Following the candle lighting ceremony, the male rolls a latke into a cylinder and thrusts it into the females anus. He then eats the latke out and once the latke is consumed, he proceeds to engage in the act of anal sex.

Get the nomance showmance mug.A romance developed between two actors during the filming of a movie/production of a play that ends directly after the project has ended. Often, a showmance occurs between two people playing lovers (this could be caused because of the close contact between the actors in such situations, or because of a confusion between real emotions and the character's emotions). Current usage also applies to reality show contestants who hook up during the show for the sake of good television, but this term has been used in theatre circles for many decades.
While they were playing Romeo and Juliet, Bob and Sally started dating, but then broke up after closing night. It was just a showmance.
