Getting Your Spouse to Take a Shower Before Sex

I conducted a survey out of ten couples that was anonymous and asked them what some of the common things were that they didn't like about having sex with their spouse. One of the most common things was that their spouse wouldn't take a shower before having sex. The question that many of them asked was how to get their spouse to take a shower before sex.

After confiding in my husband about these issues he told me that me are pretty much programmed to think about sex at least a few times a day but as a woman, I only think about sex every so often. This doesn't mean that I am not interested in sex but that it is not one of the things that are constantly on my mind. One of my hints for my husband to tell him that I want to have sex is that I take a shower and groom myself. My husband also takes a shower right before we have sex since he says that he knows that you can't always smell yourself before someone else can. So how do you get your spouse to take a shower before sex? I can answer this in a few short sentences but I would like to explain it further so that you can talk to them without your spouse feeling embarrassed.

Getting your spouse to take a shower before sex: everything is up for discussion

When you are married you may a solemn vow to always be there for your spouse through thick and then. A married couple should be able to talk about everything openly without the other feeling offended. If your spouse seems to quench at the idea of having discussions about sex you could always tip toe around the subject by saying things like, "I love making love to you but when you get off of work you smell like sweat." This conversation starter lets your spouse know that it isn't them but simply that they work hard and sweat a lot.

Getting your spouse to take a shower before sex: brushing their teeth

Brushing your teeth is very important and doing it before you lay down for bed is one of the most important times to do it. Some couples have said that getting their spouse to brush their teeth before sex is like trying to get a kid to stop using the bathroom in their pants. Getting your spouse to brush his teeth before sex isn't really hard at all. Some people take offense to those that tell them that their breath smells bad but you could simply tell them that you want to know if they want to join you in brushing your teeth since you will be going to bed soon. This puts your spouse on the spot and more than likely they will say yes and join you. Since most couples have sex during the night after the children are a sleep this can be an easy target to accomplish.

Getting your spouse to take a shower before sex: shaving is always a plus

This one is not only geared towards women but also men. Shaving isn't something that many of us like to do but it can be beneficial for both parties while having sex. My husband hates to feel my prickly legs and I hate to feel his prickly face so shaving is something that we both do for each other. If you are having a problem with your spouse not shaving you could always tell them how you feel about it and explain that those prickly little stubs hurt.

One thing that you should keep in mind is that you can't always smell yourself since you are around yourself all the time and your spouse may be too nice to tell you how you smell. Taking a shower is a very important part of our overall hygiene and it may also be important to your spouse.
