Most long-term couples will go out of their way to keep a relationship healthy, from giving extra compliments to taking a dance class (to, um, having a threesome).

Then there's the ol' "let him ogle other boobies to keep him interested in yours" approach. A male writer on YourTango credits nudie bars with keeping the spice in his marriage. While some women get jealous, his wife doesn't mind since she knows it gets him off with no consequences. (Reminds us of the cool mums who let kids drink as long as it was at home.)

According to the article, strip clubs (or, as the author calls 'em at one point, "shaker bars") are a highway-exit, no-side-effects form of Viagra. The dude's libido gets spiked, he takes home that randy feeling (with none of the STDs) to his wife, and the entire relationship benefits.

Tell us! What do you think? Have you ever been to a strip joint with your guy? Do you mind when he goes?
