How to Avoid Sex with Your Husband or Boyfriend

Let's face it - sometimes us girls just don't feel like it. A long day, personal problems or testy children can often stop sexual desire dead in its tracks for the day. Men usually do not see it this way. If you are awake and alive then they don't see why their needs cannot be met. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to take a day off now and then so here are some tips on getting out of doing the deed when you really feel like crap.

Toothache

The headache excuse is played out but most men can muster sympathy for a terrible toothache. Elaborate by rinsing with salt water and using hot compresses. No one wants to make the excruciating pain of a toothache worse.

Diarrhea

Tell him you have a mean case of diarrhea due to some exotic food you had for lunch yesterday. No dude will want to encroach on this touchy situation. This might even work for an extended amount of time if you need it. You can elaborate by spending lots of time in the bathroom. This will afford you some spare time to paint your nails or give yourself a facial. Buy a magazine ahead of time for extra entertainment while in the loo.

Children Issues

If you have a baby you can say that the baby is extra moody tonight and that you want to sleep in the living room with him or her because you don't want the noise to bother your significant other. The guy will usually agree with not having to be subjected to the noise. This works well if you need a night to sleep alone without being kicked, hearing snores or smelling.... well, you know. After he's asleep feel free to watch the Lifetime channel and eat haagen-dazs to your heart's content.

Chores

Men usually don't want to get in the way of serious chores. Find something to do around bedtime that you have been meaning to accomplish. Giving the oven a good cleaning or washing the baseboards are good examples. Tell him that you just can't leave something half finished that you've worked so hard on. Continue until you are sure that he has fallen asleep.

Feigned Sleep

If you're already in bed, you can always pretend to be so exhausted that you have just fallen to sleep on him. This might not always work. Elaborate on this idea by lightly snoring or talking nonsense when he tries to wake you.

You can use any of these ideas when you just need a break. If you find yourself using these tips more often than not, you might want to reconsider your relationship.
