Sweetie…it’s your turn for Choreplay

Recently I first heard the delicious new word – choreplay. For those of you not familiar with the term, the urban dictionary describes it as follows:

1. Choreplay: When a woman is turned on by the sight of her husband / boyfriend / partner doing regular household chores, which she would normally be doing. Eg, "Last night, it was all about choreplay. I was all 'OH YEAH, fold that laundry. Oh yes, just like that! In half and, then in half again. OHHH'"

It is apparently the newest way for men to leave a lady swooning. Forget aftershave, good pecs and the latest pair of Tsubi jeans. A scrubbing brush, the faint waft of disinfectant and a nice apron are the hottest male accessories of the moment. In fact, this trend has begun to infiltrate dating sites with in-the-know guys making sure they include domestic abilities in their online resumes.
For example John, 43, likes surfing, mountain bike riding and ... ironing his own shirts...and yours too if you like that sort of thing.
"I’ll let you watch me starch," writes John.
The whole choreplay thing has really gotten me in the mood to talk about sexy domestic duties. Does your hair stand on end when your boy cooks you a meal from scratch? How about when they vacuum? Or empty the dishwasher un-assisted? And let’s not be sexist here. Heaps of men are really in tune with the whole domestic scene these days and perhaps your boy is actually much better than you at taking the garbage out and washing the floors. Perhaps he wishes you would turn on the choreplay a little more often, hmmm?
So. People, snap to it. Choreplay - are you giving any? Or are you gagging for a little pine-o-clean action?

    There's something in this RC. For example, if my boy does the washing up and wipes the bench clean at any point OR vacuums the house without being asked, I immediately want to rip his clothes off.
    Haven't seen him pick up a toilet brush yet, but that's something to look forward to I suppose. :)

    I totally get it...

    From living with my partner and feeling the slow burn of resentment as I wipe down the benchtop/wash dishes/clear up mess he has made while he sits and happily watches tv...I can just imagine how the reverse scenario would have its many rewards!

    Just a tip, you might want him to put down the toliet brush before ripping his clothes off...

    No, no. He never picks UP the toilet brush. So I'm safe. :)

    So that's why a girlfriend of mine used to invite me over to her place to do housework. She thought it was sexy! And here I thought I was just being used.

    the sea:
    I know the feeling. I had flatmates that would wash as many dishes as they could in 30 seconds, and think that was sufficient. So do you think I said anything when they went to use the cat's spoon that I hadn't washed yet? (Yes the cat has his own spoon).

    Pollypringle... why couldn't I have met you! Any time I achieve the same all I seem to muster is an "and about bl**dy time too!" look.

    At least you've confirmed one thing! I needn't waste money on expensive after shave lotions! Oh no, it's eau de White King for me from now on!

    Somebody pass me the toilet brush...

    Simon, before you start splashing White King around willy nilly, consider your better half - do you really want to asphixiate her with your antiseptic scent?
    And as for my boy, housework is just one more excuse for my ripping his clothes off. He's ADORABLE!
    Still no toilet brush action though.
