Doing "it" to make him happy: Guys listen to her inner voice

Our research is showing that there are innumerable times when a woman simply says "YES" even when what she really wants to say is "NO" to physical intimacy. Why is that? Here are some of the reasons that we heard in our survey:

  1. It is my duty.
  2. I want to make him happy, no matter what.
  3. If I don't give it to him, he will go elsewhere.
  4. I am not in the mood right now, but maybe I will get into it as we go along.
  5. There are times that I will not be in the mood or vice-versa. So just lie down and let him be happy.
All of these are very noble thoughts and what we find is that men also do the same, though less often than women.

What should women do about deciding when to be physically intimate?

If both partners always wait for the perfect time for both, it is not a good idea. However, it is also not a good idea to literally force yourself to have physical intimacy even though you really don't want it. So learn to say NO. It is very unlikely that your partner will force it on you.

How can men understand when to listen to a NO that is never said in words?

Talking to your partner and developing a perfect understanding on the subject of physical intimacy is probably difficult for most couples. However, men also do a rather poor job of reading their partner's minds. Don't just take her politeness for a YES. Probe a little deeper to make sure that what you feel is also felt by her. If you are ready, are you sure that she is ready too? Ask her, read her body language.

There will be situations like #4 above and that is when you really need to do a better job of charming and seducing her. Have you dressed right for the night? (Yes, women are increasingly demanding that men also dress appropriately in the bedroom) Are you creating the right mood for her by avoiding topics like work, money, kids, etc. And instead focusing on her and your relationship? How about a light massage? How about saying sweet nothings into her ears? How about reliving memories of your relationship? How about just telling her what she means to you? Our research shows that this works.
