Interesting question.
Personally, I like a little of both.
I also think you need to look at how your husband is wired up by God. Trying to change him into something he is not could be detrimental to sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.
It's OK for the woman to take initiative to show her husband something different that she would like rather than criticize him for something he is not.
My guess would be that most women would enjoy experiencing the gentle, caring, quiet and sensitive side of their husbands (lots of hugs and kisses), rather than the confident caveman approach.  |

I'm a guy so I can't speak from a woman's perspective, but I can say that IME the key to a good marital sex life has to do with variety, i.e. get into a rut, no matter if you're the more reserved silent type or the wild and crazy screaming type, and you'll start to experience boredom eventually.
As we age and come to the realization that sex isn't just about orgasm and the physical sensations, but the more important concepts of openly sharing ourselves with each other physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and the fact that our sex lives are more of a portrait of the state of our marriage, then spouses can feel more free to be honest with each other about trying new things as we grow together.
Sometimes, for me at least, a nice slow love making session over hours with showers, massages, teasing and tickling, and so on, is just what I need, other times an emotionally charged "hot" sexual encounter is what the doctor orders.
I know from talking to my wife, sometimes she just wants to be taken while other times she wants to drive. Variety along with open and honest communication about wants and needs is your friend when it comes to marital sexuality. |
