Most
husbands wish their wives would initiate lovemaking more.
It can be deeply meaningful and moving to a man. It makes
him feel loved. Women
usually take longer than men to get in the mood for intimacy, but don’t always wait for the feeling. Occasionally, start when you only slightly feel like it but you sense your husband would appreciate it. Your feelings will most likely catch up, but this time do it because you love your husband rather than because you love sex. And I’m sure you can think of more exciting ways of initiating intimacy than simply saying something like, “Let’s go to bed.” You might suddenly join him when he is showering, you might start whispering in his ear such things as “I crave your body,” you might . . . Well, I’ll leave that to you.

Blow away the cobwebs
of predictability. Have fun.
Let loose. Act a little crazy.
The greatest thing you
can do for your husband and your marriage is to heavily involve God in it. High
on the list of other helpful things you can do is to delight in your own sexual
pleasure.
That will keep you longing for
more, and your genuine excitement about sex is one of the greatest possible
turn-ons for your husband.
Many of the things
that thrill a man, however, do not usually appeal to women. So unless they had ulterior motives, selfish women wouldn’t
do them. Whereas average people find many things demeaning – such a kneeling
and kissing one’s partner’s feet – genuine lovers are so lost in their
partner’s pleasure that even the concept that anything could be demeaning is
incomprehensible. It is doing things solely for the other person’s enjoyment
that turns sex into lovemaking, rather than self-centered pleasure-seeking.
As you have no doubt
observed, the visual side of sex means a lot to a man. For many a man, it means almost as much as both romance and
foreplay mean to a woman. Out of ignorance, some men have sex with their wives
without foreplay. I think you know that is no way to treat a woman. In the same
way that some men don’t realize that foreplay should be a part of loving their
wives, many women don’t understand the role of the visual in loving their
husbands. Have you seen the way peacocks initiate the mating process by
displaying their gorgeous tail feathers and vibrating them in a spectacular
fashion? God created them to do that for their mate. I know many women find it
embarrassing, but they, too, should seek to put on a visual display for their
husbands in the intimacy of marriage.
Do you dress to please your husband
or just yourself? The great tragedy is that the average wife seems to dress up
for strangers and not for her husband. It should be the other way around. They
should, at least occasionally, look far more beautiful and sensuous when alone
with their husbands, than when they are dressed for a most important public
event.
Do you really know what your husband
likes, or do you merely think you know? Is your husband not interested in what
you wear simply because he thinks you are dressing for your own ego and not for
him?
For most forms of
women’s clothing, it usually works out that the more impractical and
uncomfortable the garment, the sexier it is (wouldn’t ya know it!). But that’s okay. You only have to
slip it on a few moments before your husband sees it. One look at you in that
uncomfortable gear and – bless his heart! – he’ll be so moved with compassion
that he’ll beg you to take it off. He’ll probably even stick around to
supervise – just to make sure you don’t hurt yourself, of course. And on the
other hand, if it’s particularly comfortable, you might get to keep it on for
weeks.
Since, at least in these things,
most men like variety, it might be preferable to choose several less expensive
items than one that will last until he is in a nursing home. Both black and red
are usually exciting colors for a man. There are other possibilities but avoid
skin tones and brown.
I realize you need to be comfortable
when you sleep, but when it comes to nightwear, including slippers and a
bathrobe, there are some monstrosities that could remind your husband of a
three year old, or his mother, or grandmother, or a bag lady. There are equally
practical alternatives that won’t turn him off his food. Since your husband is
about the only person who will ever see you in this clothing, and he’ll see you
in it quite a lot, it’s particularly important to buy these items for him more
than for yourself. Don’t buy anything in this line that you can’t return, and
press him for an honest opinion, after assuring him that you are specifically
dressing for him and that you don’t just want something he can tolerate but
what he really likes. He probably has little idea of what is available in
women’s bathrobes, so if you can drag him along when you choose a bathrobe, do
so. Suggest he stroke it to consider touch as well as appearance. A paper bag
over his head might reduce his embarrassment as he walks into the shop.
The male need for visual variety
As briefly explained above, variety
is important to a man. But don’t despair: you can go a long way towards
breaking a man’s tendency to get bored looking at one body. To revive your husband’s interest in your body, let your
mind run wild in dreaming up ways to make your body a continual surprise package.
