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.

@wompom

Just saw this on Reddit & thought of this thread! No need to change the sheets, or sleep on wet patches!
Yeah but you'd want to be very careful you don't slip getting out of bed.

I think it depends on the guy. I've been with one guy, no wet patches
Another was like a flood large patch that I couldn't have slept on comfortably

Yes I think it varies depending on the couple (and even within the couple).

When I was living with an ex a long time ago some friends of his came to stay for one night. They left really early the next day without saying goodbye. We were a bit surprised and thought it quite rude. But when we went to change the bedding we found they’d left a wet patch in the middle of the bed about 4ish inches across. We realised they must have been embarrassed and left.

Moral of the thread: some couples make a wet patch, others don’t!

Just checking. I often have sex on the sofa. Do l need to buy a new settee afterwards? 😂

thefamous5 · 24/02/2022 09:35

Change the sheets?

We were full hazmat suits with just a small hole in around the nether regions.

Dispose of the bedding after every touch.

Fumigate the room

Use a bottle of bleach.

Fuck off do I. A bit of body fluid isn't doing to hurt anyone.

MistyForTheWin · 24/02/2022 09:39

Definitely changed the sheets every time as we use a lot of baby oil. Also, there's always a wet patch after i climb off dh, it just sort of slips out before I have chance to get a tissue 🤷‍♀️

Howabsolutelyfanfuckingtastic · 24/02/2022 09:46

I wash our bedding and the children's bedding once a week. I don't have time to wash it every time we have sex, some weeks that can be daily. Who actually has the time to wash their bedding daily,plus the waste of water and electricity is ridiculous! Put a towel down to protect the bed (if ur not too caught up in the moment 🤣).

Hazmat suits 🤣🤣 F*ck it, just burn the bed every time you have sex!

Sorry but i think you do. Either that or buy a carpet and upholstery cleaner and fully clean it straight after sex every single time, never leave it until the next day (even if you're both tired) as that would not be good enough 🤣🤣

Just sit on his belly till it's all out, job done Wink

Just had my on line supermarket delivery. They have substituted persil for bedsheets! 😱

Myturnatlast · 24/02/2022 13:28

I keep misreading 'towel' as 'trowel' which makes for an even weirder thread, if that's possible 🤣

TinselTinsel · 24/02/2022 17:36

Sex? What's that ? Grin

Rondy · 24/02/2022 17:41

Once a week all the bedding is washed. If you have a "wet spot" just use a towel.

Fluffmum · 24/02/2022 17:43

What! Rubbish. How much body fluid is coming out??? No wash them when required and use a wet wipe to mop up any spillage 😂

Rightyouarelove · 24/02/2022 17:50

God no, do the deed on his side and then he deals with any spillage Smile. My bedding is every two weeks (which I am sure will utterly horrify done).

AnnieSnap · 24/02/2022 17:51

Bloody hell, I’m 63. I’ve been married 3 times and lived with a 4th guy and I have 3 (now very adult) kids. I’ve never done this. I didn’t even know it was a thing! What kind of harm do people think might have befallen us? 🤷‍♀️

WhiteJellycat · 24/02/2022 17:55

Nah. Sex towel surely? Shock

keeptheaspidistra · 24/02/2022 17:57

I can't possibly do 7+ loads of washing every single day...

Nomorepastry · 24/02/2022 17:59

Nope he doesn't come round mine, it's always done at his although he doesn't use bed linen. I don't stay round there often.

Kittysummer · 24/02/2022 18:01

Never have sex in a bed, chose other locations!

Justrestingmyeyes1 · 24/02/2022 18:04

Nope!

Mandyjack · 24/02/2022 18:09

Sometimes I'll just change the bottom sheet not the whole bed but it's changed weekly anyway and we probably don't have sex as often as the bed is changed. We've been married 36yrs

IcyWinterWonderland · 24/02/2022 18:11

Well no, because I never have sex. Most of the time I just despise men so much.
