Thank you for your reply and suggestion.
This is indeed a very unique and unexpected suggestion, and I tried it last night. And it almost worked.
I smelled her hairbrush (a lot) the whole day yesterday whenever I could, and each time I did it I was immediately aroused, my dick would twitch and I'd get erect. The scent was truly intoxicating.
So last night before bed I smelled her hairbrush for a longer period after I brushed my teeth, and I was nice and hard. I climbed into bed, and we started kissing. All good, still hard.
Knowing the effect of the scent of my wife's hair from just smelling her hairbrush, I then suggested we try something different. I asked her to lie face down on the bed, I climbed up on top of her, and started rubbing my still erect dick against her ass while my face was in her hair; nuzzling, smelling and enjoying the soft feel against my face. I was really hard, like old times. We were both so happy (relieved?).
After doing that for about 10 mins or so, I thought I was ready to go further, so we moved to her favourite position, where she rides me. I liked this position too (though my favourite is doggy), as I could just enjoy and admire seeing her hair flying around and falling over my face and chest as she rode me. That was before, of course, all of that was not there now. She put my dick in her, started riding. Initially all was good. But, not having the hair visual and feel, I slowly started to loose my erection and was limp again before she could orgasm, and the whole thing went flat again.
We were both devastated. She was still worked up, so I went down on her and licked her to a small orgasm. She was then an angel, got back face down, and asked me to climb behind her again and do what I was doing earlier. I got hard again with my face in her hair, rubbing my dick against her ass. I tried to insert my dick into her pussy in that position, where I am almost lying on her, with my elbows on the sides to support my weight, but I am not long enough to be able to penetrate. After a few minutes trying, my wife told me to just get back to rubbing my dick against her ass, so I did. And after awhile, I came all over her ass.
It was nice, but felt fake. Both our orgasms were achieved separately, and while the other was having minimal satisfaction.
She went to the bathroom to clean up, I did so with some tissues while remaining in bed, she got back in bed, we didn't say a word, faced away from each other and both eventually fell asleep.
This morning I brought up the wig idea, which was suggested earlier. She was excited and loved the idea. So we are going wig shopping later this afternoon.
Thank you again for your response and suggestion.
