To find this alarmingly sexy?

[IvanovaIsAlwaysRight]

I am a 41-year old feminist who's done all the reading about socialisation and gender stereotyping and yadda yadda yadda. DH put a magnetic knife strip up in the kitchen yesterday and was looking all solid and competent whilst wielding a drill and wearing a jumper. I was overcome by a desire to shag him.*

I'm hormonal and it had been a while, so I'm hoping that that was what was behind it, rather than me contemplating a future where I am turned on by the sight of fortysomething men engaged in minor acts of DIY. Saying that, I've asked him to think about putting up some shelves

*Unfortunately we have friends, and they were on their way.

Workboots arghhh

oh lol @Pointless!
I whatsapped dh the other night when I got three** pointless answers in a final as the dog definitely was not impressed and the cat didn't give a bugger.

The message was
Burkina Faso, St Kitts&Nevis, Barking
He was impressed but confused about Barking!

**it was a z-leb Saturday special so that's why I got three pointless answers.

It was capitals, countries or tube stations with a K in.

I have a thing about men typing competently and thinking at the same time [hopeless office job nerd] If they can talk as well, wowza. I like it if they treat the keyboard with a reasonable amount of care and occasionally caress the space bar with their thumbs [wibble]. No wonder I end up with IT contractors/ lawyers/healthcare professionals.

...I have a thing about men typing competently ...
Gulp!
annandale If you look at your keyboard you see 'U' and 'I' together!

I always encourage DP to wear his shirt with his sleeves rolled up. Hadn't quite realised that it's basically the equivalent of him asking me to flash him my boobs on a daily basis

Why don’t those men use a reversing aid??

Dan, how's your thumb/space bar action? I give you fair warning, I'm premenopausally rabid right now and if you type 'autonomous' without looking I will HAVE you.

@Bridechilla I do exactly the same. Show me then forearm. Rarr.

Now that it's nearly warm, I shall start hanging my right arm out of the cab. Should be nicely brown by June.

DisgraceTo dont forget the reversing with your arm behind the passenger seat move!

Moving on from forearm porn, can I give you navel hair porn? It happens when DH is wearing low slung jeans and a t-shirt and has to reach up high for something, revealing a line of navel hair that disappears down and down into somewhere very interesting.

@Dandelion - ooh yes, the happy trail! Sadly DH doesn't have one. But he does have a very nice curve where the front of his hip disappears into his jeans, IYSWIM.

HonkyWonk: don't need to do that, got a rear view camera. Also a rotator cuff injury. Hanging halfway out of the tractor unit window while reversing into a tight bay though...

And watching them proper wet shaving, with a bristle shaving brush and everything. It's basically foreplay.

I finally tracked down new hinges for a cupboard in our kitchen that had been broken for years. I switched them out this morning and DH offered to give me a shag when I complained that he wasn’t appreciative enough. I think actually I would have been perfectly satisfied with an expression of lusty appreciation, rather than tit for tat. So to speak.

…and if you type 'autonomous' without looking …
Ok, yes, right then, you sound like my type of gal, I’m praktising practissing practising now!

Dan, you've spelt my NAME wrong. Not even an ergonomic keyboard is going to rescue that. [sulks]

Arrrrggggghhhhhhh !!
annandale annandale annandale annandale
Sorry, sorry ...
My heart was p p pounding because I was typing to you and this made my hand shake.

Please don't sulk, let me take you in my arms (with sleeves rolled up).

I'm just off to but some Easter Eggs. If I can't email them to you I''ll have to eat them myself!

I'm a lesbian and love a sweaty woman cutting wood with a chain saw

DP wears black polo, black combat pants and black chunky boots for work - need I say more?

Plus, I work in Construction - there's lots of steel fixers and scaffolders on site.

Mine's an engineer & the smell of him (coolant, oil & sweat) when he walks in from work literally makes my mouth water.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned because I have only read the first few posts - but, has anyone mentioned a man - of that age - reversing the car manfully by placing his arm on the passenger seat and reversing?! People seem to love that one! The arm has to possess a rolled up sleeve, and a crisp blue shirt, of course!

(What about using the reversing aid?!)

Zombieeeee

HonkyWonk: don't need to do that, got a rear view camera. Also a rotator cuff injury. Hanging halfway out of the tractor unit window while reversing into a tight bay though...

Ah.

Zombie. Hence the rear view camera absence.Lol
