Dear Wendyl, For my husband’s 40th birthday, I took him away for the weekend and went to a bit of a trouble to present myself in sexy lingerie and high heels. We had a fantastic time but my problem now is that he wants me to dress up for him every time we have sex. He’s become obsessed with it, and I long for the days when we had a nice simple roll in the hay without all the play-acting. How can I get him to give it a rest? Lisa, Wairarapa

Dear Lisa, Crikey, this is a hard one! It’s almost like you need to reprogramme your highly excitable husband. I take it you don’t mind the dressing up, or you wouldn’t have done it in the first place, so why not suggest it becomes a regular once-a-month thing? Dress it up with a special night, à la the 40th birthday, and then he can throw all his energies, so to speak, into that night. Meanwhile, you can get back to the more comfy sex you were used to, and if he asks for the special treatment, just tell him you don’t want to spoil it for your monthly big night. Hope it works and you and your comfortable underwear can become reacquainted.Wendyl
