Daddywork — A Great Aphrodisiac for Wives
June 13th, 2008 by Laura M. Brotherson
It’s hard to find many things sexier than a daddy who loves his kids. They say men doing housework is a great aphrodisiac for women, but I think “daddywork” is way up there on the list as well. Roses and chocolates and romantic candle-lit dinners have their place for stirring the heart, but it’s hard to beat the feeling that comes from seeing your husband play with the kids, or help them with homework, or teach them something, or tuck them in at night. Now that’s a turn on!
Some men might find it strange that their wives would experience any erotic effect from them being actively engaged with their children, but when women make a point of nurturing sexual feelings towards their spouse, daddywork is a great reservoir from which those feelings can flow.
Prince Daddy
One day I was walking through a quaint arts and crafts fair in a small town when I saw this framed statement that said it all for me. It said, “My prince has come…His name is Daddy!” My prince is a daddy. He’s my kids’ daddy.
I loved the statement because it perfectly captured one of the best things I love about my husband–that he’s a great dad! It wasn’t until later that it dawned on me that the meaning I gave to the statement was probably not what was originally intended, but it works perfectly for me.
Tribute to My Kids’ Daddy
I hope you’ll forgive me for indulging in a personal tribute to my kids’ daddy at this Father’s Day season. If you care to peak, I share some of my favorite daddy photos of my good husband from over the years. He’s not perfect, but he’s perfect for me!
Happy Father’s Day Kevin, and Happy Father’s Day to all you other good daddies out there as well. I know there are many! I see them all around me.

Sorry Laura, I’d like to agree…but my wife couldn’t care less about this in the least. Being a dad to her, is the least you can do as a man since you had NO problem creating the child in the first place.
I get responses like, “what do you want…a cookie?”
I feel for you. I am grateful for the message Laura is sharing.
Before marriage I believed/assumed the husband was probably the cause of divorce. Now, since being married about ten years and reading Laura’s book and website, I can understand how responsible wives can be for divorce.
How much “man bashing” or depicting of husbands as stupid and always beholden to his wife is displayed in radio and TV commercials, sitcoms, etc. Husbands and wifes should be taught to respect, value and appreciate each other’s emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, sexual needs and wants.
From my perspective, I believe our culture can do a lot more to help wives appreciate, understand, and respect their husbands. No one should say “what do you want…a cookie?” or “is that all that you ever think about?” or “men have a one track mind” or “you are so emotional” or “men just want one thing” or “just get over it” or “this is how you fix the problem” or “am I ever good enough.”
We need to build each other up and never tear each other down even in the name of “humor.”
