ENJOY!

Dear Lori, My wife and I have been married for seven years and have three wonderful children, ages 13, 8, and 6 months. Our marriage is good, but I’d like to add some spark back to our sex life. I still think my wife is beautiful, but our lives revolve so much around the kids that lovemaking has taken a backseat to diaper-changing. She used to wear sexy lingerie to bed, but now it’s ripped T-shirts and granny underpants.

I’d love it if she wore something hot and lacey – the kind of lingerie she used to wear when she’d seduce me after dinner. The last time I mentioned this to her she was offended, as though I didn’t find her attractive anymore. How do I buy her lingerie without making her angry or hurting her feelings? Frustrated in Miami

Dear Frustrated,I can understand why you feel the way you do. It’s difficult to feel passionate about panties only a grandma would wear. Keep in mind that your wife probably feels pretty unattractive these days – it’s hard to feel sexy when you’re covered in baby drool. I suggest you hire a babysitter or send the kids to the grandparents' and dress up for a romantic night, complete with candlelight dinner and bubble bath.

As part of the evening, present her with the gift of lingerie. Then tell her how beautiful you know she’ll look in it. I don’t know many women who would get angry at that! In fact, I’d bet she would be happy to model it for you, and then continue to show her gratitude… Men, remember you are the one that is to prepare the entire evening. You don't want to add one more thing for her to have to do.

Dear Lori, My girlfriend wants us to start using a vibrator when we have sex, and I feel she wants to replace me with double AA batteries. She says she uses one when we’re not able to see each other, and that the orgasms are always intense. Now I’m feeling insecure, as though I won’t be able to live up to her pocket rocket. How can I explain this to her? Fearful in Fort Lauderdale

Dear Fearful, You are not alone – this subject has come up many times in my office. The good news? In all of my years of practice I have never encountered a client who wanted to replace her partner with a dildo! After all, it would be pretty difficult to dress up a vibrator and take it out to dinner! Adult toys were created to enhance passion and intimacy – not replace it. I suggest the two of you talk about it. And remember, toys can be a lot of fun for both of you.
