My wife and I went out to dinner with our best friends Neal and Judy the other night and I found out what turns Judy on. After 12 years of marriage the thing that makes her feel connected and ready to “go” in bed is…choreplay.

She loves it even more when YOU iron.

She feels that kissing and touching and suggestive conversation are all fine-but the thing that gets her hot and bothered, is if Neal does the dishes, puts in a load of wash, gives the kids baths and gets them into bed all by himself.

The more chores he does on any given night, without being asked, the closer he is to getting lucky.

So I asked Neal, if he knows this, why doesn’t he do chores more often? He just looked at everyone blankly for a minute and then tentatively  answered,  “I guess I hate doing the dishes, more than I like having sex.”
