A few months ago I made an off-handed remark that was met with surprise, so I'm wondering how the folks here relate to the idea.
If you are in a steady long-term relationship (married, living together, regularly staying-over with each other, etc), do you shower together with your partner? How often? Is it an overtly sexual experience?
My wife and I started showering together not long after we married, over 46 years ago. As life circumstances changed we did it anywhere from about 33% of the time, up to around 90%. In the early years, when we were in our 20's, it was part of the foreplay prelude to sex around 10% of the time, and sex happened in the shower itself around 1% - 2%. (Since we often did our serious lovemaking first thing in the morning, our shower play was much more often part of the afterglow rather than foreplay.)
For the most part, our shower time is more relational than sexual. Yes, the embrace of wet bodies is DEFINITELY a sensual experience, and I invariably grope her curvaceousness with my grubby paws. But being in such close quarters generally gets us talking about things like who will taxi the kids this weekend, how much time we should be spending with aging parents, where we'll get the money for a set of new tires, whether I should apply for a promotion, etc.
