Condom question.

[funsex]

What do you think if your wife for 20 + years says to you one day before sex "can you use a condom?" We have not used condoms since before we had our two daughters 17 and 20 years ago. After our youngest she elected to have a tubligation so no risk of an un-planed child. I had a rush of mixed thoughts run through my mind. Sex has slowed way down months before she asked and even slower now.

What should I make of this?

Perhaps the semen causes some discomfort (clean up issues) for her? Other then this, you both need to have a very serious discussion about this request. Perhaps she is looking elsewhere or believes you are.

Forget the cleanup issues; we women learn to deal with that (Even Demon and her drippies). She either suspects you or is "protecting" you. Some women do douche or use condoms when they have different contacts close together. Sera says it all: time for a long chat.

I agree with Sara: long talk needed. But one reason I can think of, is that she might want to de-sensitize you, to make you last longer. That could also explain why sex has "slowed down".
