"The bedroom" (not to be mistaken with bedrooms, a location in a home designated for sleeping and dressing) is an expression referring to a sexual relationship between a man and his wife, whether or not the intimate acts implied were to occur in one's bedroom. Thus, it refers to one's "love life."
Use of the expression[]
The expression implies a sexual relationship between a man and his wife. An example of the use of this expression would be the following:
- "If you were more assertive, the missus would respect you more in the bedroom."
This statement would therefore mean that an increase in assertiveness, either in one's overall approach or in their sexuality, would result in a more favorable sexual relationship with one's spouse.
In most circumstances, most men are expected to not discuss what goes on in the bedroom.
