A Texan buys a round of drinks for the entire bar, announcing that his wife has just produced “a typical Texas” baby boy weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations showered him from all around, along with many exclamations of “Wow!” Two weeks later, the Texan returns to the bar. The bartender says, “Say, you’re the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?” The proud father answers, “Seventeen pounds.” The bartender, puzzled and concerned, asks, “Why? What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth.” The Texas father takes a slow swig from his longneck beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, “Had him circumcised.”

Q: submitted by Rachel

I have the feeling my boyfriend wants me to initiate sex, but for some reason I have trouble with that, even though I truly enjoy sex. I'm affectionate with him and am very attracted to him, so it isn't that. But when it comes to seducing him, I feel silly, shy or somehow like a fraud. What can I do to overcome this?

A:
first off i can confirm that your b/f would like you to initiate sex sometime. i think just about every guy i know likes it when his girl approaches him for sex once in awhile. i think it is great that you have sensed this and even greater that you want to do something about it. so how do you go about doing it? the approach you should take is to ease into it. start off by just getting yourself in the mood. turn the lights down, light some candles and have a couple glasses of wine while waiting for him to get home (or come over). if you want to go the extra mile slip into something a little sexy. when your b/f walks into the house and you are sipping on some wine in an enviroment like this things are going to just naturally happpen! just doing something like this is a step in the right direction. not to mention the wine will help you with the shyness a bit! ;-) just remember you have nothing to feel shy or silly about. you are a beautiful woman (i can just tell these things) and life is too short to be worrying about looking silly in front of your own boyfriend. have fun with it and each time you can get a little bit more agressive on the seduction front as you become more comfortable initiating sex. i think you are going to find that your b/f is going to love this new courageous/confident side of you and you are going to love this new side of you as well! not to mention the great sex you will have. before you know it you are going to be in a crotchless body suit on the bed teasing your pussy with a vibrator eagerly awaiting his arrival (btw ladies, if you have not given you husband or b/f the pleasure of arriving to a scene like this let me just tell you that it is the gift that keeps on giving!). so don't make any excuses and try some of these things as soon as possible...i promise you that you won't regret it! ;-)
