Rewarding

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my wife created a "Points Reward" system for the privilege of sex. 10 points for doing the dishes, 20 for the laundry, etc. How many points do I need before I can have sex with her? 2300. FML

Tell her that the lady down the street will do it for 100 so she had better rethink her bargain.

But wait, by the wife doing that isn't she punishing herself also? if not sex for him then not sex for her, unless..........

Okay, that's just not fair. I don't like the idea of keeping tabs on things, but I suppose it's not totally harmful if done right. She should at least have a reasonable goal... Like, you earn 50 points for tidying the kitchen and 75 for taking out the garbage, and you only have a goal of 100 to reach. Even still. The whole idea is stupid.

No way is there enough information here. I mean, we don't know if there's some tasks that give loads of points, we don't know whether or not the OP has a job, or if he expects his wife to do everything, we don't know what kind of shape he's in. We also don't know if the wife is being unreasonable, if she has a job, or if she's been pushed to this for whatever reason. What the OP needs to do is find out the real reason she's come up with this, and whether or not he's earnt this as punishment for being lazy, or if his wife is just being mean, or somewhere inbetween.

I agree up until a certain extent. it's just not right to get sex from a point system, regardless of the situation. sex is meant to be between two individuals because they want to, not because you did the dishes.

I agree with you, but my point was that she might have reasons for doing this, and if that's true, once the OP realises that then the point system will probably disappear because he'll buck his act up. If that's not true, then he needs to talk to her about why she feels the need to create the system and they can try and work around the problem like a mature couple.

Since sex is now apparently a commodity, use the free market to your advantage: find a supplier with a lower cost. Competition, gotta love it.

I am thinking this is a result of years of picking up after you, leaving your messes around and expect her to be your personal maid. She found a way to get her point across. A huge turn on for women is: don't take her granted!

well, there's always other girls to help out with sex. if you're not that type of guy, resort to watching ****... preferably when shes at home and can hear/see you.

I don't think it should be earned like that. I think it should be earned by being respectful and by being a gentleman. Being some ones slave for sex is basically prostitution married or not.

She's trying to get him to stop being a lazy ass and help her around the house. She's having sex with him, and in return he's sitting on the couch cracking open a 6-pack of beer, while she's scrubbing the dishes. He should earn it. Sex isn't his right just because they're married.

It sounds like something someone might do once to get a point across. I'm assuming she's probably worked out that the 2300 points equals the work she does with no help in a week and its something she's stated because she's so sick of never getting any assistance. Which is utterly understandable. If, however, this is something that she's worked out to be continuous then A, well, that's just completely stupid anyway and B, has she no sex drive of her own? Seriously? I mean, I did a similar thing with my partner and it got the damn point across and now we work very amicably and conscientiously together, however, after about three days I was getting so incredibly sexually frustrated. It would be stupid and detrimental to her own needs to keep up the points system forever!
