How do you get in the mood??

Alright Ladies - admit it.

Sometimes we need a little help getting "in the mood."

Some of us sleep in sweatpants (shame on us! not hot!!). Some of us are so distracted by work and family and busy with LIFE that we forget to want to get busy.

Rosie has admitted that she and Kelli have appointment sex. And comedian Louis CK has a HILARIOUS rant on what happens when his wife realizes that she's going to read about him in the paper if she doesn't help relieve the, uh, tension.

But good lovin' is such an important part of relationships, it can't be good to let the ultimate expression of lurve go by the wayside!

Have you figured out how to get in the mood? Do you recommend 'fakin' it til you make it'? Maybe you start thinking about it in the morning (hmmm..I'm in the shower, I'll shave my legs!). Or you go lingerie shopping. Do you light candles and take a bubble bath? Do you need anything on hand to relax and get into it? Say, birth control or Barry White?

Or better yet - does HE do something to get your engines revving??

ChickChat is working with a new partner, Zestra, a product to help get the party started. But it made me wonder - what do YOU do to get in the mood??

Cheers,
Lara

Phil You've GOT to be kidding me! An otter pelt rug? What a jokester!

It varies with me ... i have faked it, used candles, thought about it all day, and of course it is always sexy when he turns me on as soon as I walk in the door. Yummy. Can't wait to get home. Meow.

We have appointment sex - "Sunday Night Sex" and then a quickie during the week.

Phil, love the otter pelt rug LOL!!!

I read "romance" (ahem, porn) stories online.

my man turns me on.

Posted by robin on April 25 at 09:58pm

just listen to the King of Romance, Engelbert Humperdinck, that will surely get me into the mood!

Anyone else into this appointment sex thing? It sounds like all the rage - I've been hearing about it everywhere!

Posted by LaraChick on April 26 at 08:35am

I've tried the appointment thing, complete with smooth tunes and candles. Didn't get a 2nd shot at it as DH didn't seem excited about it. To be honest, I pretty much just fake it and figure one day maybe I really WILL make it. Hell, it keeps the peace.

I need to add something cuz this has me kinda peeved; I not only tried the candles & music, I bought "101 Nights of Great Sex" plus sexy lingerie, even massage oils. Seems he'd rather watch tv in bed than watch me. So ... when he's out of town, I "fly solo". At least it releaves MY tension. Sure as hell makes me sad though when I think of how much fun and romance we had when we started 5 yrs ago.

Is the question the same for newly mated couples as it is for us folks going on 10-15 yrs with the SOL (same old lover)? We didnt need any tricks in the beginning - now its real exciting if things appear to be heading down the Romance Road unexpectedly...

LOL Phil, what the crap is that site? Soo not porn stories!

Posted by A on August 03 at 04:11am

intresting ideas but for me to get in the mood i need to have a romantic person who really loves me and sets out a romantic dinner and maybe a bubble bath will help!!!!
