I can see annoyance killing the mood in the short term, but when it becomes a reward/punishment pattern rather than both partners expressing their feelings for one another I think things are all screwed up.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Because books.

Too many tomatoes in my CSA. I may need to make a sauce, or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Miss India's is gorgeous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Whenever I see those Miss Universe costumes, I think of these costumes for Germany: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
SOs flat refusing to do their share of housework brings up all kinds of issues for me. I don't like being treated like a servant, and I don't like being forced to choose between living with their mess or cleaning it up for them. That's a total dealbreaker for me. I am never engaging in that particular power struggle ever again.

OK, this caption for Miss India cracked me up:
If you're gonna be all tasteful and appropriate, Miss India, you might as well stay in your hotel room.
Bitch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like India's costume. I think it's too in the middle. Miss Norway decided to look normal, and I think she looks great.
I'm also partial to Miss Jamaica. Go home team!

I think sex-as-reward also implies that having sex is a chore, and a rather unpleasant one at that: "You do these unpleasant household tasks for me, and in return I'll have sex with you." Which is different from "I'm kind of pissed right now so, no, I don't want to cuddle."
