My wife has a case of the flu, nothing serious. I, on the other hand, have a serious problem with it:
I don’t mind taking of her, and I feel bad that she feels unwell but… she lays there, all hot and flushed and pale, glowing with heat, looking at me with big waiflike eyes, and all sniffly with red nose…
And it turns me on.
There’s something about a woman with a cold that’s really sexy.
Of course, I know that if I were to cuddle and be intimate I’d be paying for it in a few days with a bad cold of my own. Also, not so much a cad that I would seek to inflict my attentions on an unhappy ailing lady.
Nevertheless, I must be wired funny, because I find it really incredibly sexy.
Just had to get that off my chest.

When she gets better, maybe you can coax her to hold her face over a sink of steamy water for a few minutes, then dab some rouge on her nose and go lie down in bed and moan. The steam will make her nose run too!

I know what it is. It’s The Bed [sup]TM[/sup].
Anytime a lady is in The Bed [sup]TM[/sup], the man automatically springs to attention.
A word to the wise: just because a lady has taken to The Bed [sup]TM[/sup] doesn’t mean she’s in a romantic mood.
Go ahead, don’t heed my warning. Just don’t come crying to me when you get a face full of phlegm. Or worse. 😃

It’s sexual “flush,” not sexual _fluish_.

Yes, I believe **Scylla** has had one too many fight with blimps.
I’m kind of wierd too though. When ever I come down with the flu or cold I get horny as hell. Of course GF wont touch me with a ten foot pole,…
So goes life I guess.

Well both me and my BF get horny as hell when we r sick and usually we get sick together since we spend so much time together and we tend to have more sex than usual during our sick days…and it actually relaxes us and I think we heal faster to be honest! 😉

Ya think _that’s_ weird? I suffer from post-coital blocked nose. Every time. I dont fucking understand it, and its always been a source of mirth to whoever Ive been with. Every _time_. The moment the heartbeats start to decelerate and we’re catching our breath, the honking starts.
Intelligent design, my ass.

(Sung to the tune of _My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean:_)
My Bonnie has tuberculosis.
My Bonnie has only one lung.
My Bonnie can cough up raw oysters,
And roll 'em around on her tongue.

When I saw a thread titled Sick Ladies started by Scylla, my first thought was, “Oh boy, Scylla is going to a story about women with kinky sexual behaviors.” 😃
Then I read it and thought, “Oh, it really is about his sick wife and him taking care of her, neat.” 🆒
Then I got to the end and it was, “Oh, it is Scylla with the kinky sexual behaviors about sick women.” :eek:
All in the time it took to read the first post. That is some good writing. 🙂

Damn it! I was eating a cracker with cream cheese spread on it when I read that! Now I have to clean my desk. 😛
