A simple question really.
If you have sex on the sofa in your living room, would you clean the sofa afterwards?

My friend thinks no, I think yes. She thinks I'm being unreasonable but the idea of family/friends sitting on the sofa afterwards, to me is icky.
What are your views?

Literally never sitting on anyone’s sofa again 😫
do you never stay in a hotel?
FindingTheImpossible · 12/12/2021 20:00

I'm surprised at people asking why I was talking to my friend about this. Do you not talk to your friends about sex?
And by talking about sex I don't mean you include all the finer details, lol unless you've got that kind of friendship.

Doesn’t anyone just have spontaneous sex sometimes?

No, don’t think I ever have actually

That's why we have a set of rubber sheets in the music stool.

(i assumed everone had a stash of these, do you not?)

And imagine having to tell people you conceived thanks to a sofa!

Doesn’t anyone just have spontaneous sex sometimes? I can’t imagine getting it on with dh and then suddenly bolting off to get a towel out of the airing cupboard to protect the sofa 😳😆
I’m asexual, so no, I don’t have se at all.

Same. Didn’t need to know this!
Bagelsandbrie · 12/12/2021 20:04

@IWillFindYou well that’s absolutely fine but I clearly mean people that do have sex.

Shock

I don’t think I’ve ever “planned” to have sex.

I like to just go as the mood takes me!

Watchingpeppa12 · 12/12/2021 20:09

@HolidayTime2021 you’d hope a hotel bed had been cleaned ? We are talking about not cleaning up, anyway clearly joking 🙃

Midlifemusings · 12/12/2021 20:13

No, in addition to fluids, that is a lot of dead skin cells and sweat going into the fabric of the sofa. We don't sit naked on the sofa either t eat or watch tv. I just think there should be washable fabric between human bodies and furniture

Hrpuffnstuff1 · 12/12/2021 20:13

We broke our sofa once having sex.🤣🤣
Yes we clean it.
Or we'll whip summat out to cover up, too messy otherwise.
Sofa cost us a lot of money ..

We need to bolt off to get it precisely because it was spontaneous.

It takes just a few seconds. We can wait that long.

Softwonder · 12/12/2021 20:16

We don't make any mess when we have sex. It's all kind of contained in me until I go to the loo afterwards. 🤷🏻‍♀️

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 12/12/2021 20:17

We have a leather sofa so some wet wipes and we're good to go

You plan it every time? Really?
100problems · 12/12/2021 20:40

I do talk to friends about sex, but in many conversations not once has the issue of getting the vax out come up.

Simonjt · 12/12/2021 20:59

@Offmyfence yeah, well, either I do or he does
