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.

When we were young it was 3 times a day, every day. I was too shagged out from that to be concerned about the sheets.

If you have time to wash your bedding every time you have sex, you aren’t having enough sex.

There's enough to do at Christmas without extra washing. The sheets can wait for the annual spring clean (If I remember)

@AnnieSnap

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? 🤷‍♀️
I don't want to worry you, but there's a chance you might have got sexed on by leftover puddles at some point. Apparently.

Or squirrels.

I think.

I remember back in my day, when all this were clean sheets, as far as the eye can see. These days, it's sex pond this and squirrel that and plush blankets laid over the furniture like slankets were going out of fashion.

Kids these days don't know they're born.

Yes but only after the postman has been so DH doesn’t get suspicious.

Change the sheets or shag 3 times a day? 😂
Fluffyhairteddy · 24/02/2022 18:33

Bloody hell I’m not washing my sheets twice a day OP

@Cappuccino17

Yep I do. Lol. Unhygienic if you don't. Almost like weeing in bed and then saying blah its natural lol
It's absolutely nothing like pissing the bed! A teaspoon of jizz that's been coughed (or farted) out is not the same as a couple of litres of weeHmm

Top tip: when I make my bed I layer up 44 bottom sheets... that way I can strip a layer off each time it becomes bejuiced (word borrowed from upthread). This systems last me about 6 days (what with all the sex I have)

If you put a pea under it [note spelling] then you can also tell if you have a royal bedfellow or not by how much they complain.
LoisLane66 · 24/02/2022 18:45

Years ago we used towels specifically to spare bedroom blushes as staining can seep through to the mattress protector and laundering the bottom sheet and protector daily would be a chore.
Nowadays it's down to once a week with OH and he has his laundry collected by a service.

optimistic40 · 24/02/2022 18:47

Nooooooooooo

I like having quite a lot of sex.

Pancakeorcrepe · 24/02/2022 18:47

@Nomorepastry may I ask what he uses instead of bedlinen?

Whenigrowupiwanttobea · 24/02/2022 18:47

Yep after watching numerous CSI programmes where they check the bedding for 'biologicals'!!!!

jillb55 · 24/02/2022 18:51

Yes, once every three years

labazslovesliving · 24/02/2022 18:53

spose if you have loads of chocolate body paint or massage oil you may need to but nope too much trouble talk about a passion killer

Tiddlywinkly · 24/02/2022 18:59

CBA to read whole thread, but can't you just use can't use condoms? Not that difficult

Tigger1895 · 24/02/2022 19:01

@Goldberg213

No. We have sex almost everyday and I dont think I could be dealing with washing the bedding repeatedly.

“Mum why haven’t I got a towel in my bed, like you? Can I have a paw patrol one please?”

[quote Pancakeorcrepe]@Nomorepastry may I ask what he uses instead of bedlinen?[/quote]
Just a bare mattress as he doesn't like the feel of bed sheets. It's a sensory thing I've always thought. Same for clean clothes, he doesn't like the feel of them.

yorkshireteaparty · 24/02/2022 19:08

@DomesticatedZombie Ahhh you see I NEVER hear complaints, and I thought that was a good thing... until now! Goes off to find a pea

Bookloverjay · 24/02/2022 19:31

@Foxglovesandlilacs86

We probably have sex two or three times a week and DH changes our sheets twice a week (it’s his job I never do it), but he would do this if we had no sex at all, he just likes a clean bed!If I had to do it myself I’d probably be fine with once a week tbh

I don’t see where the mess is coming from either, I just go to the toilet a few minutes afterwards and it all comes out in there!

Maybe mumsnet is full of squirrels GrinGrinGrin

Who told you it was a Thing? Do they have a penis beaker as well?
