Fulfill His Father's Day Fantasy

If your husband or lover is a father, you know it's no easy task to celebrate boomer dads in a meaningful way. With the spread of casual office dress, he certainly doesn't need another tie. This year, take the time to pamper him all day long.

First, let him sleep in as you prepare breakfast treats to be served bedside. Once you're there, stay awhile -- hasn't it been too long since you've enjoyed a morning rendezvous together? Think about what your guy would really like and help him fulfill Dad's Fantasy Day.

Round up his favorite foursome for 18 holes of golf and book the tee time. Or, pack a hearty breakfast and rouse him early to go fishing with his favorite angling companion. (That breakfast in bed can always be swapped for dinner. ...)

For the handyman type, take him to the local big box hardware store. Turn him loose and let him choose his favorite toy. Then when you get back home, volunteer to be the extra pair of hands to help him finish up whatever project he's been working on.

For dinner, he probably doesn't want to go out to a fancy place any more than he wants to put on yet another gift tie. Lay out a set of master grilling tools in the backyard and let your one and only char some animal flesh. After the feeding frenzy, help him to the sofa, hand him the remote and put in the videotape of his choice.

If you have kids at home, plan an evening celebration for after they're asleep. Try to reproduce that special night when you first created the kid who qualified him for Father's Day. What tunes were on the radio? How were you wearing your hair? Complement the nostalgia with a new sexual technique: get hints from the lovemaking traditions of Tantra and the Kama Sutra.

Lastly, if you can't be with him on Father's Day, send him a Love Coupon containing a promise he can't resist.
