Aibu?

Had guests to stay last night. It gets mentions casually the next day that he sleeps naked, I laugh and say something along the lines of "only in your own bed I bloody hope!"
..at which point he gets a bit embarrassed and she says "he can't stand wearing pj's!"

We swiftly move on and I mourn the innocence of my pretty sanderson sheets.

Aibu to think you should at least wear undies when sleeping in someone else's home?

Or am I being a prude?

Reading this wearing bra, pants, vest, pjs and socks. I am always fucking freezing, and my tits need controlling at night or they flop about painfully and create weird sweat tunnels. But maybe should go to the doctor about my thyroid or something! Didn't realise everyone else in the world was naked in bed. Don't you hate it when your naked stomach flops over onto your thigh when you lie on your side though? Blech.

Secret I have a bit of a wobbly stomach and it rests on my thigh in bed and I can put my hand in between them to keep it warm, like a little pocket Blush

Secretblackandmidnighthag · 26/10/2014 18:40

cherry that is the best use of stomach flop I ever heard! Excellent Grin

Nofunkingworriesmate · 26/10/2014 18:45

I'm a proud naked sleeper

You're a closet prude

His Percy was aaaaallllll over your sheets eeeeeek! :)

What are guests who are a couple sharing a bed supposed to do if they really, really want to get intimate? If they opt for alternative acts that may result in body fluids being spilled, is that a) better, b) just as bad or c) worse?

One option might be to go and do whatever they need/want to do in the bathroom where surfaces may be more easily cleaned? But unless they are considerately quick, it may inconvenience other members of the household.

There is also the risk of soap-related injuries....

Secretblackandmidnighthag · 26/10/2014 18:54

Have you checked in case he left the imprint of his willy winkle in your Imperial Leather, OP?

Catsize · 26/10/2014 18:59

marianne, how about they just, erm, don't?

chasingtheegg · 26/10/2014 19:03

I put down the gin briefly to eat me bangers and mash, londonrach .. but I'm back now and you guys have had me howling reading the rest of the thread.

I've had a really good think about this and have decided a few things:

Ignorance is bliss- I'd have happily lived forever without knowing.

And it's not so much that he actually did it because obviously everything gets washed. .it's that I had to strip the bed, thus touching all the rubbed - against - his - willy sheets. Bleurghhh.

And if I'm a prude because I don't want you have a 'quiet' fuck* in my spare room then so be it, behave yourselves... I don't need to hear that!

*it's never bloody quiet

And in case the above didn't confirm for you that I'm 28 going on 80.. I have a bunch of different slippers that I coordinate to my various pajama combos. I loveeeee them.

I sleep naked in warm weather. And my beautiful, soft, white, god knows how many 'thread count' sheets are always pristine. Though maybe a few cat hairs now and then ...

HappyAgainOneDay · 26/10/2014 19:15

In Victorian times (eg Christmas Carol), people wore clothes in bed (nighties, hats and socks) because they would be cold otherwise - no central heating or electric heaters or double glazing in those days (OK they had warming pans or stone hot water bottles). Good God! I've said that and, in the 1960s, we had no central heating so had nighties, pyjamas and single glazing as well as rubber hot water bottles.

Now, I'm so warm when I go to bed - and the central heating has turned itself off for the night = I am warm enough to wear nothing in bed.

People these days don't know they were born ......

Ah! I see the word 'pajamas'. That tells us something, doesn't it?

Tauriel1 · 26/10/2014 19:20

I sleep naked with dressing gown next to bed. But, a relative had to stay in hospital recently after being sent straight away by GP. My Mum had to take them an overnight bag in, made me think I should but a pair of PJs in case it ever happens to me.

LuluJakey1 · 26/10/2014 19:21

I don't want anyone shagging in our guest room- I sleep in there sometimes if DH is snoring. And if he wakes up he comes along for a cuddle and sometimes a middle of the night sleepy shag. I don't want other people doing it in our second best bed.

Really only PIL stay and I don't think they bother much any more, certainly not when they stay with us.

We are very careful about doing it at PIL. Don't want to leave messy sheets. Usually do it with DH's used T shirt underneath us.

squoosh · 26/10/2014 19:22

Maybe you need to patrol your house like a town crier bawling 'NO SHAGGING IN MY SPARE ROOM' on the hour, every hour. That'll put 'em off their stride.

SirChenjin · 26/10/2014 19:25

Can adult people really not control themselves for one or two nights as guests in someone else's home? Yeuch to leaving semen and vaginal fluids for someone else to clean up (at least have the decency to use a condom) - and be aware that your quiet sex is NEVER quiet.

chasingtheegg · 26/10/2014 19:30

Squoosh, I prefer the more subtle approach. I have one of those swirly vinyl sticker signs on the wall that's really in these days. It says: "don't shag in this bed, or you'll be dead"

it's on the wall the bed backs on to as a constant reminder. Rhymes and everyfin.

SirChenjin · 26/10/2014 19:32

I prefer to sit myself on the end of the guest bed. All night long. That soon stops all their thoughts of shagging in my bed.

Secretblackandmidnighthag · 26/10/2014 19:38

I didn't know you weren't supposed to shag in spare rooms! Can't you hang a few choice pictures to put people off their stride - the Chuckle Brothers, Cliff Richard with his top off, Donald Trump smiling? Or a clown statue.

catgirl1976 · 26/10/2014 19:38

I sleep naked and shag in guest beds.

I had never imagined this would be an issue for anyone, anywhere.

In fact, I didn't realise people actually sleep in pjs. They are clothes to put on before you can be arsed to get dressed but when you are a) cold or b) in company or c) in a house with no blinds. Not for actually sleeping in. That is what your skin is for.

Also - if you sleep in pjs, what happens when you want to have sex in the night? Imagine all the faffing around getting undressed Confused

Secretblackandmidnighthag · 26/10/2014 19:41

Are you permanently naked, catgirl in case your DP wants a shag?

MarianneSolong · 26/10/2014 19:43

If I'm changing sheets after somebody has stayed, I don't do an inspection, or start judging. (If someone had leaked during really a heavy period or some kind of accident involving the loss of control or bladder, then I daresay I would notice.)

But it if someone sheds a few hairs or secretes a bit of fluid, it's not really going to bother me. Similarly if people want to have sex I'd regard that as fine as long as they didn't make a full scale Wagnerian opera out of it, or attempt to do their stuff on the living room floor while I'm trying to watch Strictly.

SirChenjin · 26/10/2014 19:44

Oh yes, - the utter faff of getting undressed for sex. It's amazing that babies are ever conceived really, isn't it Hmm

Jolleigh · 26/10/2014 19:45

I don't really understand the no shagging thing either. It's not like someone else will be sleeping in your sex-smell sheets if the host is washing the bedding anyway. It's never bothered me when people have a cheeky shag while staying over.

SirChenjin · 26/10/2014 19:49

Yuck - leaving your penisy/vaginal sheets with semen and sweat on them for family or friends to wash.

ClashCityRocker · 26/10/2014 19:51

Yup, in for guest room shagging.

And I assume my guests shag. If we have geusts, we're all probably drunk and in a holiday mood.

ClashCityRocker · 26/10/2014 19:51

How do you all go to the toilet in public?
