From the moment we wake up in the morning, there's nothing we'd love more than to go back to dreamland. Alas, there's work to do, bills to pay, and responsibilities to fulfill. Once we get all that done, we can finally get back to bed... except there's one problem. When it's finally time to sleep, our brain fights us on it! Stop fighting it, and just let us have what our body desperately needs. A Redditor started a thread about how they spend their time when they're trying to fall asleep, and the responses range from random to hilarious.

It is totally fine to ask someone outwardly, "Hey, would you like to have sex?" But after sleeping with someone consistently for months, or maybe even years, you develop other ways of asking someone if they feel like doing the dirty. Just like how some people have a safe word, other people have an 'initiation word.' These are great for when you have kids around, or you're out with friends, or if you just wanna spice things up a little.

If you're looking for ideas, you're in luck. On Reddit, people are sharing how they and their significant other ask for sex without actually saying, "Do you want to have sex?'
