Hi, it's Jay Parker with today's sex chat quickie. Paying bills, spielunking. Congress is in session.

Chitty, chitty, bang, bang. Believe it or not, these are all euphemisms couples have used to refer to their sexy time,

and I've heard many more. Coming up with a fun way to refer to your lovemaking

can serve several purposes. One, it becomes a clear signal to initiate sex. If you've decided

your code word is avocados, then unless you're eating avocados all the time, then a wink in that

word cue your spouse into what you have in mind. Two, you can make that bid to your spouse in front of others.

Your kids won't know what you mean if you suggest at the dinner table that your husband pick up

avocados next time he's at the store. Some couples even choose phrases that make kids likely to

avoid bothering you later, like grown-ups business meeting or cleaning the closet. But you can use

any well-chosen euphemism at that neighborhood

party you're ready to ditch so you can have a lone time with your hubby, or even the church

potluck when the pie reminds you of what other desserts you could enjoy that day. Third, it gives

you a special connection with an inside joke that only the two of you know. It's a just you and me, babe, thing.

Finally, a great euphemism for sex introduces and enhances playfulness in your sex life.

Whether it's something mundane like moving furniture, or something intentionally funny like

mattress mamba.

There's both humor and flirtation when you use the phrase,

hopefully bringing a smile to both of your faces. God was even a fan of euphemisms for sex.

When you read the book Song of Songs, you'll find a lot of symbolic references to body parts

and lovemaking, especially involving fruit and garden. And you can see how these poetic words

help the husband and wife feel both

connection and delight. Is this something my husband and I do? Well, we don't have a single phrase,
