Just a quick check-in to keep everyone on their game. This is a combo shit/comfort test. I figure occasional examples might be helpful to others.

I'm always physically escalating when around the wife. The other day she was talking with me and I was getting close and grabbing some butt when she says: "Can you just talk to me sometimes without groping me?" or something like that. I looked her in the eyes, and with a sincere look said "Yes, I can do that sometimes. See, I'm doing it right now." She says "thank you" in a little bit huffy tone. Then, once she thinks she's got this one in the bag I say. "I can do this at least 10% of the time." Then she rolls her eyes, at which point I continue to negotiate with myself. "What do you want, 50/50?" She says "ok", then I say "well, the best I can do is 40/70". She breaks frame and laughs. I give her a nice kiss, tell her I love her, and her body posture shifts back to normal. Then as I turn to exit the room give her an epic ass slap. "Welp, guess I can't...next time don't be so sexy." And walk out, looking back with a smirk to see her face flushed.

I'm guessing a lot of guys as they progress get similar responses to increased physicality.
