To ask if you wash your bed linen every time you have sex?

[StandingOvulation]

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

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

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.

@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

You can’t think of any of the many reasons a couple might not have had sex for seven and a half weeks?

It would repulse me to lie in it

I hate to tell you this but...

It actually gets inside you, too.

@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.

This thread has to go in classics , Never mind sex this year, I haven't laughed so much this year .

Intrigued. Those that change the sheets after sex, what do you do about sofa, stairs, etc?

^ they replace their sofa and carpets obviously 😅.[/quote]
Special collection of pvc tablecloths?

Thanks for replying to that ThabksItHasPpckets, I'd missed betwixtlives 's reply to my post. Not that I really know what to say to it. It's quite bizarre how judgemental some people are about how often (or not) other couples have sex.

Thanks for the biology lesson Claire 🤭

How many of you are now googling 'sex blankets' ?

@Baileys123

4th baby not that it makes a difference I'm in the minority for basic hygiene and cleanlines then

Basic hygiene and cleanliness! 😂

Paranoia and OTT!

Nothing happens it’s just gross
Do you really choose to lie your baby down in your husbands semen? Why??

Hellithurt...if you can sleep in dirty, smelly, sex stained bedding then OK. I just have standards and prefer clean bedding..each to their own......

I have mattress cover and extra sheet. I whip the top one off. It’s not about being fussy. Don’t use condoms, lying in the wet patch is not nice. Especially when it goes cold.

Well, its has been a fair while, I will go with no.

But back in the days when I actually had a sex life, there were a few nights of swapping which side I sleep on, as I didn't fancy lying on a damp patch.

What is wrong with a roll of loo roll next to the bed anyway?

As you can tell it has been a while. It's a bit like when I look back now and see all the new paraphernalia available for babies. I think the same applies for sex goods. Special blankets and whatnot.

After reading this thread I really feel like I must have been doing sex incorrectly all these years, as my sheets are never wet or stained afterwards.

This gives me the laugh I so desperately needed today. Thank you!

Good Lord no, I wash them far more often than once every 8 months if I'm lucky

We lay down plastic sheeting then bleach everything thoroughly afterwards.

Upon disconnection, DH reaches down and grabs his boxers that he has just taken off and I used those to make a kind of nappy around my undercarriage while we lie in the post coital bliss. Once the moment has passed, I ninja roll off the bed avoiding contact with the sheets.

These two techniques have allowed us to avoid the worst of the flooding that seems to beset some on here.

Where are you getting the dirty and smelly from? I change the bedding weekly. My sheets are not dirty or smelly. I have more sex than I do sheets, I don't want my sex life to be limited by the amount of bedding I own.

@Baileys123

Ok so for those who have tagged me again to insult me just cuz I do things differently than yourselves...I just prefer not to have to sleep in stained bedding and in case any of my young children need settling in my bed in the night...I dont want them having to lie in it...yes it doesn't leave much mess but it leaves some and if allowed to dry it leaves a stain still. It takes a few minutes to change and can be tumbledried so no massive job. Why is this so alien to so many. The question was asked I just answered. Some of you need to realise how hurtful the comments have been to me and really upset me. I had to have some of them removed. Disgusting behaviour from grown women.

You can't have it both ways @Baileys123

You came on and called people "dirtbags" because they don't rush to change the bedding every time they have a shag and then implied that not doing so was somehow harming their children (do you honestly think a tiny dried stain on a sheet poses a health risk to children?).

And when people point out you sound totally neurotic you accuse them of being "disgusting"... dish it out... take it etc

No. I don't really find it necessary. I'll change the sheet if things get a little wet, but usually it's not needed.
However we don't lounge around in bed after, I'm straight up to the toilet as I really don't want a uti and dh is out to clean himself 😅

@Blossomtoes

"How often you have sex at lunch time on a Wednesday?"

Every Wednesday. In fact, it's every Wednesday, specifically at lunch time and only on Wednesdays. We have a sex ban in place for the other days. And sheets never get changed. Obviously.

I love sleeping with my husband after we have sex, it's lovely, a lovely time to share and not have a military cleaning operation, would rather kill the atmosphere I think. Change sheets every week, so they are not dirty (I don't find mine or my husbands sex fluids dirty), not stained (well very occasionally if time has permitted !) and I have standards. Your standards are OTT, mine are just normal?

What do you do if you have sex in a hotel? Do you call room service to change your sheets?
