'Messy' guest room sheets

WorkingOnItWhateverItIs · 05/05/2022 14:22

I'm pretty sure I'm not being U but also want to check I'm not being a fusty old cow.

Had some friends round, three couples, one who isn't local asked if they could crash at ours rather than not drink or get a taxi. We said, sure! We have a guest room, all good.
They're mid 20s, my DH and I are early 40s. We have an 11y DS.
We'd told them that evening that we're early risers, just as a heads up. All good.
Next morning, they're up, showers, come down around 9.30, we all have breakfast together. They head off around 11am.
I go up to change the bedding as we have other guests due. Pull back the duvet and see a wet patch on the sheet. Pull off the sheet, the wet patch is through to the mattress. It's jizz. No doubt.
So, AIBU to think that's a bit rank? Or am I being fusty and should be a bit more chill? I don't care about the sexy time, do what you like, but clear it up. 'Finish' so it's tidy iyswim. We're likely to have them round again at some point but there's no way I'm letting them stay, is that mean? Obviously, if they asked, I'd have to say 'you know, my cleaning up jizz days are behind me and probably in front of me with a boy in the house so no thanks. Go do that in the taxi home and receive the bill instead.'

This is mad what's wrong with having sex in someone else's guest room? Why would you control and avoid it? Are you OK hun?

It's your home, not a hotel so it's not great they did that! I would imagine it was more likely an accident than deliberate though and they may have been too embarrassed to tell you.

Definitely get a waterproof mattress protector - you can get ones that are thin like a fitted sheet so are easy to wash. I originally got them when I had foster cats but they are also really handy for any other bodily fluids like period leaks too.

An accident just makes me go

"What she slipped, tripped and fell on his dick?" 😂😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/05/2022 22:26

He must have really had loaded balls and shot a huge load If went through /soaked the sheet and mattress

misses point of thread 😂😂

always have a mattress protector on

but yes should have cleared up for you

Clymene · 05/05/2022 22:28

I have never and would never have sex in a friend's bed and leave stains and mess for them to clean up. It's unspeakably rude.

blubberball · 05/05/2022 22:28

Thinking of that Lily Allen song...

Oh I'm laying in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head

Out of respect for the host and their family living there! If you want a rampant shagfest away from home, book into a hotel. There's absolutely NO need to get jiggy with it in somebody's home when you're only staying one night! It's absolutely ridiculous and the OP's post highlights one of the many reasons WHY.

Three years ago we were invited to a close friend's house to visit when their twins were ten weeks old and my friend had needed lifesaving surgery afterwards. We were grateful for a safe place to stay as we don't live anywhere near each other. We slept in their spare room for one night and absolutely did not have sex. In the morning I offered to strip the bed. My friend had her hands full with two tiny babies and stripping a couple of sheets, pillowcases and duvet cover off the bed took me a couple of minutes - it was honestly the least I could do to help!

Winkydink · 05/05/2022 22:32

Disgusting and rude.

Foolsrule · 05/05/2022 22:36

Mattress protector! Why don’t you have one?

Clymene · 05/05/2022 22:47

Foolsrule · 05/05/2022 22:36

Mattress protector! Why don’t you have one?

Even if she did, it's still revolting. I do have one but I genuinely don't expect my guests to fuck when I'm giving them a bed for the night, staying in a bedroom next to one of my children.

silentpool · 05/05/2022 22:49

I think your guests should have not indulged in your bed. However, get a mattress protector and pillow protectors - it's grim not to have them!

housemaus · 05/05/2022 23:04

brought their own towel

I fucking love mumsnet

Out of respect for the host and their family living there! If you want a rampant shagfest away from home, book into a hotel.

They didn't do it on the dining table during breakfast! Not sure what qualifies it as a rampant shagfest, either...

If I have guests to stay and they're a couple I would assume there was at least a possibility they'd have sex. While I'd hope they wouldn't deliberately jizz on my sheets (like I wouldn't want them to deliberately piss, vomit, bleed etc on them), if they had sex - a normal, natural thing - and there was evidence of it... couldn't find it in myself to give a shit to be honest.

