15 Critical Times To Give Him What He Wants

Relationships take a lot of work. With the compromises made between two people blending their lives together to make one, it can become especially challenging when couples move in together. Once the excitement of the new love, flirty romance, and joy of packing, moving, and unpacking boxes ends, you're periodically forced to resurrect the spiciness that brought you together in the first place. For men, this typically involves a few bedroom romps to make them feel like a new man. For women, we crave adventure and spontaneity (although, we also can enjoy feeling intimate with our partners).

Eventually, women become notorious for being the ones to turn down their man claiming they're just not in the mood. Many times they'd rather cuddle, talk, or spend time bonding over a new activity. But us women also know that there are only so many times we can deny an evening of lovemaking, and there are certain times when it is downright critical to give in to the desires of your man.

If you're in a long-term relationship (or are entering a new one), we're about to give you a rundown of when it's absolutely necessary to give it up for your man.

15 Immediately After You Let A Squeaker Slip Out

Women desperately try to keep up the illusion that we don't toot or p**p, even after we move in with our beau's. We'll endure the cramps and the sweats all to save our loving partner the agony of having to overhear a squeak or catch a sniff of something we've concealed for days. It's devastating for anyone who is in a young relationship, so when it happens, you gotta act fast. Get his mind off the fact that you're a real human being and start doing things to him that prove that you're, in fact, Wonder Woman (and not an average, gaseous garbage chick). If you bust out the big guns, he'll quickly forget about your flapping cheeks and he'll pass out with images of your crazy moves in his mind.

14 When You Just Spent Your Share Of Rent At Sephora

As much as ladies all hate to admit it, we do love to shop. Whether we're taking our pay cheques and hitting up the organic grocery store or spending it all on makeup, we can't help but be drawn to those POS machines, fluorescent lights, and colourful shopping bags. While some of us are able to keep our funds in check, many tend to spend more than we budgeted for, especially when it comes to Sephora. When couples finally take the next step in the relationship and decide to move in together, that's when our little secret becomes all too obvious to our partners. When you slip up and forget that rent was due when you bought that new primer and dry shampoo, that's when you ask for a little help as you unbutton his jeans.

13 After You've Let PMS Ruin A Night Out With His Friends

PMS is an ugly mistress and some women can't suppress the evil b*tch that surfaces for a few days in her cycle. If your moodiness has you constantly sighing and arguing with his pals when he invites you out to his monthly poker night, it may be time to apologize with something that his friends would envy and - even though they were peeved about it - could forgive as easily as your man did. Don't let the fact that you're a woman (which naturally comes with side effects) ruin a good relationship. Instead, remind him that you're a completely sane chick for forty weeks out of the year and one who gives him what he wants… in bed.

12 After He Questions Why A Male “Friend” Keeps Commenting On Your Insta Selfies

If there's anything a man hates more, it's knowing that his girlfriend is being ogled by other men. The worst part of it happening online is the fact that there's not much he can do to stop it. You're gonna post your selfies and other men are gonna see it. He can't ask you to stop posting or block the admirer, so all he can do is silently fester until your request to know what's wrong erupts in a spew of jealousy, to which you have to reassure him that those comments (and that user) mean nothing to you. But since you always heart your admirer's comments, your reassurance is going to need some help. Convince your man that your literal heart (and not your Insta heart) is what matters by treating him to something he's only ever fantasized about.

11 To Thank Him For Buying You Jewellery And/Or Proposing

When a man spends time to save for, select, and spend money on a ring or diamond-laced necklace just for you, that's a moment to respect (and reward) the heck out of him. Whether you liked that emerald-lined brooch or not, you can tell it was expensive and your man is looking to you for a reaction to fill him with pride and assurance that his expense was well worth the price. While he's likely doing it to make you happy (and even him, if his gesture was accompanied by an engagement ring), he's probably hoping that it will also let him to make a special request in the bedroom, to which you will always respond with, 'Yes'.

10 After He Cleans The Whole House AND Makes You Dinner

While relationships are built on compromise and shared responsibilities (especially if you live together), there's something to be admired when one partner takes the lead to do all the chores and meal prep and let the other one relax. When your boyfriend or hubby surprises you to a night free of dishes, laundry, and cooking, that's a moment to cherish, and one that urges you to fill all that extra time with something fun and relaxing for the both of you. Since he was so generous in helping you destress and empty your mind of to-do's, it's only fair that you treat him to a little dessert. He'll know just how much you appreciate his gesture if your dessert of choice just happens to be his all-time favourite dish.

9 When He Catches You Flirting With Your Uber Driver

It's not a big deal when you catch a ride with a male Uber driver - after all, you couldn't have planned for that - but when you kick up your friendliness a little too much with one who is noticeably attractive, it's gonna make your man hella jealous and want to whizz on you just to claim his territory. There's no getting around this one. You've played with fire and you've burned your man, so it's time to make him feel like he's still your number one with a little game called “Nothing Is Off Limits”. He'll get a sense for how much he means to you, and will learn to turn the other cheek the next time you chat up the driver.

