Sex towel

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??

Sex towel only for periods, otherwise I go to the toilet or try and sleep on his side and move. My OH was puzzled why I put a towel down first until I bloody leaked.

DH and I used to have sex without the towel but I get very...excited. We are very much in favour of a sex towel nowadays - just keep it in arm's reach of the bed, and the living room isn't too far from the bathroom so we can use the towels in there if we're going to be more adventurous! We don't see it as a mood killer at all...but then again we do take a moment to wash beforehand as well.

I don't want to wash the sheets more than once a week and this system keeps the bed fresh!

Zoflorabore · 24/08/2018 22:42

I have sex bedding.

Not washing the living daylights out of my good ones!

When we used a towel it was always a beach towel after ds said I looked like a Weeble Grin he nearly didn't get any sex for a long time for that comment.

Beach towels are for the more generous of arse...

These days though we've got 15 yr old ds watching our every move after he discovered me on my knees last Friday night in the dark with dp.... I was looking for something that may have dropped, think that was the official excuse Blush

Sarahandduck18 · 24/08/2018 22:43

Omg you both wash before sex?

And people think grabbing a towel is a mood killer!

Oh god that's why mn needs an edit button haha

Sex towel is for periods only here, apart from when I needed silver nitrate treatment and often bled a bit. Was glad to get back to normal though!

SteveMcGarrettsBudgieSmugglers · 24/08/2018 22:52

Steve - or maybe a handy packable sex cagoules? now thats a thought Frogscotch7 or one of these laid on its side in case of unsavoury splashes of body fluids:

Sex towel

Washing together can be fun Wink. Besides, I'm not overly keen to go to 3rd base unless I know we're clean! I'm happy to do everything but 3rd without a shower though.

Doesn't negatively affect our sex life - we do it 3 times a week Grin

Charley50 · 24/08/2018 23:00

We've got a cerise pink sex towel for when we have period sex.. I also use it when I wash my hair, but I think I wash it in between uses. BlushWink

SteveMcGarrettsBudgieSmugglers · 24/08/2018 23:01

easterholidays it has been known yes, sofa, shower, floor and garden (I dont have neighbours) Blush Wink

lola212121 · 24/08/2018 23:02

Period sex ? Yuck !

PrtScn · 24/08/2018 23:03

Nah we just do it on his side of the bed so he gets the wet patch 😂

Allthatsnot · 24/08/2018 23:05

Sex bedding? Do you swiftly change it when in the mood or just stick to a routine?
Thats even more of a mood kill than washing before hand.

No towel here even for period or sofa sex and its doesn't get that messy either, we're either doing it wrong or just unhygenic Grin

lola212121 · 24/08/2018 23:07

Omg ! Lots of people engaging in period sex .. fucking gross

Bluelady · 24/08/2018 23:08

Nobody's making you do it, Lola.

Ohyesiam · 24/08/2018 23:09

A sex towel?thats very, I’m, organised.
Can you ask her from me if she wears a bib when she’s giving a blow job.

lola212121 · 24/08/2018 23:10

if you are a squirter then having a towel laid down really isn't going to do much ... why not use waterproof sheet ? And period sex is bloody disgusting . Why not Have sex up the anus hole or just use clit stimulation at time of month instead?

Hohofortherobbers · 24/08/2018 23:11

At last I've found out about the penis beaker. No towel required here just a weird hobble to the loo with thighs clamped

RubaDubMum89 · 24/08/2018 23:16

After a really shitty day, this thread has cheered me right up, I've got a stitch from laughing so much.

FWIW, I've never used a sex towel and just assumed that the folks that did were/were partnered with squirters?

Really, how much jizz can there be that you need a towel to soak it up? Do some of your partners do mega jizz's? Like an unattended hosepipe swinging around in the garden?

Surely, a pair of pants/t shirt etc does the trick?

Absolutely yes to the wet patch not being on your side though! There's nothing worse than disengaging from your post sex cuddle and rolling into a freezing wet patch!

kaytee87 · 24/08/2018 23:30

@lola212121 oh yes because having sex in something that shit comes out it is less disgusting than a bit of blood 😂

Beaverhausen · 24/08/2018 23:33

We have a sheet with a hole in it that we cover me with and the holes is strategically placed.

Beaverhausen · 24/08/2018 23:34

What about puppy training pads or those wee sheet thingies surely that would mop up any excess fluids.

InflagranteDelicto · 24/08/2018 23:44

We tend to grab a couple of towels because I have discovered that when enjoying good sex I leave a very big puddle! They get dumped by the bed (the dog likes to lie on them Hmm) and into the laundry basket the next morning.

Don't do period sex. My periods are a bloodbath without any help!

lola212121 · 24/08/2018 23:49

@kaytee87 bit of blood ? 🤣🤣🤣 ok , maybe I'm a heavy bleeder 😁 if I had sex on my period it would look like a murder had taken place I'm sure 🤣🤣 and there's no crap getting splattered about during anal 🤣 people douche .

Donthugmeimscared · 24/08/2018 23:56

I'm probably going to sound dim but what is douche