Wrap-up
Seek the Creator for creative ways
of expressing marital love that will satisfy a normal man’s craving for variety
– a craving dangerously inflamed by living in decadent western society. As you
do this, our Lord will no doubt give you ideas that will soar far above the
suggestions offered in this webpage and the many in the link (The Spice of Life). Gently persist with new
things even if your husband’s first reaction is not encouraging. It could open
up a whole new dimension to him, bonding the two of you closer than ever.
For those
who are feeling up to it here are a few ideas
Please pray before proceeding. This
is a semi-private webpage. It is so wild that I have qualms even about placing
it on the web. It is deliberately designed not to be easily accessible. I urge
you to seek the Lord as to whether it would be best for you not to
read it. Please take this warning seriously, and proceed only after praying and
ascertaining that you have the Lord’s permission.
Variety, they say, is the spice of
life. The enemy of our souls spreads the lie that the variety we crave should
be met by having a variety of partners. What is really needed, however, is the
variety that comes when love moves you to overcome inhibitions and creatively
find as many ways as possible to add fun and surprises to your special times
with your partner.
Almost universally, women dress up
and spend more time on their appearance when strangers will see them than when
they will only be seen by the one person in their lives that a wife should want
to sexually attract. Practicing the following affirms by action that your
husband really is more important to you than strangers. What woman wants to be
seen in public wearing the same clothes all the time? Women seek variety in
what they show the world, how much more should they do this for their husbands.
The goal of the suggestions is to
shatter your man’s presumption that your body offers nothing new to see. The
aim is not necessarily to look sexier, but to keep your husband wondering;
causing him to take a new interest in your body. Always try to save the more
extreme options for later surprises and aim to spread over months, preferably
years, the implementation of new ideas, with all sorts of variations. Many
times do nothing to touch up your body, but try to be totally unpredictable as
to when those times will be. Keep him guessing. Keep your body a fun-filled
surprise.
Initially he’ll most likely be
shocked, maybe even think it’s stupid, but he’ll never forget it. He’ll always
remember that you put in the effort to do something special and memorable just
for him. Above everything it is the fact that these things are an expression of
your love that will make them so precious to him. Explain to him that this is
your motivation.
You will probably find some ideas
are only worth trying once, but you’ll have the rest of your lives to look back
and laugh. You’ve been daring within the exclusive confines of holy matrimony.
Never again can your husband take you for granted. You’ve thrown off the
suffocating cloak of predictability and become someone exciting who is fun to
be with.
Get excited about your surprises. A
smile and a twinkle in your eye, and especially love in your eyes, are unbeatable
ways of beautifying yourself. Remember the following are mere suggestions. Some
won’t work for you. You and your husband are the sole experts about what gives
you pleasure. But don’t give up quickly. Gently persist. You will be doing some
mad-cap, unforgettable things together; sharing a laugh and a secret that only
the two of you will ever know. It’s the sort
of thing that bonds people.
You’ll need to be gentle with your
body and perhaps test some things for a day on a tiny patch of your skin to
ensure you won’t have an allergic reaction.
A few ideas
The elimination of the need for
garters or garter belt was a great leap forward for comfort, but when it comes
to seeing a woman undress . . . Put it this way: after the
invention of pantyhose, it’s a wonder they even bothered to invent the Pill.
Incidentally, I recall an article in a old women’s magazine (the magazine was
old, not the women it was intended for!) suggesting that if you are wearing
old-fashioned stockings – the type that doesn’t turn a man’s stomach – and you
are deliberately undressing to please your man, the most exciting way to remove
these stockings is to roll them off. Sounds good advice to me. I think your
only hope of enticingly removing pantyhose involves a pair of scissors.
Hire from a costume shop a sexy
outfit. Maybe even hire a wig to give yourself an entirely new look. Even the
clothes you wear in public have potential. Try wearing just a top as a
mini-dress. Use plunging necklines that in public you would wear something
underneath. Pull up a half slip and wear it as a dress. Even if you’re already
well endowed, maybe you could have fun with a super wonderbra or something to
make you look enormous and show plenty of cleavage.
Use lipstick on your nipples (maybe
elsewhere). On different occasions, use different shades. After a few months,
when he thinks all possibilities have been exhausted, hit him with flavored
lipstick.