8 There's No Excuse When It's His Birthday

Unfortunately for girlfriends, wives, and boyfriends worldwide, there's no getting out of being intimate when it's your partner's birthday. Anything goes on this one day out of the year and there's (mostly) nothing we can say or do to stop it. This duty is especially necessary if you're broke and can't afford a gift, which means you have to step up to the plate and make sure he forgets all about that video game he wanted and have him making an annual request for what you did on his birthday back in 2014. Men are pretty predictable, so if there's anything you can do to keep him happy, it's planning for one epic night to celebrate him in all his glory (and lets him rock his birthday suit).

7 On Any Day He Gets Fired Or Quits His Job

When it comes to big things in his life, like his career or his car, he's going to get pretty sensitive when these things get shat on. Since men are designed to want to bring home the bacon and work towards achieving power and privilege, getting fired can seriously kick him in the metaphorical nads. Even if he decides it's the right choice to leave on his own terms, it can still hurt his ego to know that he can't treat you to dinner or has to ask you to fill his gas tank once in awhile. This tough transition in his life can be pretty depressing for some men, so it's a good idea to make him feel like he's still got a lot to contribute, making him feel like the man he wants to be!

6 When You Want To Take His Mind Off Of Your Hottie Friend He Just Met

For years you've referenced your friend Lexie from college to your boyfriend and frequently go out with her on girls' nights and meet up for brunch on a monthly basis. While this gal is a pretty permanent fixture and influence in your life, you've very conveniently never introduced your man to her because, well, she could pass for a Playboy model and you don't want those kind of thoughts to linger in your man's mind at night. Eventually, after these two important people in your life meet, the elephant in the room becomes obvious; your man is crushing. Even though you know he will never cheat, you need to let him know that thoughts of your bestie ought to be squashed. The best way to do that is to make him believe you're fit for Playboy, quickly making your friend become an afterthought.

5 When You Come Back Home After A Long Work Trip

After you've been absent from your man's life for longer than a few days, he'll be itching to see you the moment you arrive back home. All that separation totally made his heart (and member) grow fonder, and you're not entirely upset about it, either. You're just as eager to show him how much you've missed him by way of taking him on a trip to Pleasure Town, even though you've just got back into the city. Since he's abstained from making love throughout the duration of your absence, it's the best time to show him what he's been missing and make him never want to let you go again. The best kind of hookups are the ones you have to wait for, whether it's because of a fight or a business trip.

4 After He's Given You A Foot Massage For The Third Time That Week

Some boyfriends are just so darned generous! Between buying you flowers and running you bath's, some even go as far as to pamper your tootsies to a little rub down. Whether they're doing these small but kind gestures out of love or in hopes of getting something in return, there's no denying that he'll deserve a little TLC after doting on you and catering to your needs. In any relationship, partners have to give and take and make each other feel desired and appreciated. This is why you gotta get down and dirty once in awhile to make it clear just how much you treasure those loving gestures (and to encourage him to keep 'em coming).

3 When Your Friend Casually References A Secret He Told You In Confidence

It's no surprise that women talk about intimate details of their relationship. Between discussing "member's" size and frequency of hookups, secrets between oversharing women rarely exist. So when men want things kept on the DL (like if his brother is in rehab or he's got a weird lump on his butt cheek), he'll mention the fact that he doesn't want you squealing to your friends about it. Even though you promise to keep that to yourself, you can't help but bring it up over sangria and the third episode of Grace & Frankie, asking your pal to keep her lips sealed. But when she speaks up to your man about how her aunt's coworker is also in rehab and how the two of them should talk, that's a time to quickly grab the Kama Sutra and your man to apologize and (hopefully) make him forget about your broken promise.

2 After You've Realized You've Been Complaining Too Much And He's Getting Fed Up

It's never fun when you come to terms with the fact that you're being a Debbie Downer, but there's always time to change and redeem yourself. When your remarks about it being too (hot/cold) are being wasted on a fed up boyfriend, it's time to get a clue and start making up for your constant negativity. Wear your brightest smile and a chipper attitude and help your man perk up again and realize you're not a constant cranky pants. With enough, er, persuading, we're sure he'll forgive the fact that you shot down every restaurant he suggested going to because of a mild complaint. He might even forgive you for complaining about his poor attempt at making coffee.

1 When You're Bored, Broke, And/Or Want Something

When life gets stagnant and you're just not up for binging another episode Bones or Ozark, it might be a good time to spice things up in the bedroom, distract yourself from boredom, and try something new and exciting. It's also worth giving into your man's desires when you're too poor to hit up happy hour or grab a seasonal latte from Starbucks. If your efforts are not half-a**ed, then they might be rewarded with a decent meal. We're not advocating for sleeping with men to get what you want, but we're also not denying the fact that men feel hella generous when their darkest fantasies are fulfilled. So if you're hoping your man will cover the tab at the pub, better get sharpening those bedroom skills, ladies!
