K, Your other pursuit tactics seem to be yielding fruit (ILY's) so I'd be inclined to give it a try.
I know it would work for me, that's for sure!
My H told me about a year ago that thongs and lingerie, etc, don't do anything for him and he sees them as just another piece of clothing. Maybe I need to cut him off and threaten to leave to get him thinking that..hmm..there might be something sexy about her in a thong after all!
He sees me all the time in sexy panties and the most I got was a "you look skinny!" this past weekend. I took it as the sexual compliment that (I think) it was.
So my vote is Hell yes!!!!!!!
Try it and see what happens. If the response yields fruit, rinse and repeat. Wait. I'm getting my metaphors mixed up. See what happens when I imagine a strong manly man salivating over sexy panties..I get all flustered and tongue tied.
