In order for me to keep the romance alive in any relationship, there are just certain things I don't do in front of my significant other. Of course the number-one thing being going to the bathroom with the door closed, but tending to my eyebrows and bikini line are pretty high on my list, too. Now I know some people are of the mindset that if you truly love someone, there should be nothing to hide, but come on ladies, there's gotta be some things you do behind closed doors, right? If so, tell me, what's off limits in front of your significant other?

Erm.. armpit shaving. That's not nice for anyone to see.
1I am a very open person, but I'm ashamed of my obsession with people's blogs, so I won't blog or look at other's blogs in front of my significant other. Odd, I know.
2Bikini line shaving/maintainence is about all in the grooming department.
3pooping is completely off-limits.
4Going to the bathroom, noooo way. But I have a double standard, him seeing me anywhere near the toilet is completely off limits but I like to see him pee.. it's funny because he has to aim hehehe. Whenever I see him peeing I tell him I wish I had a penis cuz it looks fun. Like a game!
Also, tweezing ingrowns from my bikini line I generally dont let him see though my eyebrows I could care less. Anything else is pretty much fair game I think.
5Tending to myself when my monthly girlfriend arrives. I think the sight of her would frighten my husband.
6All of the above! I'm pretty modest, and I think that sparing the bf from seeing me pluck my eyebrows or pee kind of keeps the fantasy alive, even though he knows I do those things. We've been together 1.5 years and he's never seen me on the toilet. I wouldn't mind keeping that tradition for the rest of time! But like Fallen, we kind of have a double standard. He does *everything* with the door open, even though I could totally live without some of those noises!
7Anything bathroom related must be kept under wraps. Same for anything menstrual.
8we are pretty open after 8 years of marriage, I wont *wipe* or do any monthly business around him though. we have good conversations around that toilet.
9Shaving and #2's! haha
10Oh yeah...and anything period related. eek.
11anything that requires the restroom, unless its sex in our garden tud or our shower
12i pluck my eyebrows and pee in front of my bf, he doesn't care about stuff like that. the first time i did it he asked "girls pluck their eyebrows?!" ive shaved my legs in the shower with him, not armpits tho... but then again we've been going out for over 4 years since I was 16. I would NEVER go #2 in front of him thooo, gawdddd.
13I can't go to the bathroom with him in the room. If we take a shower together I always kick him out before I start shaving - all the bending and twisting is probably a little scary looking.
He keeps the door closed when he uses the toilet, but that's about it.
14Bathroom, shaving...basically all the things that would gross him out.
15Anything bathroom related for me. Keep out!
16#2, shaving and uhh a few other things. Ha.
17Nothing is off limits for us. He saw our daughter being born so I don't see what else there is to hide.
18I have done almost everything infront of him and him infront of me. He has even seen me put on a maxi pad. lol. he always laughs and says I am wearing a pamper. lol.
I am not too shy with my love.
But yeah sometimes when he walks in on me shaking my private area, or going number 2, I tell him to get out because Im shy. lol.
19Anything I do in the bathroom from using it to shaving to the visit from the curse, no no no!!!! I don't even brush my teeth in front of my hubby cause I get every single tooth and gums and tongue and cheeks and and and.................so yeah that's not such a pretty site!
20lmao at lauraxtc's "shaking my private area"!
Funniest. Typo. Ever.
But, yeah, anything in the bathroom is off limits. After 2 1/2 years, I almost have him trained to shut the door when he's in there. I HATE hearing him pee, sounds like dumping a bucket of water and is such a turn off for me.
21We're pretty open. I don't do number 2 or anything period related around him. I also don't pop pimples around him either, that's just weird and kind of gross.
22I'm like lms ...(without the birth thing, but he'll see that eventually too)
23He actually wanted to watch me shave once b/c he'd never saw someone do it. He was interested in how I can get all the areas, plus I'm pretty bendy so he liked seeing parts
Pooping is off-limits, everything else is fair game. I couldn't care less if he sees me shaving or tweezing eyebrows.
24Using the bathroom for sure...not sure what else...I wouldn't care either if he saw me shaving, Sporky.
25Using the bathroom, shaving, plucking and waxing.
26Like all of the above posters, using the bathroom, brushing my teeth, monthly "visits", and that's about it. He oddly wants to see all those things though.
27Using the toilet in front of each other is fine. Any grooming involving the armpit, crotch, or moustache he need not see. Definitely I don't want him checking out my period blood either.
28anything to do with grooming & periods & #1and#2, except i don't really mind if he sees me plucking my eyebrows...but i try to do it when he's not around
29Nothing, actually. Haha!
30anything to do with #2 and menstrual.. no way. everything else, the exbf had lived with for years hehe
31I used to be really private about bathroom stuff with my husband but thats changed. We just had a natural home birth and he was right there, so at this point there is literally nothing to hid. He's seen more of me than I would ever like to
32I don't like him to see me going to the bathroom, putting on makeup, or clipping my toenails. I don't mind shaving or tweezing in front of him.
