    I once read about a study, which genuinely found the sex drive of women lowered, if they need to care for their partner like a small child.
    Their theory was that the relationship transitions from romantic love to maternal love, and mothers just don’t tend to find their children sexy…

      Makes sense both ways, really. What normal healthy person wants to wait hand and foot on thier SO 24/7.
      That’s not a relationship.

      It’s notable that the opposite isn’t true, men’s libido doesn’t diminish while they lift heavy objects, service a mortgage or repair their spouses car. Women continue to seek sexual tension, far more than the act itself. The typical evolution of romantic relationships is one of gradual decline of libido for the husband and precipitous decline for the wife after she’s popped out the first born.

      The cracks in Judeo-Christian edifice are appearing in the form of rejection of gender norms and marriage is becoming less popular. It wouldn’t be a complete surprise that we are witnessing the dawn of the sex robot. When the technology exists there surely is also a market for babies in a can and a revolution in women’s liberation not seen since the contraceptive pill.

    My wife and I had our clean laundry just in baskets for about a year, because we were both not in the best mental space after having our home destroyed by a flood in 2019. I got ahold of a marijuana edible, (I was about 40 amd had never touched the stuff) and I folded and put away all the laundry. I then washed, dried, and folded the laundry that was dirty. Then I cleaned the kitchen. When my wife got home and saw what had been done, I was forcibly removed from my pants.

    And it only took like 30 minutes to fold and put up the laundry. It takes the washer 15 minutes to run, and the dryer takes an hour so… I was basically playing Satisfactory while high as balls amd folding the clothes that came out of the dryer which took five minutes once an hour. On my Saturdays I can get stoned, play video games, and clean the house. Playing games while high all day is reward enough, but my wife gives me even more.

        I haven’t timed it exactly, I just known it takes a lot less than the ~hour that the dryer takes. Washer is an ancient whirlpool direct-drive top loader with a mechanical timer.

    Don’t make me wash the floor and I’ll wash all the dishes you could possibly want, babe.

      Honestly doing dishes is relaxing. It’s got a similar feeling as clearing lines in Tetris. Turning a mess into nice clean bare surfaces, ready for the next day

      It’s like the lines that the lawn mower leaves on the grass, but they’re left on the carpet by the vacuum cleaner. You should try getting laid more.

      Well, an automotive engine creates a vacuum in it’s intake. We can use this vacuum to operate accessories like cruise control, door locks, or headlight shutters. We use rubber lines to pipe this vacuum around to the various accessories and sensors. With time these rubber lines start to degrade, crack, and leak, causing said accessories not to work and poor engine performance. An easy test is to rub your fingers along them, if it comes off on your skin, the lines need to be replaced. Reason the ladies get moist over fresh vacuum lines is because no one is getting laid if your hooptie won’t idle when you get to the make out spot.

    Ah yes, bare minimum and occasional contribution as a transactional tool to get sex, how enlightened.

    (hint: if you actually contributed your fair share, there would be nothing unusual, and therefore deserving of a “reward”, about you doing the dishes or vacuuming the carpets. Nor would sex be treated as a “reward” you “deserve” in the first place in a healthy relationship, that’s so manipulative)

      You consistently and persistently post in this meme community, taking them very seriously. Don’t you think it would be better to consider blocking this community for yourself?

      Given that most memes offend you to the extent that you write at least two paragraphs, it might still be the best course of action for you.

        You ever think they are a troll, and you are just feeding them. In fact i love the negative posts gets people talking, gets more views, and gets more people. I think gerold off south park explained the best.

      True, but I didn’t take this meme to be saying those things, although some people in the comments invariably will have taken it that way.

      It’s more like being an active and enthusiastic participant in your shared domestic life is a general turn on. Not for me though, I’m ace. But it does make me feel good about my relationship.
