Is lighting the candle enough?

Sometimes initiating sex is making his favorite pot roast for dinner, or putting the kids to bed early, or lighting a candle. Women tend to be more subtle. She’s thinking: “I lit a candle. Doesn’t he get it?! What is he waiting for? Oh, well. I guess he’s not into it. He doesn’t find me attractive anymore.” And then one day he complains that she never initiates, and she says: “But I lit the candle! Didn’t you get it?!” With men, unless you stick your hand in their crotch they often don’t get it. Men are more direct. They may rub up against you with their erection, or proudly show you that part of their anatomy & expect you to be enthusiastic and have you drop to your knees with desire. And then women complain that they feel like a piece of meat, that they don’t feel desired for who they are, that he’s not romantic enough.
