A MAN has been left confused by his wife turning down intercourse on the basis of not being ‘in the mood’, which is not an issue he has experienced.
Nathan Muir says the odd idea came up when he asked his partner of ten years, Francesca, if she would be up for sex during his lunch break.
He continued: “We were both working from home and I asked if she fancied it. She comes back with a claim she wasn’t ‘in the mood’. I had no idea what she could possibly mean.
“She’d finished her meetings, I know because she swore and slammed shut her laptop after the last one, and she’d had soup so she wasn’t hungry. How are you not up for the sexual ecstasy of an orgasm?
“I can only assume she had explosive diarrhoea and was embarrassed to say. That’s pretty much the only thing that would give me pause. Even then I’d manfully try to push through it.”
Francesca Johnson said: “I’ve got deadlines hanging over me, I need to book a catsitter, it’s broad daylight and the only conversation we’d had all day was about what bins to put out, and he wants to f**k? What’s wrong with him?”
Muir said: “I suppose I should endeavour to understand her complicated inner world better. Next time, before I ask, I’ll see if she needs an Imodium.”
