7. It is uncomfortable at first, for sure.

I think mostly because we aren't used to having those kinds of conversations.

I have learned if you suck it up and just have them (even though it feels weird and hard), it gets easier to talk about over time.

And it sure beats getting awakened over and over at 3:00 a.m. if you are one of those people who really, really just loves to sleep through the night and have "sexy time" during normal waking hours. (Ask me how I know, hahahaha.) (Never mind, don't.

I think I speak for all men when I say we would probably be happier if women picked up a bit more of the slack in the "making the moves" category.


I hear ya. I do not envy men and the traditional role where they are expected to ask first. It seems to me like most men probably have to make a lot of "moves" to get a "yes," and hearing "no" over and over could be really hard on a person's self-esteem.
