Key Points:
- A 38-year-old woman shares that her husband's cross-dressing fetish, including frequent lingerie use during sex and fantasies involving other men, has increasingly dominated their sexual relationship over six years, causing her insecurity and discomfort.
- Although she is generally open to his desires and enjoys their sex life, she struggles with always accommodating his preferences and wishes for more variety, especially wanting sex without lingerie sometimes, which rarely happens despite his verbal openness.
- The advice suggests clearly communicating a specific request for lingerie-free sex next time, gently reminding him beforehand, and addressing his response if he refuses, to test whether a balance can be achieved without sacrificing the quality of their intimacy.
- The columnist notes that the husband's fantasies about other men may remain just that—fantasies—and praises his honesty, but emphasizes the wife must consider if she can accept lingerie as a permanent part of their sex life or face difficult decisions ahead.
