To be putoff intimacy with DP due to this?

DP and I are doing the deed a lot more regularly at the moment because we are ttc. This is usually in the evening when we first get into bed.

DP has a habit of going to the loo for several minutes before he joins me. I told him I find this off putting and unhygienic and asked if he can wait until after or go earlier in the day.

He just doesn’t see the issue and how someone would find it off putting.

Do you think I’m being unreasonable or would this annoy you too? It just seems stupid timing when you know you are going to be intimate with someone. It’s not a one off, it’s most occasions.

unless you're pegging him then I fail to see the issue

LittleMyLabyrinth · 04/09/2025 18:05

It would put me off. Realistically it's probably no big deal, but some men have messier poos and danglier bits...I wouldn't want that anywhere near me. When men use the toilet a certain percentage goes a certain way into the toilet bowl...

Well look at that thing.

That level of jet power is going to ricochet, and if you turned round to check you were firing it right, getting off the muck or whatever it is that a bum-sprayer is supposed to achieve then you might well get an eye-full.

I agree a bum gun appears unwieldy and there is plenty of scope for misadventure.

Perhaps the more sensitive minded MNetters could start a petition to get Japanese style bidets installed into UK bathrooms as standard 😆

Id love to know how the hell you would spray it into your eyes!!! The minds boggles

Anyway, are you sure you didn't use something intended for cleaning the toilet bowl? It's not as if there is any bum in evidence in the photos ...

I buy a new mattress every time I DTD.

That's just skanky. You should be moving house every time.

Ideally she should be placed in the shitness protection programme for her own safety.

This has reminded me of a woman I once knew who had a boyfriend who didn't like to acknowledge that women poo too. When they stayed in a hotel, he expected her to leave their room and use the restaurant loo. She did as she was told and went. He on the other hand used the loo in the en suite. Both of them were quite happy to talk about it in front of other people 😬

CancelTheTableAlan · 04/09/2025 17:57

How do you know he hasn't had a quick wipe with damp toilet paper or otherwise freshened up? It's probably more likely he's cleaner after pooing just before he knows he is about to have sex, then if he just had a poo randomly three hours before.

And no, unless you do suffer from UTIs, nobody has a big massive shower before sex as standard, unless you've been doing something particularly smelly like just got home from your job as a binman.

Mischance · 04/09/2025 17:57

I always give my backside a swill in the sink after a poo despite it having got me in trouble at work on more than one occasion.

I'd love to see you doing this. Imagine going into the ladies and finding you there with your arse out and splashing it in the sink - how, just how?

Take a wet wipe with you if you feel the need for a spit and polish as well as a wipe.

RubySquid · 04/09/2025 17:57

Calliopespa · 04/09/2025 17:52

not if the jet spray splashes in your eyes - or anywhere really ...

Is everyone having a shower before sex then? Not very spontaneous is it. And before you say it’s different if you’ve just had a poo, it’s not like the post poo miasma you’re grossed out by fades away during the day is it.. in fact it gets worse with sweat and festering etc.

DoYouReally · 04/09/2025 17:56

This thread 😂

After reading all this, I'm beginning to think some men are handed an sex sexual.

  1. 5pm cut off - last allowable shit
  2. full shower & scrub
  3. bum inspection to check for satisfactory cleanliness
  4. sex - missionary, lights off
  5. mandatory post coitus cuddle
  6. Promptly remove sheet/bed linen and put on 90degree boiled watch
  7. Further shower before new sheets

Bloody hell, spontaneous sex obviously banded in a lot of households and cleanliness gone to the extreme.

Ask him to shower after .

Its a spray

Shayisgreat · 04/09/2025 17:53

For the people saying that he should shower after doing a poo - would you expect the same if he had done a poo earlier in the day? If not, why not? Wash hands certainly but why would he need to wash his whole body if he wipes properly?

I can understand that's it's off putting for you OP but he probably can't help needing to poo!

I think you’d find him farting mid act might be even more uncomfortable 🤣

How does one plan to do it before???

Also, do you guys not use water? Bidet spray or just sink or whatever? 🫣

You've never travelled in Asia then I guess?. It's a wonderful invention and means that you actually wash your bum rather than just wiping. Much more hygienic

SaladAndChipsForTea · 04/09/2025 17:52

I have never known a man excuse himself for a shit before a shag the first time .... because its embarrassing for a reason!

That's the problem, after years together he isn't bothering to try and be at least a bit sexy.

Comes home, nips upstairs to drop his guts and presents himself into the bedroom like OP should be fainting with excitement and turned on 😆

AS IF!!!

Mischance · 04/09/2025 17:52

I wouldn't be surprised if the OP (or the shower before sex brigade) have a dog which lies/sits all over their house with its shitty unwiped bum.

ImogenBrocklehurst · 04/09/2025 17:51

Nope, never been to Asia. Does it come as part of a toilet, is it an add-on, or a separate device?

RubySquid · 04/09/2025 17:47

ImogenBrocklehurst · 04/09/2025 17:43

WTF is a bum gun??

I mean, I can imagine what it is, but I didn’t know it’s a thing 🤯

Calliopespa · 04/09/2025 17:46

What kind of experience do some of you have in the loo that you need to take a shower straight after?

I don't mean to poke fun at IBS-type conditions, which must be frustrating, but most people can manage to keep decent with a good wipe.

Digdongdoo · 04/09/2025 17:46

Ihavetoask · 04/09/2025 17:43

Not comparable. It would be comparable to doing anal with totally uncontrollable diarrhoea

What a sentence 😂