33LOL when you are in the nightclub business, you do a lot of shaving...ALL over, keeping your body completely hairless (mmmmm!) so we help each other out in that aspect b/c it gets tedious! But for me, it's #2 that is a no in front of my SO. He doesn't care, but I just can't do it
34I agree with Tami, I HATE hearing boys pee! And I also agree with everyone above me, no using the toilet or tampons is involved. I don't care if he sees me shaving or plucking my eyebrows though.
35No pooping! Or flossing, either. I don't want him to see that.
36I NEVER let him see me brush my teeth
37My new dude loves watching me shave...anything and everything is fine with him! I felt weird about it at first, but if he's happy then I'm happy.
Anything Aunt Flow related or bathroom related is a no-no, same with waxing my upper lip once a month.
And one other thing that he'd love to see me do, but I refuse to do it around him if you catch my drift...
38There's nothing that we won't do in front of each other. Maybe it's because we've been together almost 5 years but we're just really open and know how to laugh at those things.
39most of the comments are the same pooping, period, etc...
40i used to be like that but once you have children you lose a lot of your modesty. Delivering babies everyone sees everything including #2 so. And when your little ones are old enough they are constantly in and out of the bathroom while you are on the toilet. Who hear has actually read books to their little ones while on the can?
oops i meant "here".
41There isn't anything I wouldn't do in front of him, though I usually warn him before I do anything period related, so he has a chance to disappear if he feels like it!
42What's with the fear of shaving? lol with my it's only #2 & period related. He has NONE... lol but I dont mind
43I've never lived with a boy so I don't really have much to say here, except I GOTTA ask - why would you be embarrassed to pluck your eyebrows in front of your lover? Everything else sounds pretty reasonable, hell I wouldn't even give birth in front of my loved one. But EYEBROWS?
44anything that has to with my period, going to the bathroom or personal grooming. I don't need an audience.
45Going to the bathroom is off limits. If I'm just in the bathroom, brushing my teeth or whatnot, it's fine. But actually using the bathroom is definitely off limits.
I don't think that there's really anything else off limits, since he's not grossed out by the once a month monster (then again, because of birth control, I haven't had to deal with that for awhile).
46Have to agree, Aunt Flo and I need our alone time, and the bending and twisting while shaving is something I prefer to do alone...come to think of it, there are lots of things I hate being seen while doing. We do have a double standard though, he'll wander in and pee while I'm doing my makeup (another thing I'm shy about, for some reason) and ask me to pop pimples on his back. And I won't hesitate to hold him down while I pluck his eyebrows!
47lauraxtc, I am on the same page with you!
Tami715, a dumping truck? I really laughed about that!
Okay, so this is REALLY GROSS, and I apologize to anyone who has a weak stomach. I am warning you not to read this if you HATE golden showers, but...The first time my boyfriend and I took a shower, which was our second date (He was also my first, so I was new at this), I admitted I peed in the shower. And then...I DID IT (His dorm has separate rooms for the shower and the toilet, and we snuck in naked to his shared bathroom!)! So, yeah...And I still do it every time I go in the shower, but now, I'll make sure to sneak it in when I'm "testing the temperature" and he's waiting outside the shower for the thumbs-up.
So, I'm shy about pooping, but after a year of dating, I had to GO one day when he was over. So, out of curiosity, he BUSTED IN, and refused to leave. It's not like I was in a position to physically push him out. I just kept hiding my face...So, that's been done.
As for my period...He used to notice my diapers when he'd grab my butt, so he knows what's up. Also, we've attempted to do it while I was on Aunt Flo, so he's seen it, had it on him, and worst of all, SMELT IT! AHHHH! Nowadays, I even put my pads on in front of him, and he's seen it when I leave it on my kitchen counter while I shower, before I wrap it up and trash it. Usually, he even smells the rankness, and comments on it. I try my best to hide it, but I guess mine has a STRONG smell.
We've only been together for 1.5 years. Strangely though, I don't groom in front of him. He accidentally walked in while I was shaving my legs, and I almost collapsed in the tub. He was definitely shooed away!
48like someone said before, anything that would kill the fantasy that you're naturally almost perfect
at least for now, I've only been dating my current guy for about 5 months. I keep zit-popping, shaving, periods, and bathroom events to myself.
49There is no way I would poop in front of my guy. Even farting is totally off limits, even though I once grew so tired of his incessant farting that I let one rip to show him - EXCEPT HE DIDN'T EVEN BLINK.
I wouldn't give birth, throw up, poop, insert a tampon or fart in front of him... and I try to keep the love alive by not waxing in front of him or flossing or cutting my toenails... but we do pee in the shower together!
