Hi from Aus! Tasmania, no less!

Just after advice/ opinions.

Myself and my husband have been together for 24 years. Lately, in a bit of a sex drought, for us anyway. My husband is a marine engineer and is away for two weeks, home for two weeks. When he's home, obviously, we have sex about two or three times a week. This leave, he's had a bit of a grumble that he'd like it more, and I'm not as responsive to his signals as he'd like. Although it was still 5 lovely times in the fortnight. Is that less than usual for a couple like us? Should I initiate a bit more- not good at that, involves confidence I don't have! How can I without feeling stupid?

This is, I might add, on the background of a very loving marriage. We just seem to be missing each others cues lately a bit! Tips please!

While on our hols I asked DH if he wanted to meet me at a restaurant and order drinks while I just had a last look at some beach dresses.

No, I think I'll go and have a look at the sex shop upstairs he said.

Bless him! He's in his sixties and I think the sun had gone to his head.

Lol!

Later I asked if he'd bought anything. No he said, we have better at home!

Must be that secret chest he keeps in the garage!
