A BJ as Reward
Posted by Mr. Thoughtful on April 21, 2008
I discovered some funny stuff about wedding rings and other jewelry from Rachel Lucas, parts of which reminded me of my post several weeks ago about how much should one spend on an engagement ring. She has several entertaining stories and some interesting thoughts on the subject, so I recommend going to her site to read the entire piece, but here is just one:
Had another coworker named Lisa when I was about 25. She was dating Mark for three years when he bought her a Valentine’s Day gift that was a diamond tennis bracelet. She told me one morning, all giggly and embarrassed, that the night he gave it to her, she was so moved with delight that she gave him the first, uh, what rhymes with joe blob, of their relationship. And then she said, “I hope he didn’t get used to it ‘cuz that’s only happening whenever he gives me jewelry.” Spoken like a true hooker.

Sadly, it seems to be common that women reward their boyfriends/husbands in this way. Well, I don’t mean it’s sad to have it done, but it’s sad that it’s used as a reward. It reminds you of treat training dogs. When the dog has done something you like, you give him a treat so he’ll keep doing that thing that you like.
And conversely, if he does something you don’t like, you say the word “no” sharply to him (or in some versions you hit him on the head with a rolled-up newspaper). Guys who have ever been married or even had a long-term relationship with a woman will recognize the corollary to this as well: if you do something she doesn’t like, she will yell at you, or make nasty comments to you, or ostentatiously give you the silent treatment, slam doors, etc.
