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.

Yes - sad but true I sort of claim the sheet was beeding wasted anyway...but yes I always change the sheet. (No kids). I've never mentioned this to my husband just kind of do it. Feel a bit OCD now!

*needing washed anyway

@GrendelsGrandma

I not only wash the bed sheets, I dry clean the curtains and scrub the skirting with bleach post-coitally, just for good measure.

To be more efficient, I now have sex in a house dress and marigolds and stack up some cleaning products on the bedside tables, it saves time and DH finds the rubber gloves quite erotic. The problem is, I've started to associate sex with laundry so much that even the whiff of a pack of Persil sends me into a feverish frenzy. I have to avoid that aisle in the supermarket.

You have sex in a house dress? Not a specially designed hazmat suit? That's grim.

What? If that’s the case, no need for me to wash them since a few days before Christmas.

Thankfully….. i hate changing the bedsheets

No sex in this bed since last March.

I think I've washed my sheets since then.

@daisyjgrey

This is MN, someone will be along in a minute to say that they put a strip the bed, put a special mattress protector and designated bedding on, do the deed and then strip it all off and put a fresh one on, every time. And anything less is the epitome of "grim".

Omfg 😂 I'm the person with the waterproof bed protector! That's only because things tend to get... messy... And I really don't want to have to wash the sheets every day 😅

Obviously sometimes there is no time for prep work (mood killer) so in those instances then yep, bed gets washed or it just smells of 'juices' 🤮

@StarlightLady

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

Yes. That's why you see so many DFS adverts..

I’m getting vague flashbacks to a very old MN thread which involved the phrase “crispy sex towel”…

That's why you see so many DFS adverts

Damned fucking squirrels?

😂😂😂😂😂

No.
If it's slightly wet I would wipe, if it's quite wet I would change but generally speaking we don't get them dirty.

So, do people never stay with friends or relatives?
When you stay in a hotel are you always on the phone to housekeeping?
And just how many squirrels are actually involved?

Depends. Was there another person involved? LOL, I always consider masturbation to be sex with someone I can actually trust.

@newnameforthis76

Having sex while knowing we were going to have to change the bedding afterwards would be quite the passion-killer for me, I must say.

This

Spot clean with a babywipe and be done with it 😂

Loving this thread! :-)

@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.

Can’t believe as I read that I was trying to picture your sex blanket 🤣 Not in a pervy way, I just don’t know what one looks like lol.

@labazslovesliving

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

Do we need to be changing the sheets before sex now too? I'm going with the 46 bottom sheet method from now on. One peeled off before and after sex. I have to next five years covered then.

@HaveringWavering

OMG. The sex blanket is advertised as “a luxurious play-scape”.

And the listing helpfully adds “When you are satisfied, simply throw it in the wash”

It looks a bit like a picnic blanket to me. Who writes this shit?

They need to do one something like the Twister mat to assist couples getting about.

@Fluffyhairteddy

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

You shag that much?

How do you get the time or energy?

Okay I am slightly jealous cos it's once a week here and I'd love it to be more, but bloody hell...

Twice a day.

You win.

Sorry, how do I get my comment removed ? Posted on wrong thread

Okay phew done now. Thanks mumsnet !

@OnlyTheTitosaurusOfTheIceberg No, it's DIRTY Fucking Squirrels. Come on, this is Mumsnet

Only if I dribble loads as I’m about to do the cum-run
