I've started initiating whenever I am in the mood. Not an accusatory "why don't we have sex anymore" thing, but a spontaneous grant of sexual favors kind of initiation. I make the first move more often. And I make a concerted effort to not say no unless it is absolutely necessary that I say no. Most women don't take the initiative and wait around for their husbands to want it. Sometimes a woman has to make a man want it. Know what I mean?
I've decided that being tired is no longer an acceptable excuse for me. The result: my husband is the one who has to say no. I don't say no anymore. Sex life is greatly improved. When he does say no, I don't get upset at all. I just accept it. Sometimes he changes his mind, sometimes he goes right to sleep. But one thing I've learned is that when we hit a dry spell, I can't rely on him to initiate. I have to take charge of the situation. When we get back on track, the libido goes back up and everyone's happy.
Oh, and the standby stilettos go a long way, so if you don't wear them, get a pair to trot around the house in.
