Frisky Fridays

Okay, so my pole was depressing and comforting in the same light. None of us are getting any, and that sucks! So my challenge to you: what are you going to do this weekend to get some skin to skin time with you SO? 

I know some of us are in the two-week-orgasam-free-wait and some of us are post-partum, but that does not mean we can't have intimate time with our partners. Can we make the commitment to at least try to make-out this weekend and see where it leads? 
Same-sex couple- In love with my awesome wife, A, since 2007
Our son M was born 6.2013 

M was conceived via IVF using donor sperm and my wife's eggs. My wife carried. 

Now I am starting my second FET with embryos from A's IVF cycle...this is our last shot.

  • Haha - love it!! Did my wife put you up to this?

    In all seriousness - I think this is great. I would love a massage and I'm sure EV would too. Cheesy as that is I'm going to propose we exchange massages and well see what happens. ;-)
  • We have Defying Gravity on the weekend agenda!


    When I break my face, I am blaming you guys!

    And sorry, I know I should reintroduce myself ... maybe I will do it in GIFs!  Here is one for the weekend though:

  • I'm up to the challenge! I think I'll try to plan a little surprise romance for after LO goes to bed tomorrow. I may even put on my fancy undies that I NEVER wear. :\">

    Honestly, I think part of my challenge is just being so tired all the time. As unromantic as it sounds, planning ahead for "grownup time" helps me out.

  • I wish I could. I'm on my period and for me, that time is a no no. I think the problem with us is that life is just so busy, by the time I get in bed, I have 4-5 hours to sleep and have to get right back up and start my day over. I know it's important and I really wish we could be intimate more. However I do feel like cuddling and holding hands is intimate and I think that's why we get by with limited sex. I am taking the wife out on a date night to our favorite Japanese restaurant and I promised her I would take tomorrow completely off because I work every day. I am holding firm on that promise:)
  • Please explain the two-week-orgasam-free-wait.  I do not remember reading anything about this, nor did my doctor mention this when we spoke to her about our TTC plan.
