Would You, Could You?

I'd like to welcome Mari LaVell back to Adding Zest today. Are you ready for some (modified) Dr. Seuss?

I have a very open relationship with my twenty-five-year-old daughter. We talk about pretty much everything. I even pointed her here, to the Adding Zest blog. I sure wish there had been something like this when I was a not-so-newlywed after the newness-of-wed wore off.

One day our conversation swayed to the topic of sex. I’m sure it happened when she discovered my Show and Tell post on Zest.

That day she tried to boast that she could probably teach me a thing or two about sex now that she was six years into her marriage. That kinda hurt my pride. Lol. I told her: I don’t think so. We spent the next few minutes on a silly, giggly journey of “one-up-ya”, comparing adventures. I think I impressed her. *wink*

When sex becomes boring or predictable, it can be much more difficult to achieve maximum pleasure. Sometimes you just have to shake things up a little. Doing “it” somewhere adventurous can be a bit of a turn on. That dangerous risk factor does strange things to a man.

Would you do it here or there?
Would you do it anywhere?

Will you try outside your house?
And be as quiet as a mouse?

Or as sly as a fox?
Think kinky, fun,
outside the box.

Will you drive somewhere far?
And steam the windows in your car?

Try it underneath a tree.
It will be fun…trust me, you’ll see.

An adventure it would be,
if you do it on a train.
But romance is what you’ll see,
if you’re drenched in summer rain.
Could you, would you, in the dark?
I dare you bare you in a park.

Don’t be shy, you silly goat,
Go ahead and rock the boat.

In the dark,
At a park.
On a train,
Or in the rain.

Would you, could you
‘neath the trees?
Or somewhere far
In your car?

Think kinky fun, outside the box.
You slinky, sly, sexy fox.

Try it at your mother’s house.
It’s fun when quiet as a mouse.

You should do it somewhere new.
Don’t wait for him to get a clue.

You should do it here or there.
Baby, try it anywhere.
