I have a little secret: I can’t seem to part ways with my trusty BOB—my Battery Operated Boyfriend, for those who aren’t in the know. Despite my best intentions to step back from this guilty pleasure, I find it hard to resist. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about finding pleasure on my own terms, without the need for a planned Date Night, the fear of interruptions from my kids, or the obligatory act of pretending to be engaged with my husband after a long day filled with laundry and chores.
Sometimes, the best way to recharge is to indulge in a solo adventure. I don’t have to navigate the complexities of ensuring my husband and I both have our moments of intimacy. There are no hurt feelings when the demands of parenting leave us both too tired for romance. It’s just me, a spark of desire, and BOB.
This experience is often quick and uncomplicated, offering immediate stress relief. For those of us juggling the chaos of motherhood, isn’t that a far better treat than chocolate or wine? My husband, mostly, understands this. He knows that as an independent woman, I am capable of taking care of my needs even when the challenges of parenting leave little room for intimacy.
I sometimes wonder if he realizes just how much more action BOB gets compared to him. While I’m not about to share that detail anytime soon, this little secret has been a lifesaver for my sanity. Of course, a part of me longs for the day when the demands of parenthood ease up, allowing me to truly enjoy my husband’s company. But for now, as we navigate the ups and downs of family life, I’ll continue to rely on BOB to meet my basic needs for pleasure. Otherwise, I fear I’d become just a machine, focused solely on chores like laundry and meal prep.
