does your dp/dh wash, shower, or bath every day like you or not. Wish he would, it really annoys me. I like the bed to smell clean.

Mornings showers are part of both our routines although I sometimes have an evening bath too (for relaxation rather than getting clean purposes)

you have the same situation that i have . he will go 2-3 days. I think that at least his bits should get a clean and his arm pits and face. I like a man to smell gorgeous. Have asked him nicely to wash more but doesnt make a vast amount of difference. he is aware more that i dont like his grotty habit and kind of showers a bit more but he gets pretty annoyed if i go on too much.

My DH loves to have a bath every night, but he has it so hot it makes him sweat! What is the point of that? I usually have a bath or a shower at least once a day. Would love a power shower though, ours is just a normal one. Can't always be bothered with the hassle of running a bath though, and don't like too many bubbles cos they annoy me.

My DH washes more too. He showers in the morning before work and he has a bubbly bath at night. I shower every morning and probably have a bath in the evening 3 or 4 times a week.

Dh doesn't shower every day like I do but it is really weird that he never has any BO. I love the smell of 'men', (not sweaty) and to me the smell of a man is part of the whole erotic experience but my dh just doesn't seem to have any kind of odour about him. If he is away I like to cuddle his pjs but even they don't smell of anything. That's weird isn't it???

Xh used to not wash or brush teeth - and come to bed in the clothes he had been wearing all day... He was a heavy smoker, too. Lovely.

My dp has many faults but lack of cleanliness is not among them.

my partner is the same redsky, infact I hardly ever see him wash, although he does get up an hour before me - and yet he never smells!

dp does shower everyday.. but before he goes to work.. wish he would have a shower before bed too.. i might be more inclined to venture south then sorry but its true!

Also, i am teaching ds how important nice clean teeth and fresh breath are.. why, when they grow up do they not think what it is like to kiss beer and curry breath?..

I agree awen there is nothing worse than smelly bits, unless he has paid me a visit down there and then goes to kiss me in the morning before brushing his teeth.

Why do you assume that we wash/shower/bath once a day??
yes, he does wash daily. thank god.
i actually like the way he smells when he's sweaty (just after he's been doing some DIY or some strenuous stuff)and he just smells of him. but i wouldn't like it if he went to bed all smelly and he'd deffinetly have no chance of a bj if he didn't wash.

My dh thinks I am unpseakabley grubby as during our ten years of English winters I did not shower every day. He is a very very clean man, too clean in fact, I like a bit of manly odour every now and again
