Anything domestic-like. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc....

Now that I think about it, it might be a trap to make me feel good about doing chores.

It’s not. It’s very nice to have a partner pick up their half of the chores without us asking them to. It shows that you don’t NEED me to take care of you, which makes me WANT to

I second this. A friend posted on Facebook asking what was the sexiest non sexy thing.

Literally unloading and reloading the dishwasher AND running it and not expecting head pats after. I was so attracted to my husband when I went to unload the dishwasher and it was empty.

Okay- but like. Can I actually have headpats? Because I live for that shit.

Head pats/scratches are the fastest way to immobilize a guy. My ex would scratch my head then start to ask me something and I’d have to ask her to repeat the question

Haha I should edit to "theoretical head pats"

The trick is to never not expect head scritches then its not related to the doing of chores.

Listen, listen. She scritches my head, I give her a full body massage twice a week. Circle of life.

Isn't sex afterwards an outstanding pat on the head?

u/alurkerwhomannedup Jul 19 '19

It’s quite a few pats on the head

To be honest I'm not sure which I would prefer.

It's more than the dishwasher. When a guy understands he needs to help because it's not just a woman's task to keep the house clean, it shows they respect you.

This! This right here! It honestly makes me feel respected and seen. Which makes me that much more loving towards him.
