G'day to all, A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all on the list from me in hot & muggy Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Donna I hope you are well again & are up to the joy & over-indulgence of the season! Lorraine Standfield.

G'day to you all and hope you are all well and happy!!!! I had a great laugh at this and thought I might share it. I give you permission to growl at me if you think its to naughty for the list Donna but thought I would give to a go. Well I must go put my rollers in my hair!! Night All!!! Irene This is an actual extract from a sex education school textbook for girls, printed in the early 60's in the UK, written by a woman! "When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance, your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for his train. But remember to look your best when going to bed. Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to apply face-cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night. When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him. If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it. In all things be led by your husband's wishes; do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy. Should your husband suggest congress then agree humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had. Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent. It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up and apply your night-time face and hair care products. You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes."
