Yep. You read that right. While some may not think sex and Doritos go together, I am about to let you in on a little secret. They do. Here’s what I figured out.
It all started a few weeks ago as my husband and I were driving somewhere together ALONE. (Alone??? What’s that? I haven’t experienced that word in a while. . . but that’s for another story). This one time, we were alone, and we were driving. It doesn’t really matter where, except that I have to tell you– those mountains were beautiful!
As we were driving, one of us (not mentioning names) turned to the other and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
The other one (again not mentioning names) responded, “I was just thinking about sex . . . how great it would be to have sex right now. What are YOU thinking about?”
In slight embarrassment, the response was, “Well, I was thinking that I’d really like to open the Doritos now.”
Silence followed.
But not for long. I’m telling you . . . those were the best Doritos I’ve ever eaten.
That’s when I realized that sex and Doritos go together! (Not THAT way . . . gross!)
Now, every time I see Doritos, I think about our conversation. Then I remember that relationships need BOTH! My husband and I need sex and intimacy. We need time alone. We need to feel connected, appreciated, and enjoyed.
And we also need to relax and live in the crunchy, dirty Doritos moments with each other.
They both belong in our conversations and in our thoughts. We can both be sensitive to what the other is thinking and feeling, even if we’re not on the same page at the moment. We’ve got room for sex and Doritos!
