Dear Prudence,
After my husband goes to the gym I want him to shower before we have
sex. I have tried to have sex a few times without his showering, but
can't enjoy it because I keep thinking, “Eeew, yuck!” But he’s making me
feel as if I’m being too prissy. I finally came clean (ha!) when he
wanted to have sex the other morning after I had a shower, but before he
showered. He usually goes to the gym at night and doesn't shower before
bed and that was the case on this particular morning. I told him I
really would like it better if he took a shower first. He thought I was
nuts and wouldn't take a shower or have sex and told me that this is a
hang-up I should overcome. What do you think?
