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.

@CharlotteRose90

With a partner id wash them every couple days like normal. If I was seeing someone new it would be every time. No kids In my house so it’s just me etc.
You change your sheets every couple of days!?

Doing mine once a week feels like a herculean task!

*Sex outdoors? Lots of naturally absorbent surfaces ...

And what about the squirrels!!!*

They'd do. They're quite absorbent.

Well, the greys are. Reds are just that bit too small to soak it all up.

I change my bed linen weekly. I have two sets of linen for our bed and don’t tumble dry so changing the bed every day or two would be inconvenient (and costly in terms of water & electricity). BUT we’ve used condoms for the last 18+ years - I think that makes a difference.

@CornflakesOnTheSolesOfHerShoes

If anything, DH appears to find clean sheets a turn-on, so they get changed before, not after...
I understand him! Nice crisp clean sheets (only happens once a week though, that's the sheets!)
MissPicky · 23/02/2022 17:42

@RVN123

After ensuring DH scrubs his under-carriage with Domestos and a brillo pad, we quickly do the evil deed and then the sheets are whisked off and bundled into the garden BBQ where they are promptly squirted with lighter fluid and set on fire. We then both have showers, before a quick bath, then a final shower before I make up the bed with my 8 zillion thread count sheets from The White Company. If he need the loo DH is sent to the petrol station as no-one is allowed to shit in my en-suite. It's grim.
OMG that is so funny!

@zoeFromCity

We have a special leak proof blanket, which we throw on top of whatever bedding we have. It has cool and warm sides and feels special. I definitely don't want to sleep in wet or having to change sheets immediately after. Sometimes we let it dry and air, or run a short program in washing machine.

[quote Scbchl]@Benjispruce5 have you heard of squirting? How do you want to position a tissue to stop that. Ffs some of these comments acting stupid and not knowing how wet patches come to be because you never had one.[/quote]
Yeah I suppose if you're into squirting it may be a bit different, but presumably you take extra steps with that.same as you would if you were into a lot of food play. Or any other type of mess making sex.

I assume OP is not talking about squirting, but I could be wrong.

I think she's talking about a regular shag?

Could be cormorants by now, to be frank, fuck knows.

How disgusting! You burn it on the BBQ? I presume you then serve your children burgers from that? Why don't you have an incinerator at the end of the garden?

Men who watch porn are "into" squirting.

For Women who do this involuntarily whilst aroused, it's just a part of sex. It isn't a huge shower of juices blasting out of your vagina as porn would have people believe.

"""How disgusting! You burn it on the BBQ? I presume you then serve your children burgers from that? Why don't you have an incinerator at the end of the garden?""

How DARE you suggest I feed my child "burgers". They will be eating aubergines stuffed with hazelnuts and quinoa the same as the rest of us. Obviously I meant I burn the sheets in our outdoor wood burner using sustainably sourced kiln dried hand cut logs.
I just said BBQ as I was trying to dumb down my routine for the masses.
We obviously have a dedicated wood burner for the be-juiced devil sheets.

Spidey66 · 23/02/2022 18:05

@Goldrill

I wash my sheets way more often than I have sex. They'd be properly gross if I left them that long.
Grin

Same here!

I'm sorry, as if anyone in their right mind would hand a child a burger.

@TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo people like you are the reason attitudes to sex in this country are so warped and weird. It's unbelievably sad.
