Not a bad way to broach a more accepting and friendly dialog. I've done the same in the form of hints and self-deprecating humor on the topic, which indirectly reminded her that I'm interested. I even remind her that she looks great and sexy.
But I don't expect that to lead to better intimacy, and it hasn't.
Going to be blunt here, you didn't do the same thing. I was direct but not confrontational.
Subtle doesn't work. Hint's don't work, they backfire. It's like saying someone should 'know' what you want without you telling them. In the end that just upset both parties.
It's DB 101 man...TRY something different. You WANT sex with your wife and what you have been doing hasn't been working.
