Can you ask your husbands/boyfriends a question for me?

And settle a discussion with me and DP.

Ignore feminist principals for a minute

“If you had to choose between coming home from work to an immaculate house, dinner cooked for you, washed and ironed clothes and a lovely pair of smiley happy kids but NO sex ever again OR you can come home to a messy house, DIY dinner, a pile of dirty clothes and you have to sort the kids out but you get the ride of your life every single night for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Dh would choose 1. I'd choose 2. It's always been that way unfortunately.

But I'm not going to try and force him to have sex, it's less cruel to force him to do all of the chores while he's furloughed!

ZiggZagg · 29/05/2020 22:03

DH said the first one and he will go for a wank 🤣🤣

BarbedBloom · 29/05/2020 22:05

He said he would have the sex

Justmuddlingalong · 29/05/2020 22:06

I had a menopausal/hormonal blip a couple of years ago. I wanted sex all the time. It lasted about 4 months. DP said in future he would be careful what he wished for.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 29/05/2020 22:07

Dh says he'd take option 1. Apparently dealing with the kids and no dinner is a deal breaker. We clearly aren't matched because I'd pick the opposite.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 29/05/2020 22:07

Mine says 2 unless he has a headache.

MsMeNz · 29/05/2020 22:08

He would say 2 but I'd say 1.

justasking111 · 29/05/2020 22:09

Mine says 1 he would find someone else for the sex Grin

MorrisZapp · 29/05/2020 22:10

I couldn't enjoy sex or any other sensual pleasure ie eating etc in a dirty house. DP same.

TimeWastingButFun · 29/05/2020 22:11

Second one for us both, thanks 😄

SimonJT · 29/05/2020 22:13

He went for option two, he also pointed out that he does most the laundry, the cleaning and my son isn’t his so not his to feed, bathe etc.

FlamedToACrisp · 29/05/2020 22:20

My DH said he'd choose the housework and happy kids.

I said he could always choose the sex and pay someone to do the housework, and he said he could pay someone for the sex for that matter!!

DH is now in the doghouse! Grin

Grin ha ha lightweight!
Crystal87 · 29/05/2020 22:23

He said the ride of his life obviously.

Samtsirch · 29/05/2020 22:24

Apparently he’d choose the latter.....but still moan about the lack of the former 😏

Samtsirch · 29/05/2020 22:25

Flamed
I think it will be very overcrowded in the dog house after this thread 😂

Lilybea1995 · 29/05/2020 22:27

I’d go for number 1 (though it would be a tough call), DP would go for number 2 without doubt

SmileyT · 29/05/2020 22:27

My DP said no sex and I don't get to do anything that is a double blow, so definitely be the latter for him. He loves cooking, cleaning and sex...lucky me 🥰🥰🥰

Sn0tnose · 29/05/2020 22:28

DH says he really doesn’t care if the house is tidy, he doesn’t mind cooking and he can wash his own clothes, but could we knock the amazing sex down to every other night because he’s not a machine.

loubieloo4 · 29/05/2020 22:29

1 for both of us

MistressGammon · 29/05/2020 22:29

  1. He doesn’t care about the house.

I’m a messy bugger and not attracted to women so would definitely prefer to have the first type of wife please. Grin

LilyMarshall · 29/05/2020 22:31

Dh said 2. I dont believe him as he has such a poor sex drive and he is sick of making dinner every night.

AnneLovesGilbert · 29/05/2020 22:33

Both say 2.

SarahAndQuack · 29/05/2020 22:48

DP would go for number 2, because getting to cook dinner is a good thing. I'd like to think the possibility of sex would play into it, but frankly, we have a sleepless toddler, so I'm fairly sure it's the cooking that would swing it.

NumbsMet · 29/05/2020 22:48

Before I ask him, I can imagine without being put on the spot and forced to choose, a high number of men will believe they should have both.

I will now ask him, but I think he's going to go for option 2 Grin
