Tuesday Tip

Keep the mystery alive.
No matter how close, lovey dovey, kissy, kissy you are, there are some things your partner doesn't have to see. These days the opinion seems to be "you have the right to know". I don't always agree.
Once upon a time it was generally agreed that a man's mother, wife and occasionally sister did none of the following
She didn't break wind, shave (anywhere) or have temperamental times of the month. Those things were reserved for lesser women. Now, the "opposite sex" know all about things with wings, chin waxing, brazillians ("You mean that's not natural darling?") and bowel movements.
Keep the mystery alive. He's not stupid, he knows these things happen but he doesn't have to witness the process. Save the girly stuff for when he's gone to the hardware store or watching a boring rugby game.
Likewise gents, she doesn't have to pull your finger, see you waxing that manly back and bum or painfully tweezing nose hairs. Toe nail clipping in the lounge is a no no, let her think that your toe nails never grow, just like her leg hair.
So when you hear from a man that his lady is natural, never wears makeup, doesn't have to excercise and can eat what she likes well, she is indeed one who keeps the mystery alive.

Great post and I so agree. I real no-no for me is talking to your partner when they are on the toilet. Nothing kills passion as much as that!

I totally agree. I am very prim though so I would. as far as anyone knows I never break wind and I certainly dont have to deal with my bikini line. In fact when I read in a pregnancy mag that you may pass a stool whilst pushing I had nightmares about it. honestly it was my biggest fear.
glad the mystery is alive in your house then
