In this thread JC claims to have fingered his wife, yet in other threads he claims they regularly have sex(using a condom).

Hmmm.

Maybe she’s just whipping it out.

Here’s how I would respond to this:

Wife: “Honey, you know I have a penis, right?”

Me: “Sure baby. It’s attached to my body, but it is all yours!”

That should get a smile out of her, and perhaps get her to stop making that sort of comment.

If you don’t like your wife saying this, you need to tell him your feelings.

I think many of the responses indicate people have skimmed past this post so I’m quoting it.  
Anyway you should be like Moe the bartender and be all “and penis is Russian for?” replacing Russian with whatever would be appropriate given your wife’s ethnicity.

Or be one. The only thing we’d know for sure is that if [one of these](http://www.homedepot.com/p/Toro-TimeCutter-Mx5060-50-in-23-HP-Kawasaki-V-Twin-Zero-Turn-Riding-Mower-with-Smart-Speed-74641/203104348?N=bx5cZ1i9#.UhKSbpJvOXs) is hanging wet in the shower, she’s probably well-groomed.

Yanno, JohnClay, just because you two crazy kids got married doesn’t mean you had to stop having sex…😉

I just learned that fingering does not always refer to orifice insertation, but also for a variety of light sexual contact, so there is that.

I used to finger my wife before she was my wife. Now we only have regular sex.

Thanks ever so much for sharing. I, for one, feel spiritually enriched.

I didn’t realize using your hands was some sort of “freaky shit”. You animal you.

I guess the first question to be asked and answered is “Is Mrs Clay joking about having a penis or not?”.

Call me crazy, but I believe that this is something that every couple should discuss before marriage. Really, there are only a few questions that really whould be asked:

Do you plan on wanting children in the future?  
Are you a “spender” or a “saver”?  
Do you now have or have you ever had a penis?

All the rest is minor.
