  aah yes, the compromise between spouses. But it doesn't have to be that way if the mutually love and want each other.

    Thanks, AP! Was not really thinking of spouses when I wrote this. More of a 'universal' kind of situation, making fun of the stereotype male/female relationship. But you are right, it does not have to be that way and usually is not, in a loving relationship.

    And sadly, sometimes it's a marriage of convenience based on sex or money, usually ending in divorce.

  A fine write Fred. Slap and tickle? A bit of the 'other'? Too swoony for me, I bet! heehee.

    Thanks, orchidee! You bet this is a 'slap and tickle'! Just poking a little fun at the 'men are from mars, women are from venus' crowd.

  This one captures the stereotypical male quite well, Fred ... sadly. But then, offsetting that stereotype, there are male poets who can think beyond the animal instincts we all are born with. Such is nature's design.
  Well written piece, my friend.

    Thanks Louis, it was meant as a tongue in cheek piece about stereotype, see my comments above. That is the beauty of writing. It does not matter how we are or how we think, we can 'invent' situations, make it serious or funny.

  A very good lighthearted write, Fred! I enjoyed it very much. Sounds like a conversation between a couple that just met. Nevertheless, a great write!

    Thank you Christina, just a way of poking fun at my own gender! And just so you know, I would NEVER do something like that!!! 🙂

  Good fun write Fred, the stereotypical male it may be but as you and I know when love happens it has nothing to do with sex.

    Thanks so much, Goldfinch! When you are right, you are right.

  Sex and love, he and she, simple, straight and fun. Roses, the compromise.
