Does your man like pamper nights?

My lovely DP just walked in from golf and asked if we can do a pamper night tonight. Face masks, teeth whitening, pedicure and waxing his beard. I think it's really sweet and makes my heart melt. Anyone else's man like this behind closed doors?

It would make my libido melt rather than my heart tbh

Big burly 6'8 DH loves a face mask, bubble bath and chick flick evening. He has no shame either.

MaireadMcSweeney · 25/03/2023 16:15

I think that sounds dull as fuck so it wouldn't appeal to me!

ThreeRingCircus · 25/03/2023 16:15

It just shows we're all different! I find men who are too preoccupied with their appearance really un-sexy and I'm not sure why..... I suppose it seems quite vain/shallow and I'd worry they'd want me to be very groomed too! Beard waxing seems madness to me but I do prefer a rugged look like my DH and equally he has to put up with me knee-deep in mud gardening in my PJs 🤣. DH definitely isn't waxing or having pedicures behind closed doors!

It's nice if it's something he enjoys and you can share that with him though and if you find it sweet then it doesn't matter what anyone thinks!

Firstly, I'd never be with someone who played golf. Secondly, I wouldn't be able to continue our active sex life if he asked me for a "pamper night" - my vagina would seal up.

Exactly this

Ha no.

No that would give me the ick.

Yep me too!

Jewelanemone · 25/03/2023 16:16

God, no. I can't think of anything less attractive.

Wellillsayitifnoonelsewill · 25/03/2023 16:18

My partner is more likely to ask me to rub his feet, pick his back and then give him a blow Job but each to their own I suppose

Fluffygreenslippers · 25/03/2023 16:20

My husband will do the occasional face mask but he doesn’t call it a pamper night lol. That name gives me the ick.

Is it always in that order or does he mix it up?

Tittyfilarious81 · 25/03/2023 16:20

Nope and for some reason I'd be really put off if my DH wanted to do all that

Wiccan · 25/03/2023 16:29

Been doing it for years . Why shouldn't a man want a night where he focuses on skincare / hair /beard / nails . Women do it so don't see a problem .

Lottieskeeper · 25/03/2023 16:31

My DH wouldn't go so far as a pamper night but loves a bubble bath with a scented candle and a glass of bubbly after spending a hard day getting dirty and oily 'fixing' old bangers on the drive.

1 balances out the other I reckon so he's still just about manly enough.

I’d hate the idea of wasting a whole evening on that stuff too.

FrankandWalters · 25/03/2023 16:33

My vagina clamped shut at the golf part.

But in your shoes, OP, I’d suggest buying him a copy of The Beauty Myth.

Depends if he’s been listening to Sting and feeling all tantric. Sometimes it’s straight to the nosh

We clearly know very different kinds of women.

Howdoesitworkagain · 25/03/2023 16:38

😂 no. It’s not my idea of fun either. “Pamper”. Hate that word. 😂

AggieTop · 25/03/2023 16:38

@Wiccan - I think you mean that "some" women do it. In all my 50+ years on this planet I have never had a pamper night and don't intend to start now. Thank goodness DH feels the same otherwise it would be a massive ick.

Just remembered that episode of Friends where Ross wants a bubble bath while listening to Kenny G 😂

Mammyloveswine · 25/03/2023 16:41

Hahahahaha absolutely not 😂😂😂😂😂😂

charliegirl86 · 25/03/2023 16:43

No, he loves a bath bomb but that's about it

Waxing a beard sounds extremely painful, what's wrong with shaving?

🤣

Totally agree.

If my DJ suggested a Pamper Night I'd suddenly have a raging case of Sahara Floof.

Ick
