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.

No because I have enough washing as it is.

deadlanguage · 23/02/2022 09:17

No way can I be bothered changing the sheets multiple times a week, we’re just careful not to make a mess

I keep my sex sheet in a special cupboard with our penis beaker. I bung it all in the dishwasher with the toilet brush & cats bowl when it’s due a clean.

And before you all jump on me….I’m kidding!!!! We don’t have a cat!!

@SmallPrawnEnergy

I'm flabbergasted at all this 'wetness' getting everywhere! I think I can remember once when there was any 'spillage' of any kind and it was a tiny patch.

Poor you. But at least you’re confident enough to admit you have terrible sex I suppose, if you’re not even wet enough to create a “tiny” patch. Perhaps your husband can read a few books?

Since when has the quality of sex been dependent on copious amounts of body fluids? This place gets more batshit every day.

@Cappuccino17

Yep I do. Lol. Unhygienic if you don't. Almost like weeing in bed and then saying blah its natural lol
Grin What on earth do you do in bed that there's so much bodily fluid sloshing about that it's the same as weeing in your bed?
AdifferentGoat · 23/02/2022 09:22

This thread is amazing. I've been known to toss a bottle of Dettol in the air as we tumble around bed.

zoeFromCity · 23/02/2022 09:22

@Wiredforsound, @AutomaticMoon
Yes, Liberator Fascinator throw.

I love it. Towels/leak pad wasn't right for us - too much worrying about position of the towel, and it felt somehow undignifying, as if the wetness was something wrong.
As a bonus, the throw isolates even mundane wetness like sweat.

StandingOvulation · 23/02/2022 09:23

Well.

Start a thread, have a grand night's slerp no washing required, Abd it's kinda blown up with squirrels, loo brushes, sex towels, snappy sheets Grin.

And I fucked up voting, but safe to say the most of you think it's bonkers.

Oh dear. Someone's touched a nerve ...
housemaus · 23/02/2022 09:24

Jesus, no, who has the time for that?

(Also we rarely have sex in bed and you can't change the sofa covers so...)

WhenIsItTooLate · 23/02/2022 09:24

No, i just snap the sheet in half and throw it in the bin

😂😂😂 most underrated comment of the thread! Fabulous.

Also quite relieved to see some fellow dribblers on here; was beginning to think I must have a particularly defensive vagina.

No sheet changes here! Relatively new bf, I’d run out of sheets in a day Grin

Flipflopfoodle · 23/02/2022 09:25

I'm amazed at how some people think only dripping wet sex is good sex (smallprawn for eg). Honestly, if it's moist enough to be friction burn free why would you need a fountain? Both DH and I normally shower after (mornings anyway) but the bed sheets are definitely not soaking even if it's a swinging from the rafters, multiple orgasm one.

AdifferentGoat · 23/02/2022 09:25

Also, where does one go about purchasing a 'sex sheet'? Does it come in colours? Asking for a friend.

spacehardware · 23/02/2022 09:25

"Poor you. But at least you’re confident enough to admit you have terrible sex I suppose,"

Ooh bitchy.

Maybe some of us have better pelvic floors than others eh

Justkeeppedaling · 23/02/2022 09:26

@ClaymationHeartsStillBeat

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!

Messy stuff? What am I missing out on?

ExactlyThis · 23/02/2022 09:28

Wtf? I can’t recall having dirty sheets… not in recent years anyway. We use condoms and don’t spend hours in different positions. Just get on with the task at hand.

You all squirters or something? Grin

scornrufibarbis · 23/02/2022 09:28

This thread has given me a good old laugh this morning.

To answer the question no we don’t

Doratheexploret · 23/02/2022 09:30

Only if it made a mess which it doesn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️ We use condoms anyway so no mess.

I actually laughed out loud at the first line!
ExConstance · 23/02/2022 09:31

At my age I regard any marks on the sheets as a badge of honour.

StarlightLady · 23/02/2022 09:31

It depends on whether l am going to have sex with somebody different next time. 😉

Stravaig · 23/02/2022 09:31

I've stopped laughing enough to remember admit there was once a sex towel 🤣 First love, at it like rabbits, sharing a single mattress on the floor, neither wanted the wet spot. With the rampant practicality of youth, we'd chuck down the towel whilst tearing each others clothes off and speed-braiding my hair. (Long curly hair is not conducive to enthusiastic sex. You want curls spread luxuriantly, you detangle the resulting birds nest. On my way out, you tie/braid it as clothes come off. House rules still!)

NrlySp · 23/02/2022 09:35

This needs to go in classics. Has brightened up my morning.

ExactlyThis · 23/02/2022 09:35

Not once in 22 years has either party gone off like a sprinkler system and soaked everything in the room.
