That's a 10 based on "her hard working man."
Idk what her hard working man is really but I'll assume something.
For me, there are only two things affect my effort/outlay. First, how I feel about myself. I have to feel desirable. I must know how to keep that going and it must be worth the effort.
Motivation for some reason. Doesn't specifically have to be for my partner. It can be my own pride or for a table full of women.
Second, how I feel about my partner (both sexually and non sexually.) My "sexy" feelings for a long term partner are completely tied up in trust and respect. I must feel both.
If I don't trust or respect him then I don't want to fuck him. Simple as that.
Now, tust and respect can be difficult to maintain. I think trust is easier. When it's broken, it comes back quicker. Lose respect and you're climbing a mountain.
Quickest way for me to lose respect for a partner (presuming he is a good guy of course) is for me to get the feeling that I'm wearing the pants. I can not wear pants. Don't make me wear pants. Put me in pants and I will despise him. Secretly. On some level.
