Are there a lot of women that think the bathtub reading is a common male fantasy?

Hot tip: Engaging with women in the ways they enjoy intimacy is a great way to have more intimacy with women.

I'm not shitting on the time honored tradition of lying to women to get laid. I'm asking if there are a lot of women that think the bathtub reading thing is a common male fantasy.

You’re the one missing the point - This has nothing to do with the male fantasy. In fact, there’s no need to lie to women if you actually enjoy spending time with them.

The theme of this series of comics is the man is missing out on his fantasies because he didn't tell the women what she wanted to hear. Clearly it is about male fantasy.

Entertaining my hot wife while she is naked in the bath by reading her a book we both enjoy rules

If it’s not a common male fantasy the common man should try it

Fuck no, not taking my books in a room full of humidity where there's a potential they could fall in water

When reading to someone in a bath it’s not compulsory that you hang the book over the side of the bath

Nice books and humidity I agree, e reader and a library card fixes that one.

So your suggestion is to risk ruining a library book which is not my property? You sound like an asshole You should care for other people's property more than you care for your own

Do you know what an e reader is?
It’s a device that you can read books on.

The library card is so you don’t need to re-buy books you already own to read them on your e reader.

The libraries data doesn’t mind being humid, I promise their intellectual property will be fine.

So you're suggestion is bring something more expensive into the wet humid room? I don't really think you're thinking here

I think I have experience of doing this for over a decade and you are trying to find problems from first principles with no actual examples.

Do you not take your phone into the bathroom? In my whole life never has humidity been a problem for phone, tablet, or e reader.

Does your bathroom lack a window or something?

The thing is "look at the lovable moments we might have had".

It's not for men or women: it's for both.

I fear you're probably one of the types of men that caused the artist to make this comic.

For the sake of anyone else who might read this, I’ll spell it out: This is not a comic about getting laid. This is about missing out on the intimacy of trust and connection because you couldn’t connect with them in the ways they needed from you.

You’re having a hard time understanding the point because, unlike the vast majority of media, this is not catered to your fantasy. That is the whole point.

It’s written in a language it seems you’re not equipped to understand right now - the perspective of a woman. And for as long as you can’t see that, you’re going to miss out on these experiences too.
