I came across the following extracts from an actual school textbook on sex education from the sixties:

* Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost
importance, your tired husband does not want to
queue for the bathroom as he would for the train.

* Try to achieve a look that is welcoming,
without being obvious.

* Do not pressure him to stimulate intimacy.

* Should your husband suggest congress then agree
humbly while being mindful that a man's
satisfaction is more important than a woman's.

* If he suggests any of the more unusual
practices, be obedient and uncomplaining but
register any reluctance by remaining silent.
 
What about this then ?

The following is an actual excerpt from a 1950 high school home-economics textbook:

Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself: Take fifteen minutes to rest so that you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

Clean away the clutter: Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.

Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

Minimize all noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest that he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take his shoes.

Speak in a low, soft, soothing voice. Allow him to relax and unwind. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other pleasant entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to unwind and relax.

The goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax in body and spirit.
 
Incredible nowadays to imagine a woman could have written that, isn't it?

And yet, be honest, guys, how many of us wouldn't give their eye teeth for someone like that...
 
.......& your chances of getting someone like that are about nil, unless you marry someone in their 90's who still thinks that way!!


Jesus, any bloke expects me to keep house, cook & clean, they'll be sorely disappointed!! :lol:
 
Thinking about it, I don't even cook & clean for myself...I eat out or at work to save doing the cooking & the washing up...
 
"Be a little gay" What's that all about then? :rolleyes:

You would certainly not get away with that nowadays with everything having to be 100% PC!

It made me chuckle though to see the word used in it's old fashioned context! :D
 
We can look back upon the above "sex education" as fun but the following is downright dangerous.

The Bush administration will spend $170m next year on pro-abstinence sex education programmes.

By law they are not allowed to discuss the benefits of birth control or condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

A recent study of them across the US found that the programmes instead give the following advice:

* You can catch HIV from sweat.

* Half of the gay men in the US have HIV.

* Abortions lead to sterility and suicide

* Girls can get pregnant from touching a boy's genitals.

What next... masturbating makes you go blind?
 
I tried to get my ex wife to do just a few of those things.... but it fell on deaf ears!!(so to speak) thats why two solicitors are now well off ...................... and me now being a one man band..... doing it all? (cant do ironing though everything else is easy!! plus my hobbies etc etc)............. :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
An acrimonious parting with the Rickards fortunes and jewels ? at stake.......... :o :lol: :lol:

but now very much back on my feet..................... :rolleyes:

Which reminds me! we have a Condom factory up the valleys at Ystrad-Mynach!! and the owner recieved an order from the states wanting 3 million condoms 12inches... minimum length.

He sent down the job center for two female operatives to work 12 hr shifts.

He met the two ladies and said " look I want you to use this stamp machine and stamp every condom which comes off the production line !!

made in Wales!! medium size!!!!
