I tend towards slatternity so I didn't realise this was A Thing Shock

Luckily it's only high days and holidays nowadays, so it's not as though Id be ploughing through the Bold on Bed sheets. Wink

It's this another MN requirement where I come up wanting?

YABU: wash em straight away you grim creature.

YANBU: Meh, wash Em on the normal processing time, no need to rush.

I guess if you fall into ‘must wash bedsheets after every shag’ camp and you wanted to have sex and couldn’t be bothered changing the sheets after you could do just use a condom that time? Then no mess

Why is it ok for you to say this, Bailey?

"I personally couldn't lie in it and my youngest is only 6 months. It would repulse me to lie in it. To those who insulted me for it yez must be dirt bags to lie in stained bedding"

It's a lighthearted thread. People responded to your "dirtbags" comment in kind.

Don't dish it out etc

Elsewhere on MN l was criticised for washing a bra after one wearing, saying l did not care about the environment.

If l washed all the bedding every time l had sex that would be an environmental disaster. Not to mention the cost of washing tabs.

Beds have sheets and mattress protectors for a reason.

Also outrage the Thing analogy is now lost to mumsnet posterity

@WhenIsItTooLate
Also quite relieved to see some fellow dribblers on here

This got me 🤣🤣🤣

I'm in the bedroom absolutely pissing myself laughing (a sex blanket could probably come in handy actually) and DH is in the lounge room wondering what on earth is going on.

Not sure how to explain this thread to him 😆

BeckonCall · 23/02/2022 10:55

Er, yes it is! A couple that hasn’t had sex for (at least?) 3 months isn’t normal

Narrow-minded and ridiculous.

Doratheexploret · 23/02/2022 10:58

@betwixtlives

Why the shocked face? Is that some kind of jusgement about how often other people have sex?

Er, yes it is! A couple that hasn’t had sex for (at least?) 3 months isn’t normal

Isn’t “normal” for you. For some, not having sex or only having sex every now and then is perfectly fine too.

@user94747295

Only after anal
This is the winner for me. Closely followed by “squirrels”

Fairly common probably.

Lots of women do not want to even think about sex when heavily pregnant, or even up to 2-3 years after having a baby.

And besides, even if a couple have sex twice a year, who gives a shit,as long as they're happy with that?

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 23/02/2022 11:10

No but I tend to squirt and gush quite a bit so end up doing Blush

You're openly happy to be judgemental of complete strangers' sex lives? Thats rather twatty.

Also aren't we 3 weeks into February therefore just 7 weeks into 2022? Have I missed a month somewhere...? Confused

GrumpyTerrier · 23/02/2022 11:25

@zoeFromCity I have one of those for my incontinent dog! It's very snuggly

wtfisgoingonhere21 · 23/02/2022 11:26

Loving the replies about lack of !!!

Think it's featured once or twice in 2022 so far for us but then we have two nocturnal teens and our bedrooms above the lounge so seriously considering the summer house down the garden but it's bloody freezing in there and I've taken the blinds down Grin

HeadingForHome · 23/02/2022 11:28

Sorry but the oddest thing I’ve read is that you’d be happy to lie in a patch of your dad’s spunk and think that’s a normal thing to do

😂 Yer da's spunk!

Oh bloody hell, don't mention the 'A' word! 😂 😂

@Baileys123 but its ok for you to call us dirt bags Hmm

@SmallPrawnEnergy could your user name be the reason why you feel the need to compete in the wetness sexlympics?

Nap1983 · 23/02/2022 11:33

@Rachie20

So what happens when you have sex somewhere other than the bed? Sofa, dining table or whatever? Do you put towels down or adjust things so there’s no risk of contact?
What? You mean other than a planned time with a waterproof sheet and a sex cover… what kinda loose women do you think frequent MN 😂😂😂😂

@GenderCriticalTrumpets

This thread is ace! Snapping the bed sheets lollll

I'm in the do not change them camp. Unless there's been a spillage, but this is easily combated by my cupping my fanny and army rolling out of bed when going straight to the shower*. V attractive my husband is v lucky.

*I have to have a shower straight after or cystitis.

'cupping my fanny and army rolling out of bed' Shock

TBH if you're in there with a whole squadron you may need to change the sheets. Depends if they took their boots off first, I suppose.

WonderfulYou · 23/02/2022 11:43

No as surely some nights you’d be having to change them 2/3 times.

If it’s wet in one area then I’ll put a clean towel on it and sleep on that and then wash the towel the next day.
It sounds pretty grim but I shower in the morning.

What’s the age of your child got to do with it?

Two or three times a night? Your relationship must be very new! 😉
SpecialSexBlanket · 23/02/2022 11:49

I feel like I'm doing sex wrong

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/02/2022 11:50

No way. The bed gets stripped every Friday and we are most likely to have weekend sex, so we are obviously doing it all wrong!
