			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An unintended consequence of finding a Swede and sticking to him, is having a monogamous relationship.  The Swede I met in the US, Porbjorn, has decided we should stick together.  Adorable, very endearing, shy, he is a perfect a little Swedish specimen.  The problem now arises that I can no longer flirt with the Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, or any boy that crosses my path.  I told him it was in the name of research, for all woman out there looking for some enlightenment on the Swedish man.  His response: &#8220;pfft.&#8221;  We argued and argued and I gave in, realizing the blog fodder will eventually center around him.  I kept quiet and smirked.  What could be more fun than the exploits of your sweetpie?</p>
<p>So now, I present the Swedish specimen, Porbjorn. =)</p>
<p><strong>What to know about the Swede, part 1:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Housewife&#8230;househusband. </strong>If you tell him to go do the dishes, he goes.  No arguing, no whining, it is equality in the house.  Same for laundry and other household matters.</p>
<p><strong>Hold my hand. </strong>I&#8217;m not for holding hands while I sleep. It is too encroaching.  The first few times Porbjorn held my hand, I was annoyed, really annoyed. I got used to it and now, I look for his hand at night.</p>
<p><strong>Cuddling. </strong> He said cuddling is a really important part of sex.  He finds it amusingly stupid that American men &#8216;turn around&#8217; and try to ignore the women talking after sex.  He believes cuddling is the solution, &#8220;why not cuddle after some strenuous activities?&#8221;  Don&#8217;t think I would hear an American man say that.</p>
<p><strong>The Ex factor.</strong>  Porbjorn and I went to chic restaurant in the city and ended up on what many women consider the worst conversation topic ever: the ex.  Strangely, it was not horrible. I asked and he openly answered everything.  Why women fear learning about an ex (especially a long term one) and men cringe at answering questions is beyond my comprehension.  So be prepared to learn about the ex and don&#8217;t fear it.</p>
<p>More to come about those funny Swedes!</p>
