On My Knees

When I first fell in love with my husband I was 15 years old. I had just spent the entire day busting my ass, building a pig pen (yes, really) with his cousin down the road. I spent all day nailing planks and dreaming of ways to see my darling Boo, when suddenly, he materialized out of thin air.

The flirting began, and before you knew it, I was cussing him out and trying to kill him. I called him a variety of names and hurled a hammer at his head, all the while our parents sat yards away, planning our future.

Of course, as anyone who plays ball with me could tell you, I really couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, so my darling Boo's noggin was safe from flying carpentry tools. Boo is no idiot though, he beat a hasty retreat and disappeared. I didn't know whether to be heart broken or relieved.

Just when I was about to give in to my teenage angst, the young and foolish Boo returned on horseback and swept me into his arms for our first real kiss. Boo was a believer in grand gestures and romance.

Then he got married.

And suddenly his grand gestures entail standing in front of me when I am sitting on the couch or at the computer and whipping out Mr. Pickle and letting me know he has something for me to suck on.

Or, if I mention I have a sore throat, he always let's me know he has a cure.

Classy and romantic. How did I get so lucky?

Before he abandoned me left to go to work this last time, we got into an age old argument. You know, the one where he wants to know why, when I'm sitting on the couch next to him watching the evening news, I can't simply lean over and um, provide him with a hummer.

After all, it's always ready to stand at attention, and according to my husband, would make the news so much more gratifying.

As a journalist, I always tell him the news is not supposed to be gratifying, but informative.

This of course led into a discussion about whether hummers where a dating activity only, a form of foreplay or a sexual activity all on it's own. Because apparently, according to my darling hubs, it's been so long since he's received one that he is reverting back into a prepubescent boy, dreaming of his ninth grade teacher and wondering how soft a woman's mouth really is. This of course, is not the complete truth. But it has made for some interesting discussions with my girlfriends. Apparently, I'm not the only wife on the block with a husband who feels that particular need is not being met.

So, like any good journalist, I took my enquiring mind out on the road and started asking questions. I was determined to find out whether I was saddled with the horniest husband in the world or whether my sexual appetite was lacking.

Turns out, my appetite is just fine. And my husband is not the most concupiscent. That particular honor must be bestowed upon my best friend Roxylynn's husband. Lucky her.

I learned something when I was snooping around, asking my perverted questions. One, I learned that I really have no shame boundaries. I will ask anyone pretty much anything. Two, my dad blushes like a school girl when I teased him about being able to take out his teeth and give my mom a gummer. Thirdly, all men wish we were horny little vacuum cleaners. Doesn't matter how much or how often they get it, they always want more.

Kind of like eating Chinese food. You can eat until your stuffed to the gills, and then an hour later you discover you are still hungry.

Of course, I learned other things, like the fact that some women enjoy the salty biproduct of a successfully rendered job. And for those who don't, apparently eating pineapple can help. (The men eat the pineapple, the women just, well, suck.) I learned the etiquette of spit or swallow. Who knew there was such a thing. Turns out most men really don't care, as long as they have a woman in the nether regions willing to drool and get lock-jaw for him.

I also heard hummer horror stories. If I was writing for Penthouse, I'd tell you about some of them, but let's face it, I've already attracted enough pervs with the whole spit or swallow sentence.

Boo has decided my indifference to this particular playtime activity stems from our teenagedom, and my sexual insecurities as a young woman.

Me, I just think, I have better things in life to chew suck on.

But I promise darling, when you get home, I'll be down on my knees, waiting for you.

Of course, I'll be scrubbing my continually dirty floors, but I will be down on my knees...

My preverted husband has no idea why I wouldn't want to wake him every morning at 5:00 am with some vacuum action.
And he has to check it first thing every morning to make sure no one stole his johnson in the night....he's great!

Geez! and to think all those porn movies are wrong!

what I am given to understand is that a majority of women out there do not want to 'lavish attention on the rod of power'??

LOL

actually after 12+ years of marriage (and unspecified years of dating same woman) I'd like to think I pretty much figured this one out...

When will women realize the way to your man's heart is not thru his stomach? It's a little lower.

Mine is just as sick. I get smacked in the side of the face with it while I'm trying to do work on the computer. Men are gross. And he also thinks that I should LOVE and ENJOY giving him pleasure daily. Yeah okay, and then he woke up.

You are so right: no matter how often men get "it", they feel they could always get more.

Why, just last night over dinner some randy words were spoken and I asked exactly, "when was the last time we had 'sexual relations'?"

Husband's answer: "God, about a week ago, at least." (long pause) "When we got drunk."

"That was Saturday. A mere 3 days ago!"

"Yeah," DH says, "about a week!"

Dear Redneck Canook,

I read KimmyK's blog on occasion and today she alluded to her readers that one may see pierced titty's over here. I'm STILL LOOKIN'

I thought if ever a title of blog would manifest such a hedonistic Christmas treat I thought it this "on my knees." To no avail. Please post you titties for xmas!!

Finally, a well know researcher in the field of fellation (fof), the late Dr H.O. Potamus, finally came to the age old concusion for wives: "Give at home first.'

Good Day,

King Shocka Khan
