DH has just come downstairs from his bath and is now draped across the sofa in just a pink towel wrapped around his bottom half in what I think he thinks is a sexually alluring pose?

It's not sexy, sweetie. It's a pink towel and you're draped across the sofa like Peter Stringfellow. This is not making me want to have sex with you.

AIBU?

Methinks you need to rid him of that towel! Pronto! ;)

OrmRenewed · 07/04/2010 23:25

Yuck no. Why do so many men think that a glimpse of enthused tackle is going to make a woman wild with desire?

paisleyleaf · 07/04/2010 23:26

....and the OP's gone

My DP hangs towels off his after a shower to laugh me into bed. Works better than posing on the couch (although I get away with that one).

TheLadyEvenstar · 07/04/2010 23:30

BoF so does my DP!!!!

KAEKAE · 07/04/2010 23:30

I think he is being U for not wearing a Peter Stringfellow thong with that pink towel.

ElleBing · 07/04/2010 23:31

You misunderstand me, ladies.

The tackle is not "enthused". It looks quite fed up tbh. Dh seems to suddenly have a very 1980s Jilly Cooperish idea of what I might find sexy.

Perhaps a picture of Javier Bardem topless pinned to the fridge will help him out.

Fed up tackle even less thrilling. I am shocked at him! Tsk

shockers · 07/04/2010 23:52

Surely a 1980's towel would have been peach... or trimmed in M&S 'Edwardian Lady' chintz

ElleBing · 07/04/2010 23:55

It's not the towel that's 80s so much, more the pose and the scantily-cladness of DH.

I seem to remember accidentally seeing a lot of that soft-porn that was on C4 in the 80s and all of the men attracted women by reclining on chaise-longues and stuff.

Completely unreasonable.

Wrapped in a pink towel, with a possible flash of a shriveled pair of prunes is the best we can do once the shackles of marriage & kids have kicked in.

KAEKAE · 08/04/2010 09:06

Oh no that link is just too much.. he has such old looking feet. And that tan...yikes

honeybunmum · 08/04/2010 09:22

Eeuuuugggghhhh... (at your link)
Is he trying to sexually arouse you or is he just 'very comfortable' in your presence?
If he's attempting to excite you... you may need to give him some tips!

WitchyWooWoo · 08/04/2010 13:24

my dh hangs his towel as well. and poses and swings it about!!!!

we are all sooo tortured by utter non sexiness aren't we

Mouseface · 08/04/2010 13:29

Ellebing Stringfellow made me barf my lunch back. Complete slimeball. Wrong on SO many levels.

wastwinsetandpearls · 08/04/2010 13:33

I am gutted I thought it was just my dp who balanced the towel off his knob.

I wish my dp was lounging all soaped up and semi naked on the couch.

wukter · 08/04/2010 13:36

He should whip off the towel and smack you on the bum with it.
That'd get any lady swooning.

BelleDameSansMerci · 08/04/2010 13:44

?! wukter LOL

wukter · 08/04/2010 13:57

What can I say? I have a very Benny Hill sex life

Tikkabillajive · 08/04/2010 14:00

pmsl at the mental image of the OP sitting opposite her DH as he does his best alluring pose, while she just ignores him and types scornfully on her laptop!

BelleDameSansMerci · 08/04/2010 17:43

And now, wukter, I have that tune in my head. Thank you.

JennyPiccolo · 08/04/2010 20:38

my bf wanted that tune for first dance at our wedding.

shockers · 10/04/2010 08:35

Did he want to chase you round the dance floor, gurning and making squeezing motions with his hands... with your dress hitched up so your garter was visible?

I've got a great mental image of a Benny Hill wedding
