This sounds like a wonderful idea.

Not offended at all. I agree with Scherezade as proto-feminist. And
besides, we wear push-ups now.
As for reading in bed with one's mate, it is a wonderful thing. I've
shared a few tales in my life, and even when the story wasn't my
favorite, the experience was still worth it. So tender and intimate.
When I was the one doing the reading though, I always felt like I was
slaughtering it, so maybe it wasn't such a nice experience for him.
Oh well. I guess I'll have to practice. 8)
