To withdraw sex in favour of romance??

I told DP that there would be no more sex in this house until there is more romance and seduction. We used to go out for meals, long walks together and spend time just kissing and cuddling. Now the only kisses are pecks when one of us is going out or a quick snog pre-sex . As for long walks, there is usually football on!!!!!! how much football can one person watch??

Is it just us or does everyones relationship get this stale?? Please tell me my DP isn't the only one.

As for the sex ban, I'll probably give in as I'm not sure how long I can go without!! What can I say... No will power

I would suggest playing the board game Monogamy- it's sexy and fun, but with loads of chatty questions which can help you talk about romance and nice things you could do together. You'll get to bring the topic up in a way which is totally non-confrontational, plus you will both have several nights of sexy fun: win-win IMVHO!

Thanks, just looked it up on Amazon. Sounds like it could be much fun. What a great idea for valentines day..... in the process of ordering it. Lets hope there is no football on that night

I used to have the same problem in my relationship My dp watches a LOT of sport (football rugby tennis darts golf) there's always something on so now when he's watching tv that i dont really want to i get a good book lie next to him with my head on his lap n just read while nudging him with my head so he gets the hint to play with my hair Our kisses also went from snogs to pecks but its a bit harder to act like teenagers snogging all the time now cos of 3dc running round i wouldnt and didnt hold out on sex altogether but held back until i got at least half hour of kisses n cudding before i let him get some

Next time he pulls away from your pre-sex snog just say dont stop yet i really enjoyed that its been ages since we had a proper make out session god that sounded like i was a teenager but it works in this house if that dont work just grab him n give him one its not like he'll push you away Good Luck

WJB - Thank goodness its not just mine!

As for Monogamy... it wont be in stock for 2 - 4 weeks so all my thoughts of valentines night fun are slowly being shattered. Gonna try some more websites cos the more I read about it the more I think it can inject a bit of fun and seduction. OOOOhh looking forward to saturday already (assuming I can get it somewhere else)

Good luck- I hope you can find it, still going strong in this house on a Saturday night a couple of years after purchase

Nothing wrong with wanting your partner to pay you more attention, listen to you and make time for you (rather than just cleaning his teeth extra well and then sticking his hand up your nightie) but be careful this doesn't translate in his mind as 'every time I turn up with a bunch of petrol station flowers I will get a blowjob'.

Try ann summers they do some good board games and valentines gifts here's a link to their games they have the monogamy game here

I hope you're talking about the board game young lady !

BitOfFun · 09/02/2009 23:13

Like the nightie image SolidGold...hope I didn't make you throw up suggesting the Monogamy game though (although it's not the evil capitalist construct version)

solidgoldbullet4myvalentine · 09/02/2009 23:13

I think actually some of the suggestions for naughty board games are not bad, but above all make time to have fun with each other.
(It's just that a lot of stuff that's allegedly romantic is so contrived and mechanical that even if you can persuade a partner to bring home chocolates every Friday and nice flowers once a month, you would still end up feeling let down if he thought that was all you needed).

BitOfFun · 09/02/2009 23:15

ROFL sorrento!

Jenice · 09/02/2009 23:15

Defo talking about the board game but now reflecting on my post... oops... could so be taken out of context
