I’m not going to lie I didn’t know who these people were when I saw this story and I’m still not sure. I just wanted to talk about this. Joanna García Swisher is an actress who was on The Astronaut Wives Club and currently plays Ariel on Once Upon a Time. Her husband, Nick Swisher, is a former professional baseball player. They have two daughters together: Emerson, 5, and Sailor, 2. JoAnna has talked before about their healthy sex life, telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in 2015 that “He definitely always gets laid. We have a good situation.” Not much has changed for them since they had kids because JoAnna and Nick did an interview where she revealed that she has an open invitation for Nick whenever she takes a shower. It’s like a signal to him or something. I’ve never heard of this type of arrangement! You can see the interview they did with Motherlucker on Facebook, they’re so cute together and I buy that they have a great relationship. When they’re asked “how do you guys keep the flame alive” they both smirk like they have a secret. When JoAnna admits they do it in the shower, Nick laughs so hard.
Nick: Make it happen quick fellas. It’s a lot easier.
JoAnna: He could get it, like every time I go in the shower. I actually now have to like [whispers] ‘I’m going to the shower.’
Nick: SO now every time JoAnna showers I think it’s my time. I don’t know what to tell ya!
Well I didn’t know it was possible to have two kids with someone and still want to have sex with them every day. Maybe that explains why I’m divorced. I guess there really are people who get married and are still hot for each other even when they have little kids at home. I’ve read think pieces about this, about married couples trying to href=”https://www.glam.com/more-sex-in-marriage-for-a-month/”>have sex every day for a month to see how it affected their relationship. Maybe it’s just a matter of classical conditioning. Shower = sex = good relationship. It could be some kind of feedback loop too. Good relationship = more sex = good relationship. *takes notes*

My hubby and I have sex pretty much every day, sometimes twice. We only have one kid and she’s six now, has sleepovers with her grandparents who live next door a lot. We have a good time, don’t turn him down very often that’s for sure
I’ve been with my husband 17 years and we have three kids and do it just about every day as well.
Aside from being hot for each other, it does promote a deeper intimacy and closeness, I think, even outside the bedroom.
Wow, I’m so jealous. We have no kids, I’m lucky if i get it twice a month. My husband works a very physical job and just wants to chill when he gets home. I know, we should do it in the morning but we just dont. I think he has a low sex drive and he smokes a lot of weed which I’m sure doesnt help.
Snowflake, speaking from experience…yes you should try to do it in the morning before his first bowl. The weed absolutely does not help
My partner and i literally just spent a three day weekend alone and smoked weed and ate thc edibles the whole time. No problems. Hubby has a very high sex drive, its great.
Oh yes, weed is a libido killer. I love morning sex but not shower sex. Too dangerous! Always afraid of slipping and cracking my head open. Bathtub sex is good though
@ Missy–wow that was unsupportive. I mean, yay for you and your hubby, but not that helpful of a response to someone who is not in as good of a place
Lol seriously? Im not bragging…im just saying that you cant always blame the weed. Hubby and i smoke alot of weed and its never caused a problem with our sex life. I was stating how it is for me..didnt mean to be “unsupportive”,
It’s the opposite for my husband as well- weed acts like an aphrodisiac in him. So maybe people’s chemistry is just unique? Let’s all get our feet off Missy’s neck now.
@missy, I’m not bothered by your comment, just a tad jealous lol. Its ok ladies no worries. I would love to try edibles! And the lots of sex 😁
I wondered why she looked forever. She starred as Cheyenne on the old Reba show that I used to watch on CMT reruns when nothing else was on.
Obviously I meant, “familiar” not forever. How does someone look forever?
HAHAHA… I wondered, too, but figured it meant, “forever young!”
I liked her in Reba and wondered what happened to her, I watched a rerun over the weekend. I haven’t been paying that much attention, I guess.
I’ve always thought she was so pretty. Love her red hair.
I’m a blonde,and I know her from Reba,my daughter likes the reruns.She looks great,now I really want to go red!Really makes her eyes pop.
How do you guys want to do it that often?? We have a 3 year old and an 8 month old and honestly, if I have any extra time I want to sleep (which rarely happens)! Hoping just a stage…
I hear you on the sleep!! We have two (including a 6 month old). I feel like right now we’re taking quantity over quality when it comes to sex. I don’t want to take much time when I could get more sleep, so lots of quickies. But even that makes us a little more in sync I think…? Maybe one day we’ll go back to nice, long and slow haha.
I would imagine they’ve got some additional support around the house with the kids which helps mom get more sleep AND means there’s someone around who is still keeping an eye on the kids while the parents are showering and sexing.
It’s a stage. Now that my youngest is three we too are almost daily. When my kids were under 18 months forget about it
lol. I have an almost 3 year old and an almost 8 month old. and my name is also Megs. Let’s just say I’m right there with ya in all respects.
Maybe age is a factor, too. And good health. I’m almost 50 and struggling with health problems, and my husband and I only have sex about once a month (or two months!). I’m lucky he’s very supportive.
It’s not like it’s some big event, quickies can take 5 mins. Idk hubby and I have 2 kids 7 & 9 and we both work 60 hour work weeks. We manage it once or twice a day, everyday. Find the time and energy, it’s important!
