Dh has just said he wouldnt be bothered if we didn't shower before sex. I wouldn't be comfortable being intimate if I hadn't. AIBU or is he?

How do you wipe wee all over? One good wipe, front to back, should suffice.

I meant you are wiping it on to your skin. There is little point in pretending that wiping piss with toilet roll removes it from your skin. It doesn't.

Hopeisallineed · 01/11/2021 14:44

I think people leaving ‘toilet paper remnants ’ are wiping too hard! Try using a blot not a wipe! @meltingappointment it’s just a bit of wee! Heavens if you are exchanging bodily fluids, surely wee is the least of your worries?!!! 😂

It may be the least of your worries but it's a genuine concern of mine so please don't laugh. Tasting piss on a vulva is about the most unattractive thing that can happen for me during sex.

I'm like you OP, I don't really like to dtd without showering. Personal preference. He doesn't have to but I like to feel clean.

Hopeisallineed · 01/11/2021 15:31

I’m sorry you have hang ups, I’ve never once ‘tasted wee’ on a vulva or a man’s penis so can’t really understand the problem. I do think spontaneous sex is one of the best things going though…

I have, and it's grim and also awkward to say "er you smell of wee" Men think they can spend the day shaking the drips off then want oral when they get home... no. Go and wash!

I don't have 'hang ups' because don't want to lick someone's piss Hmm

Hopeisallineed · 01/11/2021 16:00

Oh jeez. Lighten up.

meltingappointment · 01/11/2021 16:13

@Hopeisallineed

Oh jeez. Lighten up.

You accused me of having hang ups, now you want me to lighten up?

You do realise that issue there is entirely you?

Clementineapples · 01/11/2021 16:41

The wiping wee all over?

How do you wipe wee all over? Mine comes out of the same place, is wiped on that place and done lol
Never tasted or smelt wee on a man or woman, I like to think most people clean up after the loo properly and wash properly that they don’t need to have a full shower before being intimate.

Hopeisallineed · 01/11/2021 16:45

@Clementineapples exactly this. I don’t know what some people on here are doing, but I don’t think most people smear it all over themselves. It’s never been an issue for me.

DameMaureen · 01/11/2021 16:52

FGS some people smell of piss when you stick your nose down there - it's a fact . Who cares how frigging clean you are . 😂

bubblesbubbles11 · 01/11/2021 17:20

when i was having sex i went through phases of suffering from awful UTIs. I found having a shower before and after sex minimised these so often tried to do that (but not always if it was spontanous sex).

meltingappointment · 01/11/2021 17:24

I don’t know what some people on here are doing,

It's not me, or anyone else on here doing it. If I, and others, have come across genitals that have a pee smell it is because of the other person, not us!

I definitely care. I don't know why that is strange tbh. I considered it normal not to like the smell of piss.

Feelingoktoday · 01/11/2021 17:31

I never had this as a problem when I was younger. Sex anytime anywhere. Never had a problem. But I didn’t date dirty men. However as I’ve got older and have been on online dating I’ve realised how unhygienic most men are. What’s with the shaking and not using toilet roll? I’ve taught my sons to wipe the wee and not just shake but that’s been possible because they don’t live with their dad.

I've read, some people prefer it, if they are into watersports
DameMaureen · 02/11/2021 00:48

@meltingappointment I agree with you . I worded it badly . I meant who gives a shit about how clean @Hopeisallineed is .

DameMaureen · 02/11/2021 00:49

and @Clementineapples being so pristine 🙄

Simonjt · 02/11/2021 05:07

No I wouldn’t either OP, if it was just using hands on the front area okay, anything would be a decent strip wash and other hygiene measures at a minimum.

Hopeisallineed · 02/11/2021 07:25

@DameMaureen funnily enough I do. 😂

flippertyop · 02/11/2021 07:44

I think that's weird - you get in the mood and then say hold on I need a shower?

felulageller · 02/11/2021 07:55

It sounds like you are quite routine bound.

Do you like spontaneity in other areas of life?

stereeotype · 02/11/2021 08:10

YABU, my DH insists on this and as a result gets less sex because it completely kills the mood.

chaosmaker · 03/11/2021 08:15

I've never understood front to back. How does that work? Also the sexiest, most exciting thing ever was in my 20's and had a guy I fancied go down on me. I did warn him about the very heavy period I was having and the tampon but he didn't care and carried on anyway. Given that sex drive often increases during your period it made me feel really attractive that it wasn't a barrier for him. Shame I couldn't kiss him afterwards though! He was just a great attentive lover generally that loved to give pleasure. Still miss him some days, decades on.
