Chrissie Swan: Would you sign a sex contract?

By MAMAMIA TEAM

Radio presenter, television host, Logie winner and all-round funny woman Chrissie Swan sat down for a conversation with Show + Tell’s Monty Dimond about… sex contracts. And it is, predictably, absolutely hilarious.

“No I mean, I would sign one that says after the age of 38 I’m not doing it again.”

You can watch the entirety of this funny and frank conversation  below:

Yummy recipes, pretty things for your home and what’s on our mind are also a part of Show & Tell.

Do you agree that men want sex more than women, and women are holding out? Or can you think of many examples where the opposite is true?

I'm 25 and I love my fiance more than I could say, but most days I just don't want to have sex, it's not that I don't want to have sex with him, I just don't have the urge. He is constantly 'on' and if it were his choice we would have sex every night, even when we do once is not enough for him. When we were first together we would have sex everyday but over time life got busy and that flame died, I was on medication that killed my sex drive and even though I've been off it for a year the drive never came back. Sometimes I feel guilty that he wants it so badly and I just can't give it to him and other times I feel sad and angry that he pushes so much and doesn't respect how I feel. If he has a bad day at work and comes home stressed he tells me the only way that he can relax is sex but to me that is not a reason to have sex and that pressure to have to perform for him is very upsetting to me. Is there something wrong with me for not wanting sex, or is there something wrong with him for wanting to much? I sometimes wonder if he should see someone about it because I think he wants it too much, he will be at work sending me dirty messages because he can't stop thinking about sex. Is that normal? Or am I just overreacting because I'm not a sexual as him?

I feel exactly the same. It's actually really depressing.

If "the pill makes me crazy" is a problem try another form of contraception !!!
As other posters have said libido's need to be compatable otherwise there can be so much sadness.
However can I be controversial and say, if you don't feel in the mood sometimes it doesn't hurt to be kind to a loving giving partner. It might not be a sexual experience but it can be a loving experience if you think of it as a gift/ act of love.
Don't make it focused on orgasm. If expectations are low. eg I really love my husband lets cuddle and if his bits enter my bits it will feel pleasant and he will feel loved and I will feel desired.
The worse thing that will happen is you've made him feel happy and loved. If the stars are in alignment you might feel something else ;-)
If you are not doing it because you feel unhappy with him fair enough.If you are not letting him love you because you think you are an ugly podgy mess (that's me & how I used to think) , get over yourself and stop being so vain but also so out of control that you are punishing your loved one because your body doesn't match your standards!
Reading Anita Shrieves book The Weight Of Water totally changed my attitude. It's heartbreaking to read a husbands love and appreciation of his wifes body and her hatred of her body poisons everything.
I am a yoyo dieter and have issues but I now refuse to let my issues pollute my love life.
