“WTF,” you ask. “I’m always initiating sex and she’s always like, get the hell off me, you animal.” Here’s the thing. Sadly enough, your wife may think that you just want to have sex with her because she’s there and she’s your only option. She thinks of desire as something way different, where you put in a lot of effort to woo her and seduce her be...
