05/24/2023 - How does it make you feel when your spouse expresses delight in your body?

Do you feel giddy? Self-conscious? Powerful? Aroused?

This question was inspired by something my wife did last night. She had trimmed things up down there and gave me a great view of the results.

To say I was putty in her hands would be an understatement. I was mesmerized and very aroused. My wife very much enjoyed my state and it made her happy.

She has often expressed to me that her biggest turn on (aside from direct physical stimulation) is me climaxing. Apparently her body causing that reaction arouses her and puts her into overdrive.

I often compliment my husband. I think he feels mostly self-conscious but also appreciates it.

There's delighted and then there's repulsed and then there's in-between caused and regulated by sex drive.
I'm in top shape despite other men my age who have big guts.
My wife notices but not affects her sex desire in any way.

[LovingHimAlways]

There are only a few things that are not present our MB, but this is one of them: my wife has never remarked one way, or another, about my body. No remarks about admiring my member, my weight, my hair, my eyes, etc. Nothing. No admiration, no criticism. She is profuse in saying, "OHHH! That feels good!" and loves what we do together. I am well-endowed (down there), but she has never seemed to notice that, in particular. If I lost four inches over night, I don't think she would notice. She loves who I am, and she tells me that frequently.

I wonder how common this is amongst the women. I am similar to your wife. I don't really say a lot about his physical features. I do let him know how much I am enjoying sex with him.

I think it’s important to compliment my DH. The more I compliment him on his technique, the better he performs and the longer he lasts. And since men have fragile egos, I tell him how much I like his penis.

To clarify, I read the question as actually admiring his looks/physical features. During sex I will tell him how much I love what he does to me {with his d***]. I will tell how how sexy he is to me. He seems to respond much more when he knows that I enjoy what he is doing for me..

[IntimateMoment]

I remember early in our marriage, before I got pregnant, when he seemed thrilled and amazed that his wife had a sexy body. Not that I was ever that great, but it felt good that he thought I was. I hope the future brings them back. I try to help psitively remark about him, but it seems to go unnoticed.

In the moment, I feel uncomfortable, self-conscious... I don't see delight in my body and it's hard to see what he might see. I shut the thought out... It's something I do instead of overthinking what he might mean.

Later, I might think about it and realise/decide it's okay that he expressed that, and it's actually nice that he did.
