A recurring suggestion among romance-advice writers is that partners should shower together. Is this really a good idea? When I'm in the shower, I have a very clear agenda. I want to get clean, wash my hair, and shave my armpits. This is not a team effort. What I don't want is to worry about how I look (even though I look pretty darn good under water). I don't want to wait for my turn to use the soap, and I really don't want to stand there shivering while my sweetheart stands between me and the flow of hot water. The shower in my bathroom is a rather narrow space which would make it complicated for two people to maneuver around each other. Yes, I know, getting close is the idea. Even so....
