Today's sex chat quickie comes from friend of the podcast, Julie Seibert.

Hi, this is Julie Seibert with intimacy and marriage.com. Today I want to give you a quick

tip that can help you feel more secure in your lovemaking. What is it? Taking a shower.

Let me explain this from a couple of angles, no pun intended. First,

showering with your spouse before lovemaking can be a great form of foreplay. It's a great

opportunity to touch each other, kiss, and see each other naked, all of which set a beautiful

stage for continuing the fun once you crawl beneath the sheets. It can be relaxing,

literally and figuratively to wash away

the day so that you can give your full focus to each other. Now, if you aren't into showering together

before lovemaking, I still see value in you each showering individually. When we feel physically clean,

our inhibitions lower tremendously. Plain and simple, we aren't concerned about body odor or the

day's sweat and grime, ours or our spouses. Now, some people would say to me, why would I want to

shower before sex, only to then get all hot and sweaty during sex? My answer, fly through the shower

again. Seriously, if you feel a bit hot and sweaty after sex,

simply rinse off again and crawl into bed next to your lover. Don't dismiss the power of a shower

when it comes to freeing you from inhibitions during sex. You might even find yourself saying with

happy exclamation, rinse and repeat. You can find more fantastic sex advice from Julie in her book Pursuit of Passion

and on her site at intimacy in marriage.com.
