I guess it is because we have a few HS-age friends of my daughter's who are cheerleaders and I wonder if the fantasy has something to do with that. I told him I can do a French maid getup, a hot nurse, etc., but this cheerleader thing feels wrong to me with these girls around here.

I try hard to appease him and want to allow him to feel comfortable discussing with me. So I will try to arrive at a different fantasy costume we could explore that I would be comfortable with

What could possibly go wrong?

Another DH who had a very common fantasy shot down by my wife, with a "that's weird" attached. Rest assured, I stopped sharing fantasies. I found someone online who has the same reciprocal fantasy so it's a safe outlet although the temptation to meet irl is strong.

Op, I don't think you realize how destructive you are being to your relationship

Why is SHE being destructive? A man has a fantasy, and if his wife doesn't want to comply, so he finds someone online to satisfy him -- and you think DW is destructive??!
You ought to look at it from a different perspective!

Also, sexy lingerie doesn't sound like role playing. As another PP suggested, is there any other role you don't find repulsive?

Story from two years ago...

NP here, and I have nothing against the cheerleader fantasy, but let's be real: when people fantasize about cheerleaders, they are probably not envisioning a 40-year-old.

But that's a nice story and all, if not a clever marketing ploy to attract more female fans who fit the 40-year-old's demographic.

That's right ladies you better do whatever your man wants and never hint that it isn't something you wouldn't enjoy.

Know your role!

See, now that's out in public - that's embarrassing. Once you have kids at home your boobies really should only be shaking around in private..

In that top? Her boobs are strapped down like a mattress on top of a station wagon. Doubt they're doing much shaking at all.

I think she looks gorgeous and she can do what she likes with her body....whether or not she has kids at home.

OP it's really not repulsive what he asked of you. If it makes you feel better get one that's clearly from a college and pretend you are a Senior about to graduate. Maybe he could pretend to be the genius professor or something. Sounds fun!

You are not being a good sexual partner. "Cheerleader"" is the mildest, most vanilla fantasy around.

Name some others, please.

Vanilla fantasies:

1. Professor/student
2. Watching
3. Being watched
4. Call girl and client
5. Boss and employee
6. Fireman or cop and whoever
7. Stripper and audience member
8. Light bondage
9. Blindfolds
10. Being dominated
