How often?

How often do you dress up and make an effort for your OH? And what form does that take?

For me to feel sexy when dtd I have to do my tan, makeup, hair, nails, shave everything, put on some nice body oil and probably find something semi alluring to wear.

Obviously I have loads of times where it’s spontaneous and none of that happens, but I’m curious about how much time you would spend; if any, for the benefit of pleasing your partner sexually or for just feeling sexy yourself?

My friend and I had this conversation and she said she’s at the stage in her relationship where he gets her whatever way he finds her! warts and all 😉

**And yes we’ve no kids; yet!

Light hearted thread, share your stories!

Together 7 years, married for 2- no kids yet! Most of the time I just make sure I'm showered and shaved but like to make a bit more effort occasionally by doing hair and make up, putting on lingerie and taking a few 'glamorous' pics to send him during the day to get him revving 😉. I did actually collect him from the train station in underwear under a raincoat recently but I'm making an extra special effort as we are Ttc and mandatory sex can suck the fun out of it!

Er, I don’t think I’ve ever bothered with any of that, even when we were first dating. But we’ve been together 10 years and have 2 dc (one a baby) and busy professional lives so we’re lucky to even find the time these days! Frankly, my dh gets annoyed if I want to take time to have a shower first as it means we end up staying up even later and missing out on an extra 15 minutes of sleep. I suspect we’re in a very different place in our relationship though.
