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

[jolenjolene]

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?

Is there a full moon?

Not meaning you Nursey - you are just "stirry" and a weird perv like me

I am so shocked people do this. It never occurred to me. Do you all have smelly...ahem...serious face "vulva and labia" (also need to know do people say these words in RL?!) ? I also wouldn't expect a man to wash.

I'm usually such a prude too. But you lot need to relax.

jolene We need to shave our arms.. we've been caught out!

I get sweaty because I'm on my feet all day.. if I don't have a shower right away and we have sex I want to clean up a bit.

And I've mentioned the toilet roll issue I seem to have

If I think we might have sex and I fancy DP going down on me I'll have a quick wash, takes a few seconds and rather be clean than sweaty or anything else. I def would prefer to go down on DP post a quick wash than after a full day of work and biking home!

I'm not religious or anything tho, if we get jiggy and I haven't washed since the morning I don't jump out of bed mid kiss and go wash.

Ah, I see, you're all doing this in anticipation of oral. See, I hate oral sex - told you I was a prude - so a sweet-smelling VULVA would be wasted.

Yep, quick wash beforehand. & use babywipes afterwards. Not sweaty but I feel fresher that way. OH does the same.

Of course I wash my vagina before sex. (Bollocks do I, there's nothing wrong with my personal hygiene thank you.) So when sensual foreplay is in progress I say to my husband, hold on love, I just need to break the mood to run a flannel over the business end.

Does OP think vaginas are dirty or sex is dirty or women are dirty or what ?

It reminds me of a scene from the t.v. show, 'Nighty Night' when someone's wife awkwardly asks her husband, 'would you like me to felate you ?' He replies, 'that would be awfully nice'. She replies, 'I've just cleaned my teeth.'

Also, when the husband asks for sex, she grudgingly replies, 'well, ok, but you need to wash me (my vagina) three times with special gels first.'

hmm reading down thread -why is it the ones that 'do' sound pretty relaxed about saying so

& the ones that 'don't' sound annoyed

I'm not annoyed - just genuinely shocked at how normal this clearly is.

But don't kid yourself rushing off to the bathroom for a quick wash pres-sex is "relaxed".

All this pre-planned sex is very surprising to me too. We're not exactly red hot but at least it's always spontaneous.

Good for you. Aren't you great.

Why do some people take such pleasure in putting other people's sex lives down??? Just get on with whatever it is you do and stop sneering. Sneering isn't sexy.

Yes. I expect my DH to have a gentleman's wash if he wants a nosh too. I wash fruit and veg before if goes in my mouth, why not a willy?

Yes sometimes if i havent had a bath since first thing. Usually if the teenager rings and says hes stopping out and weve finally managed to get the baby to bed.

Theres usually some amount of pre planning even if its half an hour, the joys of having teens, pre teens, toddlers and babies

HopelessDei, since your partner does not go down on you, then frankly it does not matter how woofy you are.

Do you give your partner head? Have you ever given head to an unwashed cock?

"It doesn't get sweaty down there - can't even imagine what that would be like"
We tend to sweat all over our bodies, especially where there are folds of skin or creases. The groin and vulva are ideal places for sweat and wiffs. Then there's the stale pee smell (unless you always rinse off after using the toilet). Oh, and wiping after a shit does not make a bum clean. The horror stories I've been told by men about the women they've had sex with would make you shudder. None of those women though they smelled of smeg, stale piss or shit!

It seems many people find it excruciatingly hard to tell someone they don't smell very nice, so I personally would never rely on the "never had any complaints" as a litmus test to my lack of BO. I've had my face planted in enough men's crotches to know that a shower in the morning does not mean they are still pleasant smelling in the afternoon as crotches sweat and tiny bits of pee get trapped and goes "off". I prefer to err on the side of caution or I can't relax properly and enjoy sex. That's not to say I break off foreplay to run to the bathroom though.

Just a thought...those who use wipes, have you ever tasted them? I wonder if they are are OK for the licker? A bit like some lubes taste nasty.

Ashadow, perhaps you misconstrued my "soap up" comment as implying I put soap into my vagina? I certainly don't. By soap up I just mean "apply soap", and that's only to my vulva (which is not self cleaning). I very rarely get thrush and mine doesn't seem to be triggered by using soap anyway.

Usually I just use warm water and a cloth, but if I use a babywipe, I
use the fragrance free ones, don't think they smell of much! I don't think, anyway.

Yes cock not washed since the morning is not very nice imo

Urgh, just had flashbacks to an ex. Boak.

BakerStreet Me too. Urgh indeed.

Ah yes, fishy (gone off pee) smell under the foreskin, stale sweat groin, "bummy" crack. All from men who probably though they smelt fine. Well they would I suppose when their noses were about 2 and a half feet away from their crotch but my nose was on it! I had a (short lived) FWB that had just got out of the bath and had a fishy cock. Methinks his parents omitted to tell him he needed to wash under his foreskin too He was so sure he was lovely and fresh for me, said as much, and I didn't have the guts to tell him otherwise

Eww livid

Clag nuts stuck to male bum hair anyone?
