Sex and showers

NC. Husband showers once a day, in the evening. He refuses to have sex with me after he's had a shower, because he doesn't want to get sweaty and dirty after showering. Apparently showering again is out of the question.

I don't want to have sex with him before he showers, because he wants foreplay and I don't fancy going 'down there' after he's been almost 24 hours without a shower. If I try and have sex with him after he's had a shower, he says I'm only doing it because he's clean now.

I shower morning and evening, and don't like foreplay on myself unless I've recently washed.

This all sounds so ridiculous but sex has become a rare occurrence because of this. Not sure if I'm being OCD and unreasonable or if he is?

I won't do BJ on a dirty cock. Just gross. Fully expect it showered and fresh as I am myself. If no shower then just wank

Have none of you ever had sex first thing in a morning just as your waking? Or spontaneously or do you stop and say “hang on I need a shower?”

PeterPanGoesWrong · 08/03/2020 16:11

Gosh! I wonder how people in the ‘olden days’ had sex? Even in the 1970’s a daily shower was not the norm.
Just admit your relationship is over! I’d still want to screw my Dh if we were stranded on a dessert island with no showers.

sunshinesupermum · 08/03/2020 16:14

What PeterPan says! Daily showers are quite a new thing lol. My DP doesn't shower before we DTD, which is often in the morning, but he isn't expecting a BJ either.

People used to have one bath a week when I was a kid! People still used to make babies. Seems more of a sex issue than a hygiene one tbh.

Compromise and have a golden shower maybe??? Two birds, one stone etc

@Changedusername76 of course. But if you showered the night before (after sex) then you are good to go again in the morning. It’s called being clean???

category12 · 08/03/2020 16:27

He don't get oral if he don't wash first. That's fair enough. I'd stick with that.

RonaldMcDonald · 08/03/2020 16:29

If he cannot respect your need for hygiene get a new fella

Can’t tell if you’re joking, or whether you think a golden shower is something else 😂

Splitsunrise · 08/03/2020 16:39

Well this is all definitely ending up in the Daily Fail........

🤣

Soubriquet · 08/03/2020 16:45

I really hope the person who said golden shower meant that naively and not seriously Grin

@PeterPanGoesWrong
"Gosh! I wonder how people in the ‘olden days’ had sex? Even in the 1970’s a daily shower was not the norm."

People got over body smells, a lot of people had body odour. Ciggies covered it up. But men would come in from work and have a sink wash.
Running a flannel over your bits, would have been done. You'd boil a kettle.

This limiting of washing is really strange, in this day and age.

OP, i agree that there's a, reason he is avoiding sex. He's being disrespectful and it would get to the deal breaker stage, if it was me.

Nowt worse than a cheesy dick or fishy fanny.,

Two words. Penis beaker.

@Fr0g

Hand sanitiser? Ow! Ow!

Shock
Ruby8719 · 08/03/2020 16:58

Two words - Baby - wipes.

Shower before sex - sex - baby wipe clean up - fall asleep - shower in the morning.

sunshinesupermum · 08/03/2020 16:59

Nowt worse than a cheesy dick or fishy fanny. LOL

MrsSteveMcDonald · 08/03/2020 17:20

Sex with unwashed DH is one thing, putting a penis that he's been pissing out of all day without washing in my mouth is another one entirely.

MrsMcKitty · 08/03/2020 17:22

Both of you have a wash beforehand. Not a shower just a wash.

spacepoppers · 08/03/2020 17:25

Some interesting points on UTI's. When I was a student midwife, a consultant gynaecologist came to give us a talk. She had a PhD, and specialised in womens sexual health. She said the single best thing that a woman can do after sex is to do a wee.
It's always stayed with me, and I always do :)

Snuffkindle · 08/03/2020 17:26

Clean is definitely best all round. I don't see why he couldn't have a quick morning shower if he'd got sweaty the night before. Seems a bit odd of him really

EmptyOrchestra · 08/03/2020 17:30

DH has to shower (and wash his hands) before anything can happen - he only has to look at me lasciviously and I get a UTI (regardless of peeing). We used to be more spontaneous, but then I’m out of action in pain for days waiting for antibiotics to kick in. Rather takes the fun out of it.

Anothernick · 08/03/2020 17:34

IIRC science tells us that there are far more dodgy bacteria in our mouths than on our genitals. And nobody would expect their partner to clean their teeth before kissing them .... would they?
