poll: "i never thought it would happen to me!"

[silverwhisper]

i was reflecting on something i blogged last night--the mrs and i were staying at a hotel for 2 nights while visiting family rather than staying in either house.

anyway, i don't know about you but i always find hotel beds to be an aphrodisiac. i'm not sure what that says about me, but that's neither here nor there.

b/c of the time of year and how hectic things were, neither of us was awake/energetic enough to have sex either night. when i was younger, i remember once solemnly swearing to myself that this was something i would never let happen to me and i'd rather forgotten about that but now, a few times in the past year, i realize i've actually made the conscious decision "OK, i'm too tired, no sex for me tonight". not the "i'm really drunk and therefore i'm almost certainly gonna fall asleep in the middle" kinda tired: i mean, so tired that as much as the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak.

has that happened to you too? and if so, how old were you the first time it happened?

There're a couple of threads in the Playground waiting for you! Welcome to the beginning of getting older.

Yes it has happened to me. The first time was about 4 years ago. At the time I thought it was because of the flight to the Poconos. I was flying from the midwest and he from northern Canada. We climbed into bed and went to sleep........and it felt soooo good!

There's a perfect cure for this. It's called sleep. Sleep well, wake up, have a shower and go back to bed. Yep.
