2nd Trimester

Kind of odd question.. embarassing actually..

ok.. so I am just gonna go and put this out there and ask a complete bunch of strangers for some suggestions...

I am horrible, I mean horrible at making advances as my DH for some lovin time.. horrible.. I am best at just mentioning that I'd like some time for us.. and that doesn't get us anywhere cause he would love for me to put in some initiative.. so ladies- give me your best ideas! Please! I am a pretty modest girl, but would love to change this..

thanks in advance! Please don't flame!!!!

Re: Kind of odd question.. embarassing actually..

  • You must be doing something right, as you have one child already and another on the way!  Wink

    But seriously, I cannot be of help, as I think it is a personal matter between you and your husband and, what works for one may not work for another.

  • I'm pretty open so I usually just come right out and say it.  Otherwise I find that if I kiss my husband (anything other than a quick kiss on the lips) he is instantly ready to go.

  • text some dirty notes to each other throughout the day....then tell him he's going down tonight.  I'm not really modest when it comes to my husband, I just tell him what I want and I'm pretty straight forward with him.  I just usually push whatever he's doing aside (literally) and jump on it/him.

  • My DH requested that a few years ago.  I learned quickly that a big random sensual kiss can be plenty for a man.  The best part was it didn't take much and I didn't feel embarrassed or awkward.

    I know, it's just that I am clueless in this department and after 8 years together I am obviously not getting bold enough to do anything that I think would work- thats the only reason I am looking for ideas.. you are totally right though, I know it's something that both my husband and I have to comfortable with- again just looking for some thoughts and suggestions.. thanks though :-) I know he's not thrilled with having to put in the effort all the time to get things rolling. :-)

    We must be married to the same man.

    Cup your boobs in and put them in his face, asking him if he can tell if they're getting bigger or not.

    ha ha , i love it!

  • We have a "sex bucket list" each month we add two to the list and once a month we take turns choosing. We go as fat as folding up little pieces of paper and drawin them randomly from our bucket.

    This made me chuckle. Why don't you ask him coyly if he'll join you in the shower? That's one of our favorite places to "get the steam rolling."

    sorry this is good too!  I just know that my DH seems good to go at any time!  I was out yesterday getting some new bras (ones that'll actually fit) and found a little "sexy nightie" and got it.  I think that will work.  I usually will just call him to the bedroom, wait for him to the shower (half the work is done!) or come down to the kitchen wearing it under a housecoat... he'll peak!

  • Every relationship is so totally different but I find the more sex texts through out the day the less we actually end up doing it. Don't know why. When i really want it and dont want to come out and say it I will put on a cute nightie and go sit on the couch. He just can't resist. We look at porn together. Love it.

    LMFAO!!!!!  I have so done this one before.  It does work!

  • Some good stand-by's that I use is either just getting into bed w/ nothing on & snuggling a lot or I'll take his shirt off when he's lying next to me & start kissing his chest and stomach,  and keep on moving down south to get him ready to go :)

    Hope this helps!

  • I know where you are coming from. My husband is always the first one to initiate things. But when I am in the mood and it doesn't look like he's gonna be making any moves, or I just want to surprise him, I cuddle up to him real close in bed and give him endless kisses until he gets the hint. 

    I have also been known to just walk into the bedroom wearing my panties and bra (sexy ones) and walk around the room acting like I am looking for something. He usually takes full advantage of this. Don't be shy around your hubby! What's the worse he will do? Laugh? I'd laugh right along with him. You are a strong, confident woman. Now, go get your man!

     We play "nudie or not nudie.' I will strip down or not (depending on the day) and get completely covered. Then he has to guess. Part of the fun is to sometimes be not nudie. It's a good laugh for us.

  • Um, I just walk into the room naked and get into bed. It works quite well Wink

  • I hopped up on a kitchen counter the other night, waited for him to come in from the garage, and when he questioned wth I was doing, I coyly said "appreciating the convenient height of this surface!" 


  • I like the cup your boobs advice. Honestly I dont know I never have to initiate. I can just take off my shirt and he is ready to go. Especially lately with them so large. If I am not in the mood I act like I have to use the bathroom and take my change of clothes in there or just change when he isnt around. Sad but sometimes I just don't want to LOL

  • I told DH once:  If I brushed my teeth AND shaved my legs before bed... chances are HIGHLY likely I'll put out.

  • I am not shy at all and will just climb onto my husband's lap and reach for his belt if we're alone, so I may not be your best source of info. That said, you could ask him to help you lotion your body before bed. Rubbing your thighs and breasts could very well get him excited, and your little thank you kiss could turn into a lot more.

  • I'm definitely shy about that kind of stuff, but the thing that I do most of the time is either come over and start giving him kisses until he gets the hint or I take a shower and walk around in my towel. He likes "unwrapping" me.

  • If you are comfortable laying on your stomach, try this....   ask your husband for a massage. Buy some yummy massage oil and candles and set the scene. Then strip down and lie on the bed with your bottom goods covered with a towel. The rhythmic touch is sensual and will relax you, while starting out with the towel covering you is not overtly sexual. Plus the closer he gets to the towel and the more bits that get exposed the more heightened the anticipation gets. This should be the perfect opener for him, but if he needs a little more of a push (i.e.he is  playing the gentlemen) you can encourage him to delve under the towel (butt massages are so awesome). Or just roll sunny side up and say that he needs to massage the front too, because the girls just get I sooo sore :)
