Your wife comes home one day in a huff.
"What's eating you?" you ask, annoyed at how she is slamming the cupboard doors and stamping around the house.
"Do you think I'm still sexy?" she asks, putting her hands on her hips.
"Uh, sure," you say nervously.
"We never have sex anymore," she responds.
"Oh jeez, not this again. Look what do you expect after 20 years together? " you say.
"Other men don't find me attractive either," she sniffs, holding back tears.
"Well, I'm sure they do..." you respond, not liking where this is going.
"I was out with my girlfriend Samantha today and these men approached us and asked her if she would ever consider exotic dancing," says your wife angrily. "I mean, they were serious. They work at a gentleman's club and they actually offered her a job."
"Well that's not too surprising," you say thinking about Samantha's body.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she snaps back.
"Uh, Samantha's, you know, sort of slutty looking," you say lamely. "Look, what are you so angry about? At least they didn't proposition you."
"That's just the point," she says with exasperation. "Why didn't they ask me?"
"Wait, what? You probably seem too... classy for that sort of thing," you say, confused.
"Classy? Ha!" she pouts. "Old and dumpy is more like it!"
"Are you seriously upset because some guys...DIDN'T make an inappropriate proposal to you today. Are you actually jealous of Samantha?" you ask, amazed.
"Frankly... yes. I am jealous. No one has ever propositioned me like that," she sighs.
You look at your wife in a fresh light. She does still have an excellent body, but she has always been very modest and reserved, maybe even a little nerdy.
"Look, you just don't give off that vibe," you say, struggling for words.
"You mean, I come across as a wallflower. I know it, but I am sick of it," she says angrily. "Samantha just breezily turned them down and casually handed their card to me. I asked her if she was offended but she said that it's happened now and then over the years and she's used to it by now." Your wife holds up a gaudy looking gold and black business card. "You know what? I am going to give these guys a call myself and schedule an audition."
"What?!" you yelp. "You can't be serious!"
"Oh I am serious, see if I don't," she says face flushed with excitement.
"But you are a married woman!" you say, shocked at this turn of events.
"That's true," she says pausing. "I suppose you would be jealous?" she asks.
"Well, yes, of course. I mean..." you are at a loss for words.
"Well what if I just did one audition?" she asks hopefully. "Please, honey, my self-esteem could really use the boost. I need to prove to myself that I am still desirable. Can't you understand that?"
"Yes, but, umm... you might be setting yourself up for disappointment..." you say hesitantly, not meeting her eyes.
"Ugh, I know. Believe me, I have thought about that," she says pensively. Then she bursts into tears and runs from the room. "I knew you didn't think I was sexy anymore," she cries over her shoulder.
"Oh jesus," you say to yourself as you climb from your chair. "She's really cornered me now." You walk down the hall and are not surprised to find that she has locked the bedroom door and is crying within.
"Honey!" you shout. "I am quite sure that you would pass the audition. You still have an amazing body."
You hear your wife's sobbing lessen. After a minute, she opens the door, sniffling. "But I am so uptight," she says.
"Oh jeez, look how you've turned the tables on me," you say, taking her into your arms. "Do I really have to be the one to convince you to do this?" you ask.
"Yes," she says simply, as you hold her.
"Well, I guess you could have a few drinks before you go down there to loosen up," you say with resignation.
She pulls away from you. "That's true!" she says, brightening. "But you will be jealous if I... you know... let other men... see me like that," she stammers and blushes deeply.
You are surprised by how aroused you suddenly become as she shyly describes showing herself to other men.
"I am willing to swallow my jealousy and let you do this," you say, your cock growing hard at the thought of your wife stripping for other guys. "But just this one time."
"Oh thank you, honey. You don't know how much this means to me," says your wife, giving you a kiss.

On the day of the audition, you wife is beside herself, nervously pacing around the house. She has spent weeks looking at lingerie with her friend Samantha who finds the entire thing quite amusing. Samantha was going to accompany your wife but had to cancel at the last minute. When it's time to leave, she comes rushing into the living room wearing an incredibly short, skin tight dress and thigh-high stockings. You admire her body appreciatively.
"Honey, you have to go with me," says your wife, eyes wide with fear. "I can't do this alone."
"You've got to be kidding me!" you say, stunned.
"This is too nerve wracking, I need you there with me," she wails, teetering awkwardly in the high heels that she isn't used to wearing.
You look at your poor wife standing there hysterical in that sexy outfit, completely ill at ease and you can barely restrain a laugh. "Alright dear, calm down, have a drink and calm your nerves, then I will drive you down there."
* * *
The drinks do calm her nerves somewhat and she is in a bubbly mood when you arrive at the club. It's early afternoon on a Saturday and the club is closed. You and your wife are greeted at the door by one of the managers.
"Hello Mrs. Smith," he asks grinning broadly and looking her body over. "I'm Jim Reaver, we met briefly a few weeks ago I think. And are you... Mr. Smith then?" he asks, giving you a strange look but offering his hand nonetheless.
'Uh, yeah," you say, shaking his hand hesitantly.
"Well, alrighty then. It's a bit odd for a husband to actually be present at the audition," he says as he leads you both inside. "I mean you understand the nature of this sort of audition, don't you?" he asks, looking at you quizzically.
"Honestly, I begged my husband to come along because I was so nervous," laughs your wife. "I have never done anything like this before."
"Of course, that's perfectly fine. That's why we are so interested in you, actually," he says looking at her wolfishly. "That shyness is impossible to find in professionals your age. I just want to make sure your husband understands what we are going to ask you to do and that he agrees to it."
"I guess I know what happens in strip clubs," you say uncomfortably.
He gives you a surprised grin. "Sure, but let me just explain how this audition works."
Your wife smiles at him and listens intently. You don't like the way she is looking at this guy. Does she find him attractive or something?
"See we will ask your wife to get up on stage and dance a little bit. There will be some guys here. Bartenders, bouncers, you know, maybe some other staff members. So this isn't like a private thing." He turns to your wife casually, "We understand that you won't have any routine prepared. We will just offer some suggestions about how to disrobe."
You wife giggles nervously and blushes, unable to meet his eyes. He waggles his eyebrows at you rudely and you just swallow and give him a false smile in return.
"Once your wife has stripped completely naked, we will ask her to dance nude for a little while and show us her... assets," he says lasciviously.
Your wife laughs out loud. "You sound like you are really enjoying this."
He looks her over slowly and says. "I admit that I love my job," he says.
"Ok, yeah. That's great," you say annoyed.
"Anyway, after the stage dance, we will ask you to do some lap dancing," he says.
"Ok," she says, giving you a nervous look. "What does that involve?"
"Well there is some touching of course. That can't be avoided. Some girls like to brush their bare nipples across the client's faces. We will try to act like a typical customer to give you some idea of the groping you can expect," he says giving you a gleeful wink.
"Oh, boy," says you wife, blushing even more furiously. "Are you going to be OK with that, dear?" she asks.
"Well not really, no," you admit, your stomach flipping.
Jim purses his lips. "No? Well we can take her into the VIP room for that part then," he says smoothly.
"Uhh... I don't know," you say.
"The VIP room will be fine," pipes up your wife. "My husband is being a real trooper by accompanying me down here. But I won't make him watch me do a lap dance for another man. That's asking too much."
"Oh, I agree," he says looking at her tits. "Shall we get started?"
