I did. In my Home Ec class we learned everything from clothing repair to meal prep to playing the stock market. LIFE SKILLZ.

Your misogyny is pathological. Seek help.

Except that never fucking happens.

My standard for complimenting a woman’s appearance in the workplace is that I only say it if I would say the same thing to a man. Never steered me wrong. 

I was about to say, isn't just trying to be a decent human being and partner more likely to get you laid? This shouldn't be "choreplay" it should be "having a good relationship."

My god yes. Go you! The amount of men with learned helplessness regarding housework is truly depressing. “But you’re just better at it.” or “I don’t do it right” or “I don’t know what to do, just tell me what to do and I’ll do it” are things I’ve heard so many times from men. Well, how do you think I learned how to do…

I’ve tried this. Typically I’ve found the response is to simply wash their own clothing, feel like a hero, brush aside the squalor and literally ignore it because they don’t think enough of themselves to have a personal set of standards until it comes time to judge someone else. My husband once set me away to “relax”…

I grew up in Pennsytucky a million years ago, but in my decidedly un-progressive school, in 8th grade, everybody took home ec for half a year, and then everybody took wood shop for the other half of the year. Required for everybody, no substitutions or excuses. I don’t know if that had any eye-opening effects on my…

Look, assuming you stay together and keep having sex long enough, the long-term solution is having kids and making them do all the dishes and housework. As long as you start them on it early enough, it works. 

You just described my childhood. We all helped out with everything. I cooked dinner for everyone for the first time when i was 12 or 13.

Is it considered chore play when my husband bargains for a quickie by offering to get up with the kids in the morning and letting me sleep in an extra hour or more? Because everyone wins in this situation.

My husband does the dishes from the morning every day when we get home from work. This does not mean i’m going to have sex with him, it just means he a decent person who does dishes. He also cooks more than I do. I do the laundry and most of the cleaning. It all works out, and when we want to have sex, we have sex,…

I’ve never bought into the concept of sex as a reward in a marriage. Like, people who joke that they will get “lucky” on Valentine’s Day or guys who want to make “Steak and BJ Day” a thing. Sex should be something that both partners want and it shouldn’t viewed as a treat. It’s a part of a healthy relationship.

Or just don’t get into relationships with selfish babies.

Really? We’re going to use the cutesy “joke” of women and alcoholism to get through the day rather than admit your partner thinks laundry and diapers aren’t his responsibilities?

Watching your own kids isn’t babysitting, it’s parenting and cleaning up after yourself isn’t a kink*, it’s being a fucking adult.

And this is why I have my 3 year old son help with the laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and washing windows, because I refuse to raise another generation of men who are incapable of doing housework without being asked (shakes fist angrily at mother-in-law).

I call this “You’re more likely to get laid if you don’t royally piss me off”.

If prostitution is the oldest profession, “choreplay” (EYE FUCKING ROLL) is its oldest cousin. Women have *alllllllways* done/had to do shit like this to get what they wanted or needed from their men. We just never had fuckin cutesy Pinteresty names for it.

Doing housework as a quid pro quo for sex is both sad and an unfortunate over-simplification. However, if a guy is unhappy because his spouse doesn’t seem as interested in sexy fun times as they used to be, picking up a mop or a disrag isn’t a bad place to start.