MadKittenWoman · 05/05/2022 23:07

That's grim, but why don't you have a mattress protector?

Show quote history

Do you not fuck in the bedroom next to your children? Any other issues aside, this is a weird reason to be upset about it.

Either it's wrong to have sex in the same house as children at all, in which case you shouldn't either.

Or it's not wrong as long as you're discreet enough they have no idea, in which case why does it matter if they did or didn't?

Clymene · 05/05/2022 23:22

No I don't @housemaus. I'm a single parent. But even if I weren't, this is my home.

I just think it's weird and disrespectful behaviour to have sex in someone else's home and expect them to clean up your mess. Not a good guest

Some of these replies are hilarious. Should have brought their own towel? 🤣🤣
I'd probably think it's was a bit yuk when I was stripping the bed but would have just thrown the bedding in the machine and thought nothing of it. You must have literally ran up as soon as you shut the door on them to find the wet patch, I'm not a clean freak so by the time I would have stripped the bed later probs wouldn't even have noticed!
you know, my cleaning up jizz days are behind me and probably in front of me with a boy in the house so no thanks. Go do that in the taxi home and receive the bill instead
I can't actually believe you would consider saying that to someone. So cringe.Far more embarrassing than them having a quick morning shag.

I agree. What is this weird disgust around people having sex?

Mumsnet seems to be brimming with prudes.

I’d have changed the sheets and thought nothing of it. Actually my cleaning lady would have done it the following day so I wouldn’t even have known.

some people have sex in other peoples houses, what’s the big deal?

Gizacluethen · 05/05/2022 23:25

I'm sure why anyone would feel comfortable picking up bedding and potentially touching someone elses cum. It's gross.

ElleWoodsandBruiser · 05/05/2022 23:26

Wouldyabeguilty · 05/05/2022 17:42

Mortified for the jizz bandits.

PMSL at “jizz bandits” 😂😂😂😂

theDudesmummy · 05/05/2022 23:30

Maybe I care less because I am a medical professional and have handled all sorts in my time but I wouldn't give it a second thought. Put it in the wash like you would have anyway and who cares. It's cum not radioactive waste.

theDudesmummy · 05/05/2022 23:32

And I don't agree it's disrespectful to have sex in someone else's house. I've had sex in many people's houses. What's the big deal.

VeryGoodVeryNice · 05/05/2022 23:59

I really couldn’t get worked up about this.

Get some rubber gloves and some enzyme cleaner, scrub the patch, flip the mattress and then put a mattress protector on the good side you have remaining. And put the sheets on a 90 degree wash.

That’s far more than I’d do but you’re clearly really bothered about this.

In their defence, they’re in their early twenties. I’d shag anywhere and everywhere at that age. Also, in terms of wet patches, you never know when you’re going to get one. Of course, having sex does potentially cause one but IME sometimes there’s no leakage at all, sometimes there’s a small lake. All dependent on the quantity of man juice produced on that occasion. They rolled the dice there and got unlucky.

We had a weekend guest recently who had stripped the bed before leaving and left it on the floor and I felt uncomfortable about it. We didn’t expect him to make up his bed on arrival and we.didn’t expect him to strip it either.

This is what I said earlier. St

Norush4 · 06/05/2022 06:10

I would not expect my guests to strip the bed.

VelociraptortheClown · 06/05/2022 06:24

I would be buying a new mattress and they wouldn't be staying over again.

"I genuinely don't expect my guests to fuck when I'm giving them a bed for the night, staying in a bedroom next to one of my children." from @Clymene

What on earth has being in the same building as DC got to do with it ? They won't hear or see anything. Presumably you have sex with your DH from time to time in the same house as the DC ?

Some really odd attitudes to sex, it reminds me of the Disney threads where a DH is called a sex pest because he wants his own bedroom with his DW rather than sharing with DCs.
