Mystique, She Says. Ice Queen, He Thinks

Dear Suze Q. In my 13 year marriage, I’ve never undressed in front of my husband. It keeps our romance alive! There’s nothing attractive about bending over getting into nightwear. No wonder there are so many affairs! My husband’s never seen me in the tub, shave my legs, or God forbid, sit on the loo! My friends say I’m a prude, but I believe marriage need mystique! What do you think? 

Dear Mystique. I think you’ve mistaken Victorian way-out-of-date demure mystique and straight-jacketed sexual practices with today’s flirtatious, go-for-whatever-feels-good-for-both-of-you morality. Nothing attractive about bending over? 🤫 shhh -don’t tell those that make their living doing just that, -or those who do it with their partners just for fun. And as to why so many people have affairs, don’t check your marriage too closely, or the underlying reasons why, as yet, you still don’t know and love your own body. -SQ
