Is this so wrong?

Just about to get off to work ,don't know whether to feel guilty or pleased with myself.wife comes in from work around five,so I have made chicken salad with the "trimmings " so to speak.the female contingent may think "nice and thoughtful",the male contingent will probably say "cunning little !!!!!!".i do these things in all honesty to encourage "bedroom gymnastics".
1) is this wrong?
2)is this forward thinking ?
3)is this being kind and thoughtful?
4)or should I be honest with myself and admit to being a "cunning,devious,soul who should be damned ?

I reckon it's off to hell for me in the afterlife.

Ps. I should have got flowers ,they always do the trick lol

    While you should be expecting to make a fair contribution to the running of the household, you meeting that responsibility is bound to make her feel more in the mood.

    Fwiw though, a salad would be nicer fresh...

    I don't understand your question. You've made a chicken salad for you and your wife for dinner tonight.

    ... why would that be wrong?

    I don't think it's wrong.
    I think it's kind and thoughtful. I find kind and thoughtful from Mr Imp to be a good 'encouragement' :o

    I think you are a horrible, nasty little man. How dare you make chicken salad for your wife!!!
  • I'd have said it was practical :) Certainly if the husbeast wants me to bounce up and down on him there's much more chance of it happening if I'm not shattered from a day at work plus an evening of housework and/or cooking!

    Just as long as you accept it gracefully if she's still not up for it rather than whingeing or sulking ;)
    If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...

    If you do something nice for someone you should not expect anything in return.

    What makes you think you're manipulating her by doing chores to earn sex?
    She may be manipulating you when she uses sex to reward good behaviour :D

    Whatever the reason or incentive, hope you both enjoy the salad and the "afters".:)
