Gross Sh!t

This week, we talked about being gross in front of your partner. More specifically, we debated whether you should “maintain the mystery” or put it all out there. I have never understood this debate, myself: as I always say, I know what the bathroom was built for and what you are doing in there! I find the comfort level of being totally yourself, including completely natural bodily functions, to be very, very sexy.

The topic covered more than just the bathroom, of course. We talked about things that affect you throughout your lifetime, including “the honeymoon presentation/best foot forward,” medical issues, and family history. While not everyone will ever be okay with using the bathroom with the door open, the vulnerability that it takes to share these other things with your partner can be some really scary stuff. That’s why it is a step that many people cannot seem to take. But, in my opinion, it is a necessary milestone that one needs to achieve in order to move forward in this thing we call coupledom. On a more personal note, I thoroughly enjoyed discussing the topic with some of our listeners during the monthly virtual meet and greet. There was some really good conversation on the different viewpoints that each person had. I was especially delighted when one of our listeners shared how much she laughed during the podcast: that made my heart smile big time!
