Silly - do you get *any* for sure sex ever? Such as birthday or anniversary sex? Or even if you don't, can't you tell her that your one and only wish on your birthday is this? If you can get her to do it once successfully, she will really dig it.

Nope. Nothing is ever certain. And the truth is, occasions and gifts are a lot more important to me than they are to her. I get pretty worked up over surprises and gifts and celebrations, and she's just not that into it. She thinks I'm hard to buy for, and I guess I am--I like weird stuff. One change I've made lately is actually to keep a "wish list" tab on the computer. When I see neat stuff I don't want to buy for myself right now, I add it to the list.
Anyway, I've suggested several times that she forget presents altogether and come to bed wearing a ribbon, but most of the time she hasn't been willing to do that. She laughed and said it was a good idea, but either she was laughing it off or she chickened out when the time came.

The truth, if I'm honest, is that I'm not going to put in that much effort to get a striptease. It's just not that high on my list. If you told me it was going to make a big difference to her, maybe. But not for me.
