When I was a newly wed, my wife was shy... instead of "sex" she called it "doing the wash"
Anyhow, I was in th emood one night and woke her up... Honey let's do the wash! She told me she was tired, and to go to sleep... Later that night, feeling guilty, she woke me up ( a good wife doesn't deny her husband...?) She said" Honey wake up, I wanna do the wash, wake up.."
