    OK ladies...fess up! Do you give favors for, well, favors?

    There's not a nice way to post that threat title, so here goes:
    Do you sometimes save sexual things for things that you need? Like large purchases?
    Yes, sounds much like a concubine, indeed, but do a lot of us do this?

    No, no need to do anything like that; I buy or do what I want without having to bribe with sex.

    Well, maybe I shouldn't put it that way.
    I do too, but there are times when...well, let's just say, I need a good mood before I do it.

    In a joking manner, sure. If there is something I want for a large amount of $$$$ (note want, not need) DH will jokingly tell me that a certain favor will make him feel more warm and fuzzy about the purchase but the truth of the matter is, I'd get what I wanted whether he 'got it' or not.

    I sometimes negotiate "favours" for perhaps a back rub or a foot massage...it's foreplay for my aching tired body

    Not seriously. But the phrase "It might be worth it for you" is not unheard of in our marraige (actually from both of us.) We also make bets with sexual favors as the prize.
