Apparently there is but just not the way I imagined. I loved one woman's comment - the world should assume I enjoy sex; its part of the deal.

My husband is a cuddle monster, but is cured of this at the slightest possibility of a romp

Is a "romp" what I think it is?

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

My sister and I were just talking about this. Our men like to cuddle more than we do and we really like to cuddle.

SO and I both like to cuddle (I think I like it more than, um, romping) but at night he doesn't want to be woken up by me cuddling him. If you've ever seen an episode of Bert and Ernie, he's Bert and I'm Ernie. I wake him up at the drop of a hat for silly reasons and have a hard time controlling myself as many times as he tells me not to.

I'm amazed how many of my married friends rarely have sex and say for the most part they are satisfied. To each their own, maybe they truly are sexually satisfied on cuddling and a once monthly rendezvous, but I can't fathom being satisfied with that myself unless it were for health reasons.
