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.

This thread is fascinating to me. I've never had a particularly active sex life - I married young to a man who's somewhat repressed when it comes to sex. I also don't have many friendships where we'd discuss our sex lives so I've no idea what's "normal" for other people!

When we were TTC we did change the sheets afterwards, not for hygiene purposes, I'm about as slatternly as it gets but because there was a wet patch that was sufficiently large that it was difficult for either of us to avoid sleeping in it & it was uncomfortable. I had no idea this wasn't a normal part of sex for other people & wondered how other people managed to sleep in cold, soggy beds! 😂 There's nothing wrong with my pelvic floor either! No idea which of us is producing abnormal amounts of fluid but it's definitely not coming from any porn-style sex sessions!

Its because of the squirrels Grin
We need a squirrel smiley!

If squirrels were at it on my bed I'd probably change the sheets, dirty beasts GrinGrin

What would a leek proof blanket be used for?

Warding off Welsh vegan vampire killers?

What's with all the e obtuse people here. Children being in a wet patch in the bed after sex is nasty, that's not OTT to say!!Envy

thepeopleversuswork · 23/02/2022 14:22

To be totally safe here why not put a tarp down beforehand? Absolutely leak (and leak) proof. No messing about.

DomesticatedZombie · 23/02/2022 14:22

Those embarrassing vichyssoise moments

Leekproof sheets are helpful for when you really aren't in the mood for yet more plant-based sex.

Have you actually read the thread? Most people don't have a wet patch in the first place.

I read 'trap'.

Seems a bit extreme.

Yes, I have, it's been discussed since the very start. This shouldn't have to be debated at all

I have had squirrels shagging outside my bedroom home office window. Really loudly. That's a passion killer and a half.

Case in point @Momijin, good timing!

When I’m not heavily pregnant we had sex most nights, and I hate changing bedding - so no way!
