Converception (n.)
Any discussion during which one or both partners
somehow manage to talk themselves, the other party, or each other, out of having
sex.
A typical converception might go something like
this:
“Let's get an early night
tonight, I fancy a bit of slap and
tickle.”
“Yes, that sounds
great. Oh, wait a minute, there was something I wanted to watch on TV that
doesn't finish until
late.”
“Actually, now you
come to mention it, I do feel rather tired and should probably get some
sleep.”
“Alright then, why
don't we do that
instead?”
“OK, I
will.”
“OK.”
If
such exchanges are common in the relationship then they may subsequently be
followed by one or both partners seriously questioning their own sanity,
increasing levels of sexual frustration, and potentially marriage guidance
counselling, infidelity and/or break up of the relationship. Less regular
occurrences may be treated with copious amounts of loving care, sex, or by
selling the television and taking up yoga.
