Before you step outside for some fresh air and a cigarette, here’s the moral to this story: Don’t make a judgment call on whether you’re ready for a home run before you’ve even experienced first base. The natural laws of female sexual arousal usually demand that we take things one step at a time, even after we have a wedding band on our finger. So instead of responding, “No, I’m not in the mood” most of the time as if you are frigid, at least give him a chance to get you in the mood. Otherwise, you shoot down your chances (and his) of enjoying the sexual intimacy that our minds, bodies, hearts and souls naturally crave.
