 DinnerBathOrSexOffer
 
comment
 A character, usually a housewife but almost Always Female, offers her partner three choices; traditionally, it's either meal, bath or sex. Downplayed examples may ignore the offer of sex, while Exaggerated examples may offer multiple partners, or show up in a Naked Apron.
As this trope has its basis in an old Japanese customnote its name in Japan is "shinkon santaku", roughly meaning "newlywed's three choices" (which is likely to get parodied nowadays), this trope is fairly common in hentai and Ecchi, particularly Rom Coms and Harem Genre anime. In modern comedies the protagonist will often either choose one of the options that isn't sex or ignore the question entirely; it's not uncommon for the person being asked the question to not reciprocate the girl's feelings at all. Alternately, in a raunchier sort of comedy they may choose all three at the same time.
Merely making the offer implies the submissive/dominant roles of the relationship between the characters, because the submissive is ready for "anything" asked of them. In exaggerated or parodic examples, the third option may be Punctuated! For! Emphasis! in a suggestive and often sing-song way. Only giving one option doesn't qualify, unless it's a Morton's Fork where each option leads to the same result. Another part of this trope is that it is also often practiced by Insatiable Newlyweds or Sickeningly Sweethearts, and played for maximum glurge that ends up giving their colleagues and acquaintances cuteness overloads and/or jealousy.

 Strike the Blood: Subverted. While Kojou Akatsuki is aboard another vampire lord's boat. Several bikini-clad women introduce themselves as maids and offer to wash his back. When he refuses, they offer to wash his front, which he refuses even harder. He questions whether they actually are maids, and they reveal the subversion: they're political hostages from foreign lands, trying to seduce him so that they'd become pregnant with the child of the most powerful vampire in the world, which would guarantee them political status.

 The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Subverted by Misaki in the first episode as she offers Sorata dinner, bath, or.... underwear. note The word is "ma-wa-shi" — a sumo wrestler's loincloth — an intentional corruption of "Watashi" ("Me"). She also tries "tawashi", a scrubbing brush — Sorata implores her to get to the "Watashi" part already.

 Overlord (2012): Albedo pulls this on Ainz (clearly hoping for the third one), before realizing she forgot to do so wearing only an apron and begs for Ainz' forgiveness. As Ainz is a walking skeleton and thus incapable of reciprocating, it makes no difference to him either way. The fact that he unintentionally rewrote her settings to be this way towards him is also a factor in his not wanting to take advantage of her.

 Eternal Sonata: A Downplayed trope in the bonus dungeon "Mysterious Unison". There is a soul orb called Mute who offers your party the choice of a shower first, or if you want to eat. If you choose Shower and have enough Gold, your party is healed. If you choose Eat and have the max amount of Gold of 99,999,999, then your party is granted a Soul Shard item, one of seven found in the dungeon.

The response (she imagined) was "I'll have YOU for dinner IN the bath, Miia!", and we get a shot of him doing her on the bathtub still wearing her apron while he's still wearing his Salary Man uniform.

 In Beastars, Louis makes light of Legoshi eating his leg earlier while recovering in the hospital by offering him three choices; two types of food, and the third option being 'me'. The line could be read either way, as a Double Entendre or a tease about Legoshi's predation.

While the catgirls are sharing stories during a storm. Vanilla tells an expansion of the story Chocola told about them living together in a gingerbread house with the latter receiving this offer from the former upon returning home from work.
A flashback of Shigure's Big Brother Attraction shows her giving Kashou this offer. He chooses "bath." She tries to join him but gets thrown out almost comically.
