Funny. Just today a buddy and I were just discussing his wife and her displeasure with everything he seems to want to do. She wants to know why he "always" feels the need to go out and buy new things. It seems she had a friend over the other night who was lecturing my brother's wife on how sex is just for conception and once you are through having kids it should no longer be needed in a relationship.
He asked me what I thought he should do about that and I told him to tell her the truth. Men take up hobbies to take their minds off from sex. Nearly everything I do, while fun, would be tossed to the side in a heartbeat for a roll in the sack.
Now, for married guys who are faithful (as I am), that last "rule" is not always true. When the sex becomes routine then other endeavors seem to take precedence. That is why I believe wives hold out on their husbands... to keep them wanting it.
Gotta end it... the wife just walked in the door...
