Not reviewing your 330 posts, just making an observation as to what you've written.

I guess the question really as why you started this thread? Was it to tell us how o make "LOVE" to our womenfolk or explain how in tune you are to women in general???

You are fine RDJ. You have good things to share. Just that your verbiage is not very flattering to men

For some women sex can become just another one of the many chores that have to be completed in order to keep the household happy. In some cases, a woman may find it much simpler to just quickly take care of her and avoid the time and effort of sex completely, especially if she has a husband that is only concerned about pleasing himself.

It is my opinion that when it comes to sex, a lot of husbands are selfish. They focus too much on how their wife is going to please them, and not about the quality of the shared experience.

To men, or just ones with over inflated egos, I wonder?

I already have the owner's manual, thanks. The warranty expired a long time ago and the manufacturer stopped making parts or servicing the cars. I was told I'd have make all new parts from scratch and install them myself and possibly even build the tools to make the parts as well. And when all is said and done, even with a frame-off restoration, tear down and rebuild I was told reliability was very poor, could only be driven for very short periods of time very slowly under laboratory conditions and would require something on the order of 3 hrs in the shop for every hour drive time. Operator fatality during normal operations was a non zero probability event. And I had to do it all blindfolded with an angle grinder screaming in my ears.

I'm going to answer for my hubby.

We make love and that's what we call it. It's full of passion and it's wonderful. We take the time to snuggle up afterwards for 20-30 minutes.

Maybe it's time to consider trading the old jalopy in for a newer model?

With all due respect, if you desire to exchange observations, it’s my observation that this statement from a “masculine” man would infer that he may be more insecure than he wish's to admit? (is that a feminine trait?)

I think there are a lot of men and women both who are selfish lovers.

Since you put this in the Men's Clubhouse, I am assuming you are telling men to take heed - and ensure they are not being overly selfish. But they haven't cornered the market on selfishness.

And I think this is true for women as well. As a wife, it has taken me quite a bit of time to learn that the more open and giving I am to HIM, the better it is for the both of us.

As for whether it is having sex or making love - it varies for us depending on a lot of things. Sometimes it can be fast and furious, sometimes slow and sensual and everything in between. And sometimes, just sometimes - it is actually energizing to your love life to be a wee bit selfish and 'push' a bit for something that you really desire. At least it has been for me.

My concerns about you is that you have posted a number of times (don't ask me for examples), trying to come across as anti-male and accusing men of being the problem when sex is not good. You like to post pretty obvious points as to how to be a good partner thinking most men are too obtuse to know better.

Yep it took a while of reading your posts to actually know you are a male, because you always take (or post) a female point of view.

This thread is a classic example.... How girly is Do you have sex or make love...... C'mon!!!!!!

RDJ doesn't need my help.

His posts provide as much insight on this board as anyone's.

He's acutely aware of the fundamental differences between men and women and his posts speak to this in a manner that makes complete sense.

Ignore him and/or dismiss him at your peril.

First sex can become routine, then it can become boring, and then it can stop altogether. You suddenly find yourself in a “sexless marriage”.

Exactly what research have you done to tell you that men are selfish lovers?

Is this not a two way street, or are women the gatekeepers of sex and only on their terms?

How about just having sex and enjoying it instead of it being a big production????

So the next time you find yourself having selfish sex with your wife, STOP. Stop thinking about what you want to get out of this,how she is going to repay you, and think instead about what you can give her.
Who (and it's only males in your book) exactly is having this selfish sex?

We use to have just sex (dreaded sex on my part for 19 years). Things have changed dramatically and now it is making love.
