Let’s be real for a moment: I have a little secret, and it goes by the name of BOB—my Battery Operated Boyfriend. No matter how hard I try to step away from this guilty pleasure, I just can’t seem to do it. There’s something undeniably pleasurable about finding satisfaction without the need for a Date Night, worrying about interruptions from the kids, or pretending to be interested in my husband after a long day filled with chores like laundry and dishes.
Sometimes, the antidote to my exhaustion is a solo session. There’s no need to navigate the complexities of making sure my husband is satisfied while I am too. There are no hurt feelings when my fatigue turns down any romantic advances. It’s all about me, a hint of desire, and BOB.
It’s quick, it’s efficient, and it’s often a straightforward way to relieve stress. For any overwhelmed parent, isn’t that a much better option than indulging in chocolate or pouring a glass of wine?
My husband is somewhat understanding. He recognizes that as a mature woman, I can take charge of my own needs, especially when the demands of parenthood can drain our energy and desires by day’s end. I know he has a stash of glossy magazines tucked away in the garage, and he’s aware that I have my trusty BOB hidden in my dresser drawer.
I sometimes wonder if he keeps track of how much more action BOB gets compared to him. While I’m not ready to reveal anytime soon that BOB has had more of my attention in the last six months than he has, I can say this secret habit has worked wonders for my ability to unwind.
Part of me longs for the day when parenting won’t feel so draining, allowing me to connect with my husband again. But for now, as we navigate the chaotic world of parenthood, I’m sticking with BOB as my go-to source of pleasure. Otherwise, I might just turn into a robot, solely focused on cleaning up and preparing meals.
