This isn't an issue with the lady in my life now, but I remember how confused I was in a past relationship: when the frequently frigid lady got turned on whenever I came down with something.
It never failed... if I was in bed with a fever, or fighting my own G.I. tract (where we lived, food poisoning was a frequent problem), or whatever, she'd get in bed next to me and want to cuddle, and more. I once woke in a fever with a pounding headache, to find her straddling me with her bare nipples in my face. Another time, with me fighting the flu, I woke to find her stroking my cock and asking me to get inside her. As I shook my head and tried to explain that, lovely as she was, the last thing I felt like doing when I couldn't keep even water down, was doing the horizontal mambo, she put my hand between her legs for emphasis. She was atypically wet and hot.
I suppose I should have started faking illness, and on a regular basis, too.
But leaving that aside... was she just in a world of her own, where a sick partner is a turn-on, or is this something not uncommon? Maybe seeing a normally confident partner reduced to a vulnerable state was the issue here? (She herself had no explanation for her getting hot and bothered, when I was feverish and in danger of heaving.)
Has anyone else had experiences like this?
