Steak and a blow job night (this isn't unreasonable, right)?

[CocoDeMoll]

Dh reminds me with a cheeky wink that it's that delightfully thought up day of the year .

I explain being heavily pregnant and feeling like a cow there's not a chance! He's now going to buy and cook us steak tonight after not getting the steak side of the day out of his head. So... I'm getting a steak dinner cooked for me and nothing else will be happening . AIBU?

I never thought Valentine's day was for women particularly. So not sure why men would need a day in return. Also why their day would specify a particular food and sexual act, which is not what Valentine's day is afaik.

I agree that the idea of anyone being obliged to participate in a particular sexual act (or sex at all) is disgusting. You do these things when you want to surely?

Chicken and lickin is bizarre to. Why are women supposed to like chicken particularly now?

Horrible, misogynistic invention. Any man who would ask for that is revolting. Thankfully I’m with a truly loving and respectful man who has never asked or expected me to do either of those things.

Is this a Mumsnet sponsored thing? Never heard of it anywhere but here. DH got lasagne and a kiss but he’s none the wiser as he doesn’t read Mumsnet!

How weird that people actually consider this a thing. I can’t imagine anything less appealing than my husband taking this in any way seriously.

It's known as Steak Night in this house 🙅🏻

he’s been a gem all pregnancy and not pressured me at all so I’m going to oblige Really? He’s a gem for not pressuring you? Not pressuring you is normal behaviour, you shouldn’t feel you have to do something to reward him in return. Pressuring you is abusive. If you think you should be rewarding him for not abusing you you need to have a good look at the balance in your relationship.

Lalliella this.

‘Obliging’ to doing sexual stuff with your partner just sounds grim. We have sex when both of us want it. It’s not the 50s, we don’t have to perform our wifely duties any more because he’s been a good boy.

It's just a joke, isn't it? I don't know anyone in the world who actually treats it seriously!

Why is it funny though? When you break it down? I am intrigued. I refer to my early comment about it being depressing as regards sex not being a mutually enjoyable act.

Luckily I don't know anyone in real life who would ever even refer to this. It's a bit...lowest common denominator Facebook trash, isn't it? I'd put good money on a healthy Venn diagram cross over between those who think it's harmless fun and those on the Brexit thread who think nothing is going to change once we leave the EU, but that will probably get decried as snobbery.....

Well. I never heard the like. Seriously?
I would rather go out for a burger

In America, yesterday was Pi Day, as the first numbers of the day was 314.

Steak & a BJ Day?

Who invented that?

In Korea (and maybe some other Asian countries) yesterday was 'White Day' where girls should buy boys presents and shit. Valentines Day is the other way round (I think, I totally forget which way round it is, because I don't celebrate either cos whatever.)

Great marketing! Basically making sure you make twice the money as people feel obligated to go out on each day.

This subject comes up yearly on MN without fail but I'd never heard of it before joining this site. I have never ever heard anyone in RL refer to it either. It doesn't rate mention on FB etc. I've concluded there's a strong wish to keep it going on MN
