...to ask if people give their fanjos a quick clean before sex?

Another thread has got me thinking... I shower every day, usually in the morning. I wash myself with non-perfumed soap. I am not a sweaty or smelly person, at all. However, if I think it likely that DH and I are going to, ahem, have relations, I will usually pop into the bathroom and give my fanjo a wipe with a wet washcloth. No perfumes or wet wipes! Otherwise I worry that it will smell sweaty and just not very good. However, I have always wondered: is this weird or do other people do this?

Shower before oral. Most of the time except if we are simply consumed with lust

Otherwise, no.

Dillydollydaydream · 22/03/2014 21:37

I don't. Just normal washing seems fine. Isn't it a waste to get all squeaky clean only to get all sticky and sweaty again Wink
Btw. I've been wondering is fanjo said like banjo or is the 'j' a 'y' sound?!
too much time on hands

From a gentlemanly perspective unwashed is preferable (tangier) rather than the smell snd taste of Imperial Leather or baby wipe.

NurseyWursey · 22/03/2014 21:39

We hardly every have spontaneous sex it bugs me! DP always has to shower first. I couldn't care less!

Imsosorryalan · 22/03/2014 21:39

On a more boring note, can is just remind folk that baby wipes and those flush able wipes are the no. 1 cause for blocked toilets. Also, they don't degrade in the same way that toilet roll does. So please put them in the bin not the loo. Right, as you were...

WhatEverZen · 22/03/2014 21:42

No not especially, unless it had been a long hot day but even then, id probably have a quick clean / shower anyway regardless of whether sex was likely.

I would never interrupt any 'build up' to nip to the bathroom to have a quick clean.

However I say all that as a happily married woman. When we first dated, I probably did a combination of spontaneous and other times being 'prepared' just in case...

Depends if I've been sitting on a trifle beforehand or not.

fortyplus · 22/03/2014 21:44

Those of you who don't get sweaty fanjos - don't you do any exercise?? I'm in a GB sports team and can assure you that my fanjo gets just as sweaty as everywhere else! Grin

Fifyfomum · 22/03/2014 21:45

I never put babywipes in the loo. Did you see that video that Wessex Water made? They got baby wipes and 'washable' wipes and tied knots in them to tie them together and used them to pull a plane.

Fairylea · 22/03/2014 21:47

I'm surprised so many people have a quick wipe with baby wipes beforehand .I can't think of anything less sexy than smelling like a baby's bum.

I have a shower at least once a day and soap all the appropriate bits. That's enough for me. Dh is the same.

MoominIsWaitingToMeetHerMiniMe · 22/03/2014 21:48

If sexytime is on the horizon, I have a wee and use babywipes. Used to be Kandoo but now it's ASDAs own apple scented ones.

BertieBotts · 22/03/2014 21:49

Oh yes, after exercise or if it's really hot, but I shower straight after exercise, I don't jump into bed with DH - no energy! When it gets really hot in summer (can be over 30 where we live) we don't often have the energy for sex anyway because even touching someone else's body heat is like torture.

MamaMary · 22/03/2014 21:52

Yes, do exercise, and no, no sweat down there!

NurseyWursey · 22/03/2014 21:53

Wow mama that's good for you! I get a sweaty groin and bum crack. Wink

mummytowillow · 22/03/2014 21:53

Ladies you so need to get some Femfresh wipes Grin

I have a friend with benefits, I always have a pack handy if he comes over. They don't have a strong smell so no giveaway ....

Benchmark · 22/03/2014 21:54

I do give it a clean if I've been hot or particularly stressed during the day and am expecting action. But generally don't bother.
I would always shower after exercise anyway regardless of whether I expected sex or not.

DumbPluck · 22/03/2014 21:55

yes, quick flip flop with a flannel, might of had a poo see ;-)(for oral, he has a poetic licence down B ) dont want the smell of shit wafting, i'll have a quick enema too ;-) .. I never know where he's gunna insert it ;-) ..

scarlettbrooke · 22/03/2014 21:56

I do not get a sweaty fanjo as I generally avoid exercise of any kind however I won't do it if I'm prickly down there unless he agrees not to touch the prickles and I always make sure I'm clean beforehand. Are men actually bothered about lady garden stubble? My mans not if it means no sex but it bothers me....

NurseyWursey · 22/03/2014 21:57

Scarlette it bothers me too. My DP doesn't care at all. But I like being smooth, it's my preference so when I'm anything but I don't like it.

fortyplus · 22/03/2014 22:00

You have just as many sweat glands in your pubic area as your armpits - or don't those sweat either? Wink

hashtagwhatever · 22/03/2014 22:01

Yes I always do and a quick teeth clean

gimcrack · 22/03/2014 22:03

Forget about penis beakers, it sounds as though there's money to be made from fanjo flasks.

Fifyfomum · 22/03/2014 22:06

Moomin Apple scented... Nice touch!

NurseyWursey · 22/03/2014 22:08

I once put chocolate scented lotion on my thighs and groin Blush DP did say 'mmmmm!' as he went down there...

jolenjolene · 22/03/2014 22:33

PMSL at fanjo flasks!!!
