Martha is a brassy, middle-aged bisexual whose husband has forced her into Dublin’s thriving swingers scene.

In a health farm where the winter vomiting bug is forcing everyone to isolate in their rooms, we are introduced to two female protagonists.

Whenever men or women have made jokes to me in the shower like the one he made to you today with the RN, I usually say something like "Well we'll have to see about that." with a smile and a raised eyebrow, haha.A day spent reviewing two of the main offerings in the first week of the 19th International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival is broken into two even halves.

If you react poorly, he may do it more to get the reaction. But it sounds like he may just like to tease you as a way to get to know you. If he says anything, take it in good humor unless it makes you genuinely uncomfortable - like he's making a come on or being verbally/sexually aggressive. But please do this, I have had to explain to way too many female co-workers why it is important to wash under foreskins after I've given showers or baths to men.

I usually start with their hair/head and wash down the front and down the back - skipping the genitals - and then once I've rinsed all of that off, I'll wash the genitals, have him stand up, and wash the perineum and then the behind. Of all the guys I showered at my last job, I usually washed their behind/back of legs last - your behind is generally your dirtiest area. Might be a little much to ask a smart aleck not to say anything during a shower.
