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.

I meant squirters! Bloody auto correct 🤣🤣🤣

Whypaytherent · 23/02/2022 04:59

I find if its not Monday (washing day) probably best to just go for a good old fashioned BJ. No need to change the sheets until the following monday but always give my teeth a good brush afterwards.

Of course I wash the sheets every time we have sex...its annual wash is due shortly!

marble1 · 23/02/2022 05:39

No way. Too much work.

If we’re really busy, we do it whilst waiting at the bus stop to save time.

garlictwist · 23/02/2022 05:50

No! How weird. If you get stuff on the bed just wipe it off with a towel or cloth or something.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/02/2022 05:53

@AffableApple

I just use a toilet brush to clean up any spills

@Cappuccino17

Yep I do. Lol. Unhygienic if you don't. Almost like weeing in bed and then saying blah its natural lol
I think you’re doing it wrong 😐

“Every time I never wanna risk my children getting in”

Getting in what?!!! What on Earth do you think is going to happen to them? This is by far the oddest thing I’ve read on here, and there has been some bonkers comments through the years!

They might notice the damp patch. It's best to put a towel under you and wash yourself afterwards. Then the sheet stays socially clean and only needs changing once a week.

I had more problems with heavy periods when I was young. They did settle down eventually but had phases when they were awful in my teens, twenties and early thirties except when on the pill.

That makes sense, wish I'd thought of it.
Flowersandbread · 23/02/2022 06:02

Eh? No way I'm washing my sheets 3 times a week. I use toilet roll when getting off though so no spunk on the bed

Whingasaurus · 23/02/2022 06:05

Funnuest thread since penis beaker what an insane idea. We have a combined age of 115 and have far too much sex for that nonsense. Plus the environmental cost of totally unnecessary laundry.

MinorWomensWhiplash1 · 23/02/2022 06:16

@EllaVaNight

We have 3 kids and plenty of washing to do as it is without having to wash our sheets nearly every other day! Obviously if the sheet gets really wet we'll wash and change or if we've engaged in some of the activities which mean we've put a towel down as it usually isn't enough!
Fascinated to know what activities cause such a mess that a whole towel couldn’t accommodate it?!
Josephsrose · 23/02/2022 06:21

Not recovered yet from the squirrels -collecting spunky sheets and burying them for the winter - best autocorrect EVER.

ClaymationHeartsStillBeat · 23/02/2022 06:22

We are at it as often as possible so it would be ridiculous. We use a towel if we get up to any messy stuff.
With my ex it was once every couple of years so I outdid the sex with my laundry skills!

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 23/02/2022 06:25

Dear god. I can’t quite believe this thread! Plastic blankets, bed pads, changing sheets at whatever o’clock?! Nah. We have sex, cuddle and fall asleep / get up depending on time of day. Bed linen gets changed weekly. Couldn’t tell you the last time there was a ‘wet patch’.

Myturnatlast · 23/02/2022 06:28

Squirrels 🤣🤣🤣

Maria1982 · 23/02/2022 06:28

@Foxglovesandlilacs86 made me proper LOL. I found myself wondering if squirrels are famous for their messy sex and I was just v ignorant GrinGrin😂😂

Rachie20 · 23/02/2022 06:32

So what happens when you have sex somewhere other than the bed? Sofa, dining table or whatever? Do you put towels down or adjust things so there’s no risk of contact?

workworkworkugh · 23/02/2022 06:35

Yep I do. Lol. Unhygienic if you don't. Almost like weeing in bed and then saying blah its natural lol

Not unhygienic if you don't get anything on the sheets though.

I can't help but imagine all you people are having wild sex out of a porno (or some sort of satire) and there's just jizz flying all over the room 🤣

user94747295 · 23/02/2022 06:36

Only after anal

spacehardware · 23/02/2022 06:37

Some people must have very adventurous sex lives to be making so much mess, I salute you

In answer to the question, no of course not dont be daft

Oblomov22 · 23/02/2022 06:38

No. Why? What are all these spills? Never had a spill my whole life.

Faevern · 23/02/2022 06:49

@EBearhug

In between different men at least. Wink
Grin love it.

This thread is mental, stained bed, wetting the bed, wtf are people doing? Are women gushing all over the place, drowning out a teaspoon of sperm?

What if you do it on the sofa, the carpet, the kitchen table?
