Do people really make their partners "wash their willy"?

Years ago I was friends with a girl who casually mentioned in a conversation that when she and her boyfriend are in the throws, and she decides to perform fellatio (great word), she'd make him wash his willy first.

I've now, ten years later, stumbled across a similar comment being made on a TV show I'm watching. This time the guy is required to do so before any sexual encounter.

Maybe I'm just lucky because my husband is a well-kept, clean guy...

AIBU to think that willy washing before sex etc. would take away from the moment?

Same way like if I am in for a treat I make sure I am clean.
Unless it's a quickie or similar, we wash.

We both bathe in disinfectant and hold hands only whilst wearing disposable gloves.

Nobody would even question the logic if a man asked a woman to wash her vagina before oral sex. Don’t see why women need to suffer through unwashed dicks if men won’t suffer through the same.

KnickerBockerAndrew · 14/10/2019 18:33

Am shocked that people want it washed! I don't ever think of willies as unclean if the bloke has a shower once a day...
The only time I'll want it washed is if we've had sex and we're finishing off with a BJ. I don't like to taste myself on him (although even that's not a massive bug deal tbh)

i don't often ever deliver these days but if i was going to he'd definitely need to be freshly showered. any passion that would have helped to jump that hurdle is truly dead with a toddler and another in the oven. not because he's dirty, he's not, but i couldn't put anything other than a fresh cock in there no no no.

should make a bit more effort with that as it would make his day but my gag reflex is unwilling, as is the rest of my body which really just needs to be horizontal.

I've got a decontamination dry shower installed in the porch for this.
Also use it for any workmen wanting to use the loo.

Schuyler · 14/10/2019 18:57

Yes but a sink wash is unacceptable, he must bleach it 3 times and I oversee that he does it properly.

honeyloops · 14/10/2019 19:05

Jesus this place never fails to amaze me regarding the difference between people - if I knew my OH was filthy I would suggest a shower before sex, but otherwise, he showers once a day as I do and we've never stopped before sex to go and wash up (unless we are both properly gross). Clearly we're disgusting haha!

I've never known anyone in my couple of decades of sexual activity to insist on a pre-shag wash unless you'd been in the gym (and even then, sweaty man, nice), so evidently I move in similarly grotty company.

Side note: an ex of mine absolutely preferred it if I hadn't showered before he went down. Takes all sorts!

Dip in Zoflora does wonders.

Another one with a circumcised dh. He literally doesn't smell or taste of anything really and never has. It is a bonus.

Oblomov19 · 14/10/2019 19:19

Never. Ever. Have!

Absolutely hilarious, I spat my cuppa tea out! GrinGrin

Celebelly · 14/10/2019 19:20

Er, no. Odd

EC22 · 14/10/2019 19:22

I have never had to ask this of my husband.
Ever.
Nor him, me.
I would die of embarrassment.

EC22 · 14/10/2019 19:23

He has a foreskin!

Celebelly · 14/10/2019 19:23

I don't get how this works. Do you start foreplay then send him off to wash his bits? Do you schedule sex so you can wash beforehand?  We just have sex spontaneously and assume the other person is generally clean, which they are. I don't mind a bit of sweat though Wink

ALongHardWinter · 14/10/2019 19:24

Yes,they make him use a penis beaker. Or is that for after sex?!

Tweetingmagpie · 14/10/2019 19:25

I wouldnt stop doing what we were doing to go and wash BUT we are both very clean, shower in the morning and bath at night, so it’s not an issue.

Sleepyquest · 14/10/2019 19:25

Yes!! He's been sweating all day, doing manual labour and going to the toilet. I would also have a bath/wash if I were to be given oral sex. It's good manners!!

thisnamechanger · 14/10/2019 19:28

I wouldn't ask but wouldn't do oral on him in first thing in the morning either.

GimmeBread · 14/10/2019 19:29

Sink dangle! I love it! 😀

Windydaysuponus · 14/10/2019 19:30

Scrub around the foreskin with a loo brush!!
Seriously if you refer to it as a willy you are too young for sexual activity imo.

AlexaAmbidextra · 14/10/2019 19:33

Don’t any of you ever get home from a night out absolutely gagging for it and rip each other’s clothes off in the hallway? Do you really hold your hand up crying stop, we must both ensure we’re ‘fresh’? What a passion killer.

Millymollymandybestie · 14/10/2019 19:34

I can’t believe the amount of people who do this😳

Pinkblueberry · 14/10/2019 19:34

Maybe I'm just lucky because my husband is a well-kept, clean guy...

Same. I think it’s a bit weird - and if my DH told me to go to wash my fanny before going down there I think I’d be quite offended actually Confused (does your friend do that also btw??)
