DOES your partner take so long in the shower you’re convinced they’re having a wank? They’re probably doing these weird things instead. Let’s hope so, anyway.
Cleaning the shower
The obvious time to give the shower a good old scrub is when you’re in it, right? And they certainly seem to give it a real seeing to, because they’ve turned the pressure on the shower head up full and you can hear them grunting from the effort all the way downstairs.
Making ‘hair art’ on the tiles
The only reason they’re in the shower for so long is that they’re making shapes and pictures on the tiles with their own hair. They think it’s ‘fun’, but it makes you want to heave because it’s gross. But it’s clearly not wanking. Although why are so many of those hairs short and curly when they’ve got a head full of long hair? How did they all come out? Mysterious.
Practising their Oscars acceptance speech
Even the most grounded adult is entitled to their fantasies, so why not imagining collecting an Oscar in the shower? You think it’s kind of cute, and don’t pay too much attention to the fact that the speech weirdly seems to involve a large chunk of the diner orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally.
Crying
We all feel a bit low sometimes, and a good cry can be therapeutic. The shower is the ideal place because they’ll feel refreshed and more positive and the water washes away the tears. Those moans are definitely heartfelt sobs, not someone enjoying a bit of self-love.
Blowing bubbles with the soap
Your partner is a big kid at heart, and they spend ages lathering up the soap and blowing bubbles by making an ‘O’ with their finger and thumb. At least, you presume that’s why they were in there for 25 minutes and now the bar is worn down to a nub.
