Sex towel

[beeefcake]

Not really an AIBU but I wanted opinions on this.

A colleague of mine told me that she lays a towel down every time her and her husband have sex. She was pretty disgusted with me when I confessed that I don't undertake in such a practice, so I was wondering; am I doing this wrong?! Is a sex towel a thing??

Yes obv. Please tell us you at lealeast have a penis beaker.

Does she carry it about everywhere in case the mood takes them?

I tend not to discuss my sex life with colleagues.

Finally, the perfect accesory for the penis beaker!

You clearly are not a Douglas Adams fan.

I was just about to say about the penis beaker but you beat me to it tootruetobegood. Lol 😂

DP and I introduced a sex towel a few months ago, as I was constantly bleeding thanks to hormonal contraception. Without a sex towel we wouldn't have had sex for about 3 months (else ruined a lot of bedding!). That said, we are now back to towel-less sex and I am happier without it

Not for me. It's the quick roll off the bed and to the loo for me.
My friend however does use a towel. I always thought that was a bit weird.

No towel here; what a faff!

I assumed this thread was going to be about the clean-up towel used after sex!
Can't say I've ever laid one down, what does she do about spontaneous throes of passion??

She does this in one of the Judy Bloom books. I think because she’s a virgin? Maybe your colleague is too.

Beyonce also references a sex towel in her song Partition. So there’s that.

Not for me. It's the quick roll off the bed and to the loo for me.

I know it's not what you meant but I've now got a mental image of some random naked woman rolling all the way to the loo.

Only if having sex whilst on a period

Same, only if whilst on a period

I only do if it's just before or just after AF just in case. The rest of the time we don't bother, although if I've literally just changed the bedding I might consider it.

We have a tarpaulin.

Good lord no! More admin than is required whilst in the throes of passion.

What is a penis beaker dare I ask ?!!

I tend to favour a canoe to go with the flow 😂

Oh my God, I am glad I am not the only one who uses a 'love Towel'!

How to kill the moment.

You are being very unreasonable discussing your sex life with a colleague.
As far the towel it doesn’t sound very heat of the moment or passionate to me?

How would it stay put in the throw of passion humping like dogs ?

I wrap all my furniture in cling film then cover with dust sheets... pin shower curtains over the curtains... ideally id take them down completely, fold them and put them in the cupboard but sometimes I like to keep things spontaneous and not kill the mood.

Yes for period sex. And we do refer to the towel used for clean-up as a "sex towel" also. E.g. "don't dry your face on that, it was las night's sex towel!".

I also turn all the picture in frames to face the wall
