Is it still there?

Is this a problem in your house? I don't remember my dad ever doing this, I guess he still had his invisible lines of propriety. But, in my house, you can catch every male member at some time or another sticking his hands down his pants. What the *#&~!? There is no shame! I've been known to throw out snide comments like, "Is it still there?", "Have you found it yet?", or "Go wash your hands, you pee with that thing!". I don't understand the male psyche. They say, "Well it itches!". Even so, I itch, and you won't catch me with my hands down my pants digging around. I mean, come on, that really would not look right, would it? Gratefully, they have never done this in public. My embarrassment and mortification on their behalf is, thankfully, limited to my home.


Does this happen in your family or are my guys just fixated?

Invisible Lines

When we first marry, there are these invisible lines of propriety. There are things that you just don't do in front of each other. The bathroom door remains closed when using the toilet. Farts, burps or other bodily functions are suppressed so as not to disrespect and embarrass ourselves. Even running to the toilet to throw up necessitates a few extra seconds to shut the door so our spouse doesn't hear the vile things coming from our mouths. Somewhere along the way the invisible lines of propriety become fuzzy and simply disappear. I don't know when it happened, for KT it was probably month 2, but for me it was several years into our marriage.

Are your lines of propriety still clear or have yours simply become fuzzy and disappeared, too?
