We’ve been trying to have a kid, and the sex isn’t always magical at these times when biology calls us to perform. After a particularly hard day at work, and neither of us in the mood at all, I’m doing my manly duty in a desultory and uninspired manner. My wife isn’t particularly enthralled with the prospect either. Nevertheless, trooper that she is she starts moaning and moving in a fairly convincing manner in the hopes that this will bring the excitement level up high enough for me to move things to their customary conclusion. It starts to work, and so she continues even louder and with more hyperbole. “Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Oh Yeah!” I respond with renewed ardor and thing proceed apace as she exclaims various encouragements with newfound enthusiasm. And then… "Oh Yeah! Yeah! That’s right! OHHHHHH! You **BIG! BAD UUUHHHHHH!** wolf?" “Wolf?” I say. “Don’t stop!” “But you just called me a big bad wolf.” “And you **ARE** ” she says, “A Big…Bad… Wolf!” and she punctuates each word with a little motion. Ok. That works for me, I think, and try to get back into my work. Big bad wolf? Where did that come from? Is she wondering what great big eyes I have? What great big teeth? More importantly, does this make her Little Red Riding Hood? * * * Feel free to share your moments, but let’s keep it fairly clean for the kiddies, ok? ---

You are aware, I assume, of the common Freudian sexual reading of the Big Bad Wolf/Little Red Riding Hood story? OK, neither am I, specifically, but I know there is one. It has something to do with the wolf’s elongated snout being phallic. Sorry I can’t be more specific about this, but my professor talked about it in French class–in French, I should add–and I really didn’t understand much of what she was saying. Also it was about 10 years ago. Anyhoo, might be worth checking up on for some reason. And by the way, I wasn’t repulsed by the OP, though I did burst out laughing at the first appearance of “wolf?” ---

You know, unless it was a timing thing “Honey, my temperature is slightly elevated!!!”, there’s no need to do it when you don’t want to. Otoh, thanks for the laugh, you wolf you. ---

OK, I’ll bite. Some years back, we were enjoying a child-free evening at home. I lit candles and dimmed lights, and my sweetie put together a stack of CDs in the changer and set it to the Random mode. He decided that rather than risk an inappropriate song that might be distracting, he’d just use all classical music. I thought it was a good idea. Until the 1812 Overture came on. We got terminal giggles. Mood broken. Candles out. TV on. Ah, romance… ---

I hope you didn’t proceed through contraceptives made of straw, sticks, and then bricks before realizing “Eh, we might as well just try to have a kid.” ---
