Is it unreasonable to do this?

[StealthPenguin]

I've just thought about it, and actually it's quite weird.

Basically, there's nothing my DP and I won't discuss. Some of you may remember the thread concerning sex with another you, and whether it was self-pleasure or incest.

But we talk to each other on a daily basis about our toilet activities. Size, consistency, amount of strain, etc.

Are we odd?! Or do other couples do this?

Stealth - DP tells me about his, I just listen like this

It's mitosis.

And I used to listen, but after a while just accepted it as a part of life!

you dirty mare, stealth

Anyway, I'm off to bed. I'll be back in the morning!

If it comes up in conversation, of course we talk about it (what is the point of being married to someone if you are ashamed of your bodily functions?) but only if it comes up - eg if I go in the bathroom after him and say it smells and he should have opened a window, he might say sorry, but he had a big curry last night, etc. Mostly it doesn't come up though.

And who hasn't had the "sex with another you" conversation? I've had it with my friends. It is a fascinating concept. Would you fancy yourself? Would it be sex or masturbation?

i'm going out with mates tomorrow. i shall ask them. and enjoy watching their faces as they try to come to terms with the concept

OK, I'm here a bit longer.

dolly the sheep?

We're the same as you OP. there's nothing Dp and I don't discuss.

And I reckon everyone should ask their friends, and then report back to me!

I love Mumsnet!

DH is a bowel nurse. It's all fair game here!

:O

THERE'S ANOTHER STEALTH?!

Aloha, ye from distant shores! I take it you're from up north?

i am going out tomorrow with friends.

i shall throw the subject up for discussion and enjoy watching their faces as they try to work it out

Grim.

Would you have a threesome with yourself and an opposite sex version of yourself? And at any point, does it count as cheating on your partner? (Given that there isn't actually another person,iyswim)
How about if your partner had sex with you, but in the past? Could you be annoyed? I think it all depends on if he prefers the old you, and if you looked better back then. EG if DH kept refusing me so he could go back in time to sleep with pre kids me I would be a bit pissed off. To say the least.

Fair play to you SP.

I'm not that inclined to speak aabout stuff like that I wish I was as open as you are.

Maybe you're just a philosopher in waiting :)

This thread is .........too weird!

1. I've never discussed my poo (or any bodily functions) with ANYONE never mind DP
2. Sex with myself? WTF?? Why would anyone want to have sex with themselves? If I never saw myself again it would be too soon! And I'm not a lesbian. And I don't fancy myself. Obviously eurgh

Me n my DH are ridiculously open with each other, and to think that when we first met he was uncomfortable about being naked in front of me. Haha - soon cured him of that one. Toilet doors open, checking my fandango for post-birth alterations, you name it, we do it. And I don't care how bloody weird it is! Tra la la!

whole new levels of

You are not alone stealth, DP and I happily discuss our shits in great detail.

I wouldn't shit in front of him but I've not had children yet and I have heard that you tend to poo when birthing. So I would have thought at least one woman here has pooed in front of their partner.

Yep, me! And on the student midwife. According to DH, she was a little horrified.

We have this type of relationship. I don't poo in front of DP though, but I'll happily discuss what type of poo it was afterwards.

DP likes to think the poo fairy visits 'ladies' and whisks it away with minimal fuss. He had a very sanitised upbringing. He would FREAK if I started talking consistency/colour etc.
