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,
, but not in the same way it has helped most other people. I came from a foreign country and learned how to read English from your articles. Your true-to-life writing is easy to follow. You don’t use big words like many other writers. I hope you will accept a suggestion from me because I see the world through the eyes of a newcomer. I happen to know your column appears in many foreign cities because I have seen it in my travels to Tokyo, Bang-kok, Hong Kong, Mexico City and Caracas. Would you please not publish letters about teen-age girls getting with child, married women who have love affairs with the boss, husbands who ask their wives to wear black stockings to bed and other things that make Americans look immoral and crazy? Thank you very much. YOUR GOOD FRIEND
