second marriage for both, and we are NOT kids (he’s 42, I’m 36). It’s reeeely reeeellllyy gooood sex.
I think I’ve always had the misconception, possibly because up until I turned 17 and grew some sort of physique, they certainly never had a sex drive in my direction. Since then it has mostly been experiences with my wife and her girl friends. Case in point, while watching “40 Days and 40 Nights” with her and several others, they kept asking things like “It never really gets THAT bad does it?”
