Cod claims they do

I can't believe it

That would be akin to being a prozzer

Oh I see! Is there a similar contraption for handling the contents of said pants when administering the blow job? Blow job tongs?

policywonk · 24/04/2008 20:30

I'm just killing this thread out of compassion for IB

tori32 · 24/04/2008 20:48

I'm in the notjustmom camp on this

Swedes · 24/04/2008 21:11

Iorek - Administering the BJ? You surely mean enduring or suffering the BJ? Anyway, tongs are not a bad idea. I use Slazenger Wicket Keeping gloves (with gel technology) - think Edward Scissorhands. I endure fully gloved whilst DP practises his swing at silly mid off. We normally have a result by tea time unless bad light stops play.

some people don't like giving bjs so in order to get their dp to treat them to something might say if you treat me to a pair of shoes il treat you to a bj. seems reasonable to me if its your partner.

oregonianabroad · 24/04/2008 21:20

I can't believe I missed this thread while I was bored at work today.

Haven't laughed this much in ages.

nappyaddict · 24/04/2008 21:20

i think its reasonable to discuss it with your dp whether you can afford something/really need it before blowing a whole load of money on stuff.

where both people work some couples don't have joint accounts. so if a woman decided she didn't want to buy her own shoes but quite fancied her dp treating her as a way of compromise she might offer a bj.

According to my SIL one of her friends got a family holiday out of her DH by promising him sex every night they were away...[boggle smiley]

However, my SIL and her friends are weird - they just seem to sit around moaning that their DHs are always 'pestering' them for sex, and how awful the whole nasty icky business is, and they've given them the children, fgs, why can't they just leave them be???

Weirdness, I tells ya!

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 24/04/2008 22:17

Why would it make you shudder that a woman might have to ask a man for money? I really can't understand that and am genuinely puzzled.

Me and dh have seperate bank a/cs, (to be honest I would shudder more at the thought of a joint one), seeing as he earns more than me if I need a large sum of money for a non-run of the mill expenditure then yes I do have to "ask him" for money.

Thats becasue he's not a mind reader so if I don't say "can you put £500 in my a/c" he wouldn't know I needed it. Its not like I'm begging him for it and its not like he's going to say no or that he's doing me a favour.

BalletMum · 24/04/2008 22:29

My dh has just seen this thread and pointed out the fact that I have indeed just bought two new pairs of shoes!!!!!

nametaken · 24/04/2008 22:36

I must be the bj queen coz I got a 5 night stay in the Burj al Arab, Dubai for the bj I gave my dh.

I'd have given him one anyway so why not

As a woman, I would hate not to have my own money and of course I wouldn't want to HAVE to perform sexual favours just to get the money to buy something I need or want. I agree with the whole feminist thing but I think it is ok if it is part of friendly jokey banter leading up to sex that you both want.

The idea of the Anthea-Turner lookalike and the ring for a ring is puke-making. That woman is a whore and her husband is a sleaze. BUT I do think there might be a lot of men who would secretly approve of some form of this kind of bartering. Isn't this one of the reasons why men go to prostitutes - to be able to get what they want by paying for it rather than by having to be all lovey-dovey romantic and nice? To know that the money exchanged means it is a certainty rather than a possibility? To imagine that they are in control and can have the kind of sex they want when they want it. Not all men (and of course no-one we know! ) but I bet those who see their wives as kind of cooking-cleaning-sex-machines and would not be too unhappy to have the deal made more explicit.

The old concept of conjugal rights, the idea of marriage as a way to free on-the-tap sex for men, doesn't exist any more and some men must regret this. Probably the ones who are on the internet arranging Thai brides but also perhaps others who are sometimes just pretending to be pc and 'sensitive'.

I wouldn't want to be with that sort of man, and I find the idea of barterning a bit abhorrent, but I do think that some men get a kick out of their wives/girlfriends behaving like sluts/whores sometimes. What was it Jerry Hall said?

Janni · 24/04/2008 22:39

I find a well-timed BJ can buy you a lie-in and breakfast in bed.

scottishmummy · 24/04/2008 22:39

?My mother said it was simple to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I'd hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit? Jerry hall quote

madamez · 24/04/2008 22:41

Why is anyone bothered about what other people do? If you don't want to do it, don't do it, but if other people find it either a) an amusing game between partners or b) a method of negotiation that is, after all, only traditional (the trad bargain being that the man provides the cash and the woman provides all the domestic work and sex as well) - then it's not your problem.

DevilwearsPrada · 24/04/2008 22:42

I promised DH a BJ if he tried to fix the dryer. Tis a bit of fun lol lighten up.

IorekByrnison · 24/04/2008 22:42

Swedes your cricketing tales have rendered me quite weak with hilarity.

mum2sons · 24/04/2008 22:58

Coming into this late.DH and I have a standing joke that if I clean the kitchen, I am owed extra special foreplay (I am not a domestic goddess, so cleaning the kitchen is a rare occurance) at not cleaning kitchen rather than my sexual demands

onebatmother · 24/04/2008 23:07

Oh Swedes... no ball-tampering for you then my dearest?

Hello Madamez... "if other people find it either a) an amusing game between partners or b) a method of negotiation that is, after all, only traditional (the trad bargain being that the man provides the cash and the woman provides all the domestic work and sex as well) - then it's not your problem.

Hmm. And hmm again. Is nothing anyone else's problem ever, as long as it's consensual in a very literal sense?

DrNortherner · 24/04/2008 23:10

Everyone is off giving BJ's

IorekByrnison · 24/04/2008 23:10

Onebat!! Hello, I was just thinking of you and how much you would have enjoyed Swedes' glorious sporting analogies if you weren't out doing real life things. I'm so pleased.

onebatmother · 24/04/2008 23:14

Swedes limbers up for her biannual ordeal.

onebatmother · 24/04/2008 23:16

I have enjoyed them enormously. Took me bloody ages to find you all. Gosh, the rest of it really is like making small-talk at a.. Oh my god there are naked people having actual sex on teh tv RIGHT NOW

onebatmother · 24/04/2008 23:18

AAAggh, there's a camera in her fanny and he's ejaculating!!!!!!!!

colacubes · 24/04/2008 23:19

I dont think that this topic deserves such long winded discussion, if ya wanna blow then blow, if not dont!

Seriously dp/dh are not just our lovers but our friends and we take the mick and make silly offers all the time.

Skyat, I know the lady in question was uncouth to say the least and probably lacking in social etiquette, but a whore is a rather strong word to use to describe any woman imo, bit forceful for me, I was expecting a pulpit to rise and a baptism of fire, for the whore monger!!
