Do you REALLY think she is shallow enough to want sex as a reward for household chores? Hardly going to make the marriage/relationship last a lifetime.
I only know languages where it's usually negative. In italian double negative is negative ('non ho niente'), in german it can be negative ('kein garnichts'), and in english it's also usually negative ('not eat nothing').

Yes, but that phrase, along with the vast majority of double negatives, is grammatically incorrect, and shows a distinct lack of vocabulary. To not eat nothing does imply that you are eating something. However, To not eat ANYTHING means you are in fact, eating nothing.
I am really, truly fed up with the bastardisation (term used correctly...look it up in the dictionary!) of the English Language.
Personally, the error that upsets me the most is when somebody says "Could of" or "Should of" instead of "Could HAVE" or "should HAVE". I can understand it (slightly) in spoken English because of regional accents etcetera, but there is absolutely NO excuse for it in the written word.
That equation is true only with predefined set of rational numbers. There are much more domains where that equation is not true than there are those where it is true.
When anyone asks me 'can I do...' something, I always tell them they look able bodied enough, and then look expectantly at them, hoping upon hope they have the intelligence to then ask 'may I do...' that thing.
@Bladerunner: In german it's similarly uncommon/disliked.
But, is that specific phrase gramatically incorrect or logically incorrect? Logically two inversions void each other, but strict logics don't always apply to commonly used terms of spoken language.
I know I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but I don't care
So what if she is bored? I get bored plenty (like now) but I don't expect other people to find me something to do. My girlfriend also gets bored (especially when I'm playing LFS or BF2) but doesn't expect me to find something for her to do.
Tell her to occupy her bloody self Worst case scenario, point her to www.i-am-bored.com and put some headphones on
@all the people who suggested sex
What makes you think that doesn't count as a chore?