Wrap a little tinsel around you.
Another time use your imagination as to how you can deck yourself with a few
flowers. One possibility would be to use a ribbon into which you poke holes to
receive short-stemmed flowers. On another occasion dress yourself in nothing
but a scarf or two. Another time oil your body to make it glisten. Try sticking
glitter on yourself. At times try subtle things he could miss if not paying
attention, such as a tiny gold star stuck on your behind.
Buy lotion that gives an artificial
suntan. On different occasions, go for different shades of brown. Sometimes
make yourself look at if you’ve been sun-baking in a bikini. Another time go to
the other extreme and find something (talcum powder?) to whiten your body.
Write something cheeky or romantic
on your body, such as writing on your breasts, “Hubby’s toys.” Try a pretend
tattoo.
On a warm day, tell your husband to
wait outside the door for a couple of minutes. Lay down, put something like
whipped cream over your breasts, each topped with a strawberry. Then call him
in.
Over months, put your pubic hair
through many color changes. Try curling it. Sometimes aim to beautify it, after
many weeks go for the occasional startling thing, such as bright pink or
streaks. Ideally, use hair treatments that will only last a day or so, to avoid
embarrassment if you have a medical appointment or some such thing. Again,
don’t do this so often that it becomes mundane; the aim is to take him by
surprise.
Give him a strip show. There are a
million possibilities that would delight him. For example, dress with lots of
layers of clothes and underwear with each lower layer being briefer and hidden,
and each time you expose a bit more flesh do something wild to him. If you can,
introduce some music and movement (especially moving the hips and breasts.)
Don’t forget that high heels are very sexy. If you don’t usually wear them,
that’s not only sensible for your feet but modest as well. Can you, however,
find some way of coming up with some just for a few moments for your husband?
Would a friend let you borrow some, for instance?
Many a woman has discovered that her
attempts at stripping for her husband only seem to make him laugh. That’s fine!
Laughter is an expression of happiness. It means you’re having intimate fun
together.
Draw or stick a little heart shape,
or some such thing, on a private part of your body. Then without wearing any
underwear put on a short dress or skirt and top that is very revealing when you
bend over Tell your husband what you’ve done, but don’t necessarily tell him
what it looks like and certainly don’t tell him where it is. Explain you’ll
give him a special sexual treat (name it) if and only if he sees the shape.
Then tease him. Perhaps go about your normal housework or put on a special show
for him, doing all sorts of dances and movements in front of him. If he catches
a glimpse of the sticker, he gets the promised sex thrill. If he doesn’t, he
has to forfeit it and give you the thrill of your choice. Don’t feel sorry for
him and give it to him anyhow. If he begins to realize you will always let him
win, it will reduce some of his excitement. The more that’s at stake, the more
exciting it will be. Even if he loses, he still wins because his sexual tension
has built up. Keep him longing to see your special parts. You don’t want him
getting bored with seeing you. Try to keep your naked body as something
exciting for him. Don’t normally let him see you naked, for instance, when he’s
not stirred up.
Silent sex?
When making love, don’t spoil the
moment by talking about inappropriate things – he’s probably not in the mood
for discussing the eating habits of the Nambian cockroach – but minimize
deathly silence. Fill your lovemaking with sweet nothings. Giggles, sighs and
groans of pleasure are the sweetest music to a man. Verbalize your appreciation
of your husband’s qualities, and physical attributes. It’s often acknowledged
how much women need to be told they look good, are loved, and the like. Men are
usually too embarrassed to admit they need it too. Perhaps try some new pet
names for your man – and not necessarily romantic names, they could be erotic names
or ones like Tiger. Ensure they are names that appeal to him rather than you.
The last thing you want is to consistently use a name that turns his stomach.
Maybe even invent pet names for parts of his body.
Games
Aim to awaken the
dormant erotic potential of every fraction of your husband’s body. It can take months for parts of a person’s body to come
alive sexually, but each different part of the body provides new sensations
when sexually awakened. Don’t give up after just a few tries. If something is pleasurable
for other people there is a very strong probability that your husband is wired
the same way and that it simply needs to be strengthened through practice. For
instance, Jim felt an unpleasant tickling sensation in the roof of his mouth
whenever his nipples were stroked. Nevertheless, he persevered for several
sessions. He learnt to focus on the pleasant sensation so completely that the
feeling in the roof of the mouth totally disappeared, never to return again.
