Love begets compromise. And the expanded and inverted corollary to that is you’re unlikely to get
everything you want if your fantasy is sufficiently elaborate, out of the ordinary, or objectively dirty… which is most of us. So, adjust your expectations and find a way to be happy with what you do get.
How do you be happy with “table scraps” when you want the whole meal? Simply, never fail to appreciate what your partners do for you. I know I don’t. My wife has always been the best, and our understanding and acceptance of each other has only grown over time.
More than simply appreciating, I’ll also add that getting your partner to participate while they get no benefit out of it is going to make them
and you feel like shit when it’s over, no matter how much tension it released. I experienced that and had to start thinking a bit more about how I was approaching things…
Guys with wives, I’ll share a “secret” that works for me. You know what women find sexy? It’s really not a secret. They try to tell us, but it doesn’t always get through our thick skulls…

Guys. That. Clean.
Giving them pleasure in a one-sided sexual exchange is actually pretty easy to accomplish. Do the chores in a detail oriented way. Clean things that haven’t been cleaned in years. Clear out the garage or the basement. Dust the bookshelves. Find the things that have fallen into a blind spot in the hustle of daily life, and make them noticeably cleaner and neater. If your wife is super into organizing, then engage with that, sincerely.
Make it a fantasy you discuss with your partner, that you will clean like a devoted husband if it keeps your wife in diapers. Attend to her needs and worship her like the diapered goddess you believe she is. And then, make a point of reinforcing that association by proactively cleaning even when she isn’t in diapers. Rake leaves. Pick up the kids from school. Take her car for oil changes and inspections. Ultimately, you’ll get more of what you want (even if it falls short of your perfect fantasy), your wife will form a healthy positive association with your diapers or whatever fantasy you’re playing, and you’ll get positive reinforcement to do more around the house… which will snowball into more of the things you both like. When I did this, it felt like I had broken the laws of relationship physics with the reaction I got.
And even if that doesn’t work exactly, it’s a template for how you pile on more of what she wants to grow her association with giving you what you want. Stop short of being manipulative, coercive, or transactional. Actually explain what you want and how you want to do it. She may have her own input over the next few weeks.
The key is to be genuine and authentic about what you do for your partner. It’s never an exchange, but it gives her the tools to guide you in what she wants and to show her appreciation back to you.
