to ask how many of you actually dress up nicely in bed

When you are having sex with your partner?

I’m doing an informal survey on behalf of my twat of a husband who told me that the attached pyjama bottoms are not sexy enough bedtime attire for me to wear for when I get in to bed, on the off chance that we may have sex (we are ttc so that’s happening more regularly than normal at the moment)

Am I unreasonable to wear something like this before bed or even god forbid, TO bed, when i know intercourse is on the cards?

I'm 23 and I have never dressed up to go to bed with a man. I don't feel comfortable in all that "sexy" stuff. I like big knickers, nighties that are too big for me, and baggy pyjamas. Funnily enough, that never stopped my partner.

Men don't wear sexy things to bed, and it's not expected of them.

I don't understand the point of stockings and suspenders and basques and stuff like that... Unless you're doing a strip-tease or loads of sexy clothes foreplay. Surely it all just comes off 5 mins after you've put it on? Can't be doing with the hassle Grin

i wouldn’t worry i don’t dress up for him he doesn’t for me

MilkyYay · 24/11/2022 23:06

Ew. I don't get sexy lingerie. Uncomfortable & pointless.

Surely the sexiest thing is nothing at all?

If I or we have plans to have sex then I’ll get into bed either naked or dress up in lingerie etc.
If I’m just getting into bed with no aim for sex, then I’m wearing frumpy pjs. Spontaneous sex may or may not happen but I feel the cold.
DH sleeps naked every night, regardless of temperature or plans for sex.

Thinking back (many years ago) to when we were trying for children . We had so much fun , I could have worn a potato sack 'cos we were pervy and it did not matter . If I could do it all again 😜

VestaTilley · 25/11/2022 07:21

Definitely don’t do that.

Your DH is being a twat.

Givemepinkgin · 25/11/2022 07:31

I don’t wear naughty lingerie to bed every night … but I do wear nice sexy ish pyjamas, Victoria secret or ted baker silky pjs, and spray some seductive perfume on to be sexy for DH should he be in the mood for some sexy time😉… No complaints yet, and the pyjamas are comfortable and sexy

Sometimes I forget how long I've been on Mumsnet then a zombie thread appears in the top of the 'threads I'm on' list 🙈

Blimey, if all went well the OP could have a 3yo by now 😂
