“Redefining Romance”: Opinionated MAMA’s Perspective on VALENTINE’S DAY

Love is in the air.  Hearts and roses.  Hugs and kisses.  Love.  Love.  Sweet love. We dream about it, write poems about it, watch movies about it, listen to sappy songs about it.  It makes us laugh, it makes us cry, it makes us do crazy things. Love, sweet love. 

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.  Then, what?  Hearts and flowers go out the window.  We’re up to our eyeballs in diapers and laundry.  We wear nursing bras and granny panties.  We don’t feel sexy - we’re tired,...

CHOREPLAY: Men Who Do Chores Get More Nooky

Recent studies from University of Western Ontario and University of Illinois at Chicago are finding that men who help clean, take care of their kids, and do other domestic chores around the home, get more action in the bedroom.  The concept of “choreplay” may be the best foreplay yet- and is backed up by research data that reflects that women are more likely to want to have sex when their male partner helps out around the house.

Even science is weighing in- researchers from the Netherlands have found that the biological key to getting women turned on to the heights of orgasm is by creating a deep sense of relaxation and lack of anxiety in the female brain.  Consequently, the men who are most involved in domestic chores, taking responsibilities off their partners’ to-do lists, appear to receive the greatest pay-off after hours.

MOMism: Give a little, get a little. Newsflash- men get more snooky if they pull their own weight around the house. Read the book Porn for Women, and you will smile at the cover photo displaying a smiling man vacuuming the living room.  And….he’s no dummy- there’s a reason that he’s smiling.  He has something to look forward to.  So MAMAs, pull out the bottle of Windex and hand it over.  Tell your partners that a clean kitchen is really the fast-track to getting lucky. Forget the jewelry, flowers and lingerie- a mop, rag, and vacuum will do. Pay it forward, embrace your power, and make sure to keep up your end of the bargain. For a man, there is no better motivator than sex- SHOCKER!!

    They call it the "Honey-Do List" and when he does something on your Honey-Do List he should get a "coochie coupon." I'm just saying!
