As for initiation, I would love to have her whisper that she wants to ML, or grope me beyond the "joke threshold". Hinting about it hours in advance would be really cool too. It's not too complicated. I guess I still want a little bit of validation that she thinks I'm a sexy guy and that she actually feels horniness sometimes and offer it out of the blue.
Regarding your oil, I must say that the biggest hit in our bedroom is the Kama Sutra Can O' Earthly Delights which has a variety of oils and creams that warm, cool, scintillate etc. along with honey-powder and a feather duster. We both really enjoy playing with this stuff and the oils heat up by rubbing your hands together.
A note about the oil, I bet you could store a small botttle of oil in (real) thermos filled with hot water. Heck, you could put the hot water in it in the morning and it would still be hot at night. Just an idea.
What's funny is all of the paraphernalia we are accumulating in our night stands.
