Yes Orion we have the whole top floor, there are 2 large rooms there so I have one for my sewing, crafts and we put a large walk in closet in there too.
We do keep a baby monitor on so we can hear if the 9 year old is sleep walking, although he usually comes all the way up stairs and just stands next to the bed. we have still been caught a couple times, they have learned to knock or call up the stairs!

Thanks Honey, for letting us into your life. Wow! 30 years, you got us beat hands down. Congrats on the monumental years of marriage. We are looking forward to hitting that one in another 15 years. It does go by fast.

Working at keeping a communication is a full time job, definately. But I love how you mention the little things; kissing for just plain kissing, rubbing behind his neck as you drive to the grocery store, playing toesies under the dining room table while having your family dinner. Those are just as important as having kick-ass sex!

Hey Celtic, don't you just LOVE your Swing?! Post it in the Toys Story Section. You now know why that is one of our very favorite toy together.

I do love it, but I think we need a little more experience with it to get completely comfortable with it.

Don't you worry, I'm sure there'll be an entire novel about how spiffy it is once we're a little more experienced with it.

(after all, it's not like I write very much... *snort*)

But Celtic,
Isn't that the whole idea? Getting used to it means you got to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY! Do you have the spider stand or do you have it put into a ceiling beam?

LOL!
It's in a ceiling beam right now because we can't afford the stand... but I'll admit, it's in a hell of a spot because studs are impossible to find in base housing. Anyone who walks in the front door and recognizes the eyebolt will smirk, because it's in the front entrance.

I'll take a picture and post it later. I think it's hilarious.

Hang a plant from it!

You know, if you're a really good girl, we may let you try our Bonker. Pretty amazing!

I'm good! I'm REALLY GOOD!
I'm hopping into the swing again tonight for research purposes!!! I'm eagerly going to check the mail with high hopes tomorrow! I'm writing up a storm!

I'm good I'm good I'm good I'm good!

*insert eyelash batting here*

I'm good.

I am feeling the need to post an update.

Despite the fact that we still have a LONG ways to go, I am happy to report a drastic improvement.

First and foremost, I believe that this change is largely due to this wonderful website and its boards. I posted a very similar question elsewhere once and never really got anything that helped me float his boat. Here, already, there are ideas and personal examples and simple words of support. What a difference!

Secondly, I believe our love swing jump started communication. Unlike just about any other toy (excluding sex furniture, I'm supposing, although this is our first jaunt into that category) the swing is requiring that we communicate at least some about what we want. After all, even though it's possible, you just don't toss the swing up, climb in, and expect to have mind boggling sex without SOME communication.

Thirdly, I've been lucky enough to get some personalized help and advice (at least that's what I'm calling it, tee hee) that is thankfully leaving us no choice but to communicate REALLY well at least part of the time.

Combine all of this with the efforts I am making towards becoming more physically fit (and consequently more physically attractive) and I have a feeling that our sex life has every potential to explode with new feeling. Yes, pun intended.

As important as communication (about sex or other things) is in committed relationships, I am glad that I'm learning (and I'm sure others are too) how to communicate better and feel more open about exploring the wide wonderful world of sex with my husband.

Thanks, Eddy and Freddy.

Yeah... Uh... first off... Hiya all.
I belong to the hot redhead with the frog fetish. Anywho... we're getting better, and after reading her post... I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought so.
Just making my presence known... and I promise I'll be good here. But, feel free to enjoy my further misadventures elsewhere Freddy.

Ranger (the aforementioned J)

Man, the surprises never seem to stop around here these days. I can't WAIT to see how this one goes...

I seem to remember tangling up with you pretty good in the past. Of course, over at that "other" place, I didn't have the power of the account delete button, which I DO have here.

But... c'mon... I promise I'll be good. Seriously... Stop laughing Ang. I promise to use my powers for good instead of evil. I need somewhere to get away from the pull of the Dark Side.
And admit it... it was fun. But all that's behind us now. Right? Right?? Heh... hehe... Ok... I'll shut up and color now... just... keep yer finger off the Death Ray.... Please???

Ranger

Ironic that this is happening in the communication thread. But I need to go and have some hot sex with my HOT WIFE. So, I'll definitely be checking in tomorrow to see if you've chased everyone away!

Okay, okay...

I do have to interject one thing.

Freddy, your 'good' side shows better here.
I expect Ranger's will too.

If it doesn't... well, I have a nice Goliath if he's being unruly. I'll tie his hands behind his back and make him watch. Then I'll leave him tied all night... damn, somehow I don't know that that will really be a punishment.

How do you punish someone who loves it???

Hey, just wanted to throw my two cents in here about communication. My guy and I have been in a long-distance thing for almost two years now (he moves here next week, im so excited!) so we basically see each other every month or two months. This means we spend a lot of time talking on the phone, msn, etc, and not so much time in the bedroom. As a result our sexlife hasn't progressed very much in two years, but when we do see eachother its damn hot. Umm.. what did i want to say again? Oh ya. Okay. I dont know how many of you are athletes, but I am an aspiring Olympic athlete and have had a lot of training in visualization. Basically if you can visualize yourself repeating a task properly a million times, its super easy to do in real life when the time comes. Somehow this has leaked over into my relationships. I imagine conversations/confrontations in my head over and over and this helps me deal with the real situation. The usual scenerio is that I feel upset with my guy, but I'm not sure why. By having the fight with him in my head first, I am able to figure out why I am upset, and how he/we can fix it. This aleviates conversations like "whats wrong?" "nothing" meaning we move on a lot quicker. (As a side note, its also how I seduced him in the first place. I had imagined kissing him so many times in my head that when it actually happened I was able to go with it.)