Now, he reports, whenever his nipples are caressed, it is one of the most
beautiful feelings he has ever known. The soles of the feet are another of many
other possibilities.
Invent love-making games. For
instance, start making love with both of you fully clothed. Wearing nothing but
tracksuits would work well. Each partner tries every conceivable way to stir up
the other, but it’s a competition. The first one yielding to temptation by
deliberately exposing skin or touching bare skin under clothing, ‘loses.’ With
breaks, this can go on for hours (even days) if you can last. One aspect of
good sex is to build sexual tensions higher and higher without relief, making
you crave each other more and more. If one partner consistently ‘wins,’ alter
the rules a little to balance things.
There are many possible variations,
such as making love when you are both undressed. This time decide together
which favorite parts of the body must not be touched. Again, each of you
arouses the other, trying to make it impossible for his/her partner to resist.
The ‘loser’ is the one who can stand it no longer and touches an off-limits
area or begs to be touched, or brings an off-limits area into contact with the
other person. If you both love kissing, another time allow everything but
kissing. See who is the first one to “forget.”
Good sex often has a lot of tease
elements, such as pretending to do something but not quite doing it. This
builds the longing for it.
Other ideas
Experiment with various scented
oils, powders, and so on, to help your hands and body slip over him.
Use different materials to stroke
his body such as feathers, satin, fur.
Buy a red light bulb. Being a light
that emphasizes red parts of the body, it a sexy color for light-skinned
people.
Try finding every conceivable
position in which to hug each other and be close. Initially, don’t go primarily
for sexual stimulation but just for fun and experimentation. Try head to toe,
front to back, him on top, you on top. Try rubbing your buttocks on his. Try
lying on each other on the floor and rolling over and over. On and on the
possibilities go. Find all sorts of ways to get limbs twisted around each
other. It’s up to you whether you actually proceed with them, but just for fun,
try discovering every conceivable sex position.
When you’ve got the house to yourselves,
make the most of it. Don’t just lock yourself up in your bedroom. Use the whole
house. Chase each other through it, use the sofa, and so on. Experiment. You
might, for instance, find that the kitchen table has something to offer
regarding a different sexual position. Maybe not, but it could be fun finding
out!
Find a secluded place to make love
outdoors. In the middle of a golf course at night? Find a deserted children’s
park with swings, slides and so on. It can be quite romantic because it’s like being
able to share your childhood together. If you’re alone (and since you’re
married) you can really play the little girl, wearing a dress and hanging
upside down showing off your underwear. You might even find some creative
things to do together on some of the equipment.
Male sexual difficulties
An impotent man can enjoy sexual
pleasure, but not intercourse. It’s a commonly accepted fact that most men at
some time in their lives experience temporary impotence, whether it be due to
tiredness, stress, too much sex, or whatever. It takes a lot of pressure off a
man if he has known, long before a problem occurs, that an erection does not
assume prime importance in his wife’s attitude to lovemaking. If, when an
erection fails to happen, it is brushed aside as no big deal and other forms of
lovemaking are enjoyed, the problem will most likely vanish in a matter of
days. But if impotence is seen as a great tragedy and fear and concern set in,
the problem is likely to continue and become serious. One of the most frustrating
things about male sexuality is that the harder a man tries, the less likely he
is to succeed. Conscious thought about the mechanics of sex usually hinders
performance. This is psychologically induced impotence, and is quite common.
To a certain extent, your husband’s
sexual prowess depends on you. Bill visited a prostitute. Seeing his male
equipment primed for action she said, “Is this all you’ve got?” Immediately, it
shrank. Realizing her error she used all her skill trying every conceivable way
to regain his erection. Nothing worked. Thereafter, he was impotent. I don’t
know if he ever recovered. Rarely can anyone be blamed for impotence and in
this case Bill was sinning and so in my view he got what he deserved.
Nevertheless, Bill’s experience demonstrates how delicate male sexuality is. It
is clearly in a wife’s own interest to boost her husband’s confidence and do
nothing to make him anxious about performance. Be totally honest, however. The
heights of marital intimacy involve baring the soul, not just the body. In this
and in every aspect of your relating, be brave and trust the God who loves you
so deeply that he gave you your partner for you to express God’s love.
