If you have kids that are a bit older, tell them that you’ve both had a very long day and you’re tired so you’re going to go to bed. If you have younger kids, get them into bed at a fairly early hour. Avoid only being intimate very sporadically, like when you take trips or set aside a “date night” once or twice a year. This is not good for a relationship.

Ramp up the softness even further by shaving and moisturizing. We recommend a long-term Bag Balm regimen.

Just be sure that whatever fantasies you decide to play out, you’re comfortable with what you’re doing. Everyone should be happy! You can be nonjudgmental and still say no to a request. These things are not mutually exclusive.