The shower part means a lot more foreplay than no shower but after 16 years and 3 kids between 2 and 8 we still do it 3-4 times a week.
She looks like Robin Lively to me. Good for them though
No clean up
Good for them! I like shower sex but my husband and I can’t make it work because he’s 6’3″ and I’m 5’2″ and it’s just… awkward. I will say this, though–this is my second marriage and we have two young kids (my 9yo from my previous marriage and our 6 month old). We’re both working full time and generally exhausted a lot, but we still have sex about 4-5 times every week. It really *is* a positive feedback loop. Even when I don’t think I’m in the mood, I end up much happier and feeling more connected. And I think we communicate better that way. It does take some effort and sometimes that can feel a little–I don’t know–corny maybe? But I think this couple is on to something.
Two little kids here, and my husband can get it every day that I’m not having back and hip pain. Which is sometimes many days a week, sometimes less. We have been married for six years and our sex life has not decreased.
He also has a signal: any time I take a bath in the evening he knows he can just wait in bed and I’ll come in ready to go lol.
My husband and I have been together 5 years and I’m currently very pregnant and not feeling great. In the morning after a shower is about the only time it’s happening now, but before we’d do it as much as possible on the weekend and try for at least two nights during the week. And yeah, sometimes we’d have to try… You’re tired, you’re stressed, you ate too much. But once you get rolling, it’s always worth it.
I can relate to it and my hubs and i try to shower together every time we can, it is one of our favorite things to do. It started as way to still be intimate during that time of the month…i know, tmi…but it makes for a fun, easy to clean experience. After that we’d sneak into the shower anytime, we just love it. The level of intimacy i feel with my husband since we started this is amazing and he really hates it when we can’t shower together. It’s like our couple’s “me time”. We catch up on our day, get playful and silly…it’s like a mini spa retreat of sorts…we have a month old baby, which takes a lot of adjustment. But i couldn’t wait to be able to be intimate with my hubby again…maybe my hormones are out of whack but at least in an enjoyable way…after 5 years together we still love spending as much time together as we can. I love that feeling of vulnerability and knowing my busband loves and accepts me and my body as i am. We are both very visual and love to touch, so if you and your partner are that way then showers offer a very intimate and fun environment to add some fun.
Aww, that’s a sweet post.
Love these comments. I have a different sleep pattern than my husband and it’s not unusual for me to wake up at 4 am and take a long, relaxing shower or bath and then wake him up for sex. I feel luxurious and super frisky and it’s easier to ignore everyday real life stuff and just enjoy my husband as the sun rises.
I hate shower sex!
Agreed. No way I could get off from it and very uncomfortable.
I don’t enjoy it either. Can never seem to get in the right position etc
I am no prude, but in my experience, people who feel the need to brag about their sex lives in this level of detail usually aren’t getting nearly as much as they’d have you believe.
I do not tell anyone how much me and my hubby have sex. Firstly, they would never believe me anyway, and it creates jealousy. My hubby is 6″1 and in amazing shape..so I think folks assume he has no problems in the bedroom… I treat him like a King and he reciprocates.
Bingo.
Totally agree. Everyone has sex and they’re not that special.
Is she still a Scientologist? If so, any good will I have towards her goes right out the window. When her and Swisher got together, I know she was. I was disappointed that one of my favorite Yankees was probably gonna become a member of that creepy cult.
Don’t know. I messaged Tony Ortega. We’ll see if I get a response.
With two kids how can husband and wife both be in the shower at the same time? Who is watching the kids? Also, EVERYTIME she takes a shower? Really? Even during her time of the month?
Right?? I can’t even shower without both kids coming in 10 times.
Well, period sex is amazing and the shower is a great place to do it!
i think it just depends….but my fiance and I get it like between 5 to 10 times a week…but if we are spent or sick then obv less…it just seeing what works and not denying your partner all the time. you know
ALSO quickies are amazing, sometimes sex doesnt need to be a 5 course meal when you can get a to-go dinner that packs that punch LOL
My husband and I are making an active effort to increase intimacy. I love the shower sex idea becuase privacy can be one of the biggest detractors. I think having a code like that stops making it seem like work too, because trying to find time can make it feel like work and that kills the mood but if ther eis this arrangement that shower = sex then that aspect is taken out of the equation.
My husband and I have 2 very active boys, 3 and 10. We held hands while watching Investgation Discovery in bed; then promptly went to sleep. Romance!
I doubt it’s every time she’s taking a shower. And anyone wondering how they can be in the shower with two kids, maybe they do it when the kids asleep? Plus they probably have a nanny or help, and can also be with other family, in school, or some other activity while the two “shower” for 5 mins.
As for the frequency or keeping the spark alive – some couples have more, some less, some in-between. Every couple is different and more than sex, intimacy is what keeps a relationship working, but if there are other issues having sex 24 hrs a day won’t save any relationship.
My husband and I have a 12 year old, 10 year old, and 5 month old and even though we admit our sex drive has seemed to go down some we are still very much hot for each other. We’ve been together 13 years and have sex about 4 times a week.
