"You gotta love charades. And even if you do not, play along with me, will you? It&amp;#039;s not strip poker, which would be more along the theme of this column, but it&amp;#039;s still more laughs than a Brady Bunch reunion show. Do it naked if you want, but just don&amp;#039;t describe it in detail in the comments. And please, guys, don&amp;#039;t leave your phone numbers. As much as many of our female readers are dying to meet &amp;quot;hot foreign boys&amp;quot; who can&amp;#039;t spell, I&amp;#039;m going to have to protect their best interest and send you off to cyber space. In English that means BEHAVE.  Ready to start the charades? First word: It&amp;#039;s the singular form of those things that you clap with. Second word: It&amp;#039;s a synonym for work. Put them together and what do you have? Something I cannot write in Good Housekeeping, but I think you will get the idea.  Take a moment. Got it? Yeah! Give yourselves a hand! Pun intended. I am writing about this little act because many married women complain that sex at night is too tiring. I get it. I&amp;#039;ve been there. But then someone from my BabyCenter column suggested taking matters (or her husband&amp;#039;s matter to be clear) into her own hands in the shower. This little tip, or big tip as the case might be, is not a bad one. It might even be a stroke of genius. I hope I&amp;#039;m not rubbing you the wrong way with my play on words, because sometimes, when there are too many balls in the air (or in the shower as in her example) you just have to have some fun.  Think about it. It&amp;#039;s a quick and relaxing release and boom \u2013 you&amp;#039;ve satisfied your husband and gotten clean all at once. This little maneuver might even keep your sheets fresher a few more days, which means less laundry. You&amp;#039;re saving water and satisfying your husband all at once. You should nominate yourself for the Nobel Prize! Or at least a back scratch. Now I know ye ole happy slappy is not sex. And when you are all in love and mushy gushy, you want an Alleluia style love making session, not a boring version of palm Sunday. But I gotta tell ya, if you are doing it right, your husband will be shouting Amen.  So what do you think? Is it too impersonal, or is this still an exciting form of intimacy? Show of hands, please! (Just wash them first.) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
