Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. -CQW

Last weeks TMI asked about resolutions. And most everyone responded that they don’t make them. And their reasons behind *not* doing them were great. I loved reading everyone’s answers to that question. But Biscuit put it the very best I thought….
“Why is one day of the year any different than another? If you need to kick a bad habit, why should you wait for a special day to come around before you get started? The majority of New Year’s resolutions are made without any real consideration for what it would take to be successful. They are made on a whim, out of habit or under pressure, and bound to fail.”
That Biscuit’s not only hot, but she’s a smart one. ~wink~ I personally have never made resolutions. I’m with Biscuit, if I’m going to accomplish something or make a change in my life, I’ll just set the goal to do it.
Last year I read an article in Glamour regarding one man’s New Year’s resolution. It was based on the premise that “The best resolutions are about doing something positive, instead of giving up something negative”. This man and his wife had celebrated the birth of their first child nine months earlier and sex life had taken a hiatus. His wife suggested they make a New Years resolution…to have sex every day. And the article/story goes on to document their sex life for the next two months. The idea is interesting. Intriguing. And I have to admit, kind of hot. No??? Hmm….
Another cute one, is the commercial from chemistry.com. The girl says “I vow to never wear a flannel nightgown” and her guy responds with a flirty smile… “How about you vow to never wear a nightgown”. Super cute. ~grins~
So. Could you be willing to make a resolution like that? Have you made any sexual/relationship type resolutions? Just for fun? To be flirty?

I don’t make resolutions because… I keep them. And a resolution thought up on a whim is not necessarily the best thing to stick to–we need reevaluation continually for improvement, not slap-dash promises that set us up for failure (or an excess of success).
And that commercial? I hate it. It’s cute and sweet, but it always makes me sad. But that’s just me.

I do like the adopting a positive behavior approach. Sexual/relationship resolutions? Don’t you need to be having sex to make those *wink* Nah … but I do think with the right person it could be a lot of fun!

I never make any resolutions. I’m no f’in quitter!!
The positive approach might be a good plan though, but some folks don’t at least intend to have sex of some form everyday? The commercial did make me snigger the first time I saw it.

I’ve tried to get my husband to try even a “once-a-week sex” resolution, but he’s not ready to make that sort of commitment. I’ve pointed out the various pastors that have challenged their congregations to regular sex with the spouses, but he’s still not on board. Thinks it is unrealistic with two kids who always want to sleep with mom and dad. But I think it’s worth a shot – after all, it’s been since JULY!

My husband requested that I make a resolution to give him a blowjob every day. *LOL* Not that I don’t enjoy giving him that pleasure, but if he got one every day, it would become ho-hum.
Heh…hum..er…not intended, but funny.

(((Dana)))
Good point, lol.
VixenJanuary 7th, 2009 at 8:27 am
(((Bunny))) I didn’t know men like your husband existed until I met you. He won’t commit to try for once a wk?? *sigh*

Biscuit- yeah….sex every day sounds fun, you can switch it up, there can be variety. A BJ daily sounds….um, not as much fun. LOL
(you’re such a goof, in that adorable way, lolol)

I wonder if all the folks who think “Why is one day of the year any different than another?” about a new year’s resolutions think that Valentine’s Day is a valid holiday.
Daily sex was great. It would be good again.
Dana – yes you need the right person and, in theory, the right person you would be having sex with.
Bunny – I went from December 01 until January 04 (the divorce was final in January 04 and was filed because the lack of sex was a symptom of larger problems).
Biscuit – You could counter with one for everyone he gives you.

Resolutions- oh I haven’t even made them yet. I haven’t even thought if I wanted to make them.
hubmanI really enjoyed reading this. :)

You know, there are a lot of pretty smart people out here in the blogosphere! After reading tons of posts and comments about resolutions, I’m rethinking even having them, or at least making them positive actions instead of negative actions.
A sex resolution? I *love* a challenge. Hmm, have to think about what to do, though….
VixenJanuary 7th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Prof Fate- Oh yeah…I forget that you are one of those pple who think Valentines Day is a scam. ROFL

For an idea…you read my last post. How about something related to that? IDK…it’s all so dumb.

Hmmm… I’m liking the thought of a sexual resolution. I’m sure I can come up with SOMETHING.
I don’t make resolutions, I set goals, and then suck at meeting them.
But I’m pretty sure the sex one would be a hell of a lot more interesting :)

Not so much a scam but… “Why is one day of the year any different than another?”
