Dear Ann Landers,
ou printed a letter from a woman who had showered, brushed her hair, put on a pretty nightie, dabbed perfume all over and waited in vain for her husband to make a move. When he did nothing, she said, "It was humiliating for me to ask him to make love to me, but I did. He told me he was tired and rolled over and went to sleep." I have a suggestion for that woman and all others with the same problem. When a man says he is too tired, be sympathetic. Say, "I know you are, dear. Lie on your stomach and let me give you a nice re-laxing massage ..." Get some cream or lotion-any kind will do-and give him a wonderfully loving back rub, working your fingers up and down his spine, onto his shoulders and neck, using a circular motion. The quality and variety of the massage is limited only by your imagi-nation. Chances are very good that the back rub will make him realize he wasn't as tired as he thought. A woman who wants love sometimes needs to be aggressive. She should not wait until her husband comes to her. So, I say to you wives out there, it is high time you got busy and made an effort to get what you want, need and is rightfully yours. -Successful in Ore.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, the whole building shakes. He pops his chewing gum and cracks his knuckles. Last week he took off his shoes and cracked his toes. When he talks to me on the intercom, he breathes so hard between sentences I want to scream. Sometimes he coughs and wheezes-all this with a cigar clenched between his teeth so his words are barely in-telligible. Some days when he is extremely busy, he will tell me not to put through any calls. Later in the day, when I give him a list of the callers, he gets mad and yells, “Why didn’t you put Mr. X. and Mrs. R. through? You should have known those calls were important!” So in addition to having the patience of a saint, I am expected to be a mind reader. Any suggestions? -Only Human and That’s Not Enough
