When my wife and I were first married (she 20, me 24) I bought her a nightgown that was a "medium." I was dumb as a rock about women's sizes. It swam on her, but she wore it. One night after she discarded it after a romp I tried it on while she was asleep. I was drinking a glass of water when she walk in on me. "Why are you wearing my nightie?" I told her the truth which was I liked the feel of the nylon fabric. For many years, I wearing a nightie and also hosiery, was an experience enhancer. I ended up with several nighties for myself that were bought together during one of our many forays into mid-town Manhattan lingerie shopping. It was not until a bra was pulled out of the bottom draw of my dresser by our three year old daughter that "The Talk" ensued.

For a period of time she shunned sex. Also, she told me to NOT buy her anymore nightgowns. She said I was probably thinking how I would look in them; not true. She did mellow after a while. Any decrease in activity is attributable to the numerous medical issues my wife has experienced along with the aging process for both of us.
