Just found a used condom in our bed...

Well actually my DD aged 4 found it just as we came up to bed. 🤢 Literally just sat there in the packet at the top of the bed, still fresh liquid inside it.

Husband has been working from home today and has gone out on a works do for a few hours so I'm doing bedtime with the kids. I messaged him straight away saying WTF and he's just replied saying 'posh w*nk but I know that really doesn't help the situation I'm sorry babe'.

I don't think he's cheated because a) we have ring cameras on all 3 doors, there's been no gap in streaming all day and no one else in, and b) our bedroom is an absolute s* tip, the sheets are full of my fake tan from last night as I was changing them today and it looks just as much like Beirut in there as it did this morning.

We've got 2 young kids, one who is 1 and still isn't sleeping through and haven't had sex for about 3 weeks because quite frankly I just cba as I'm so tired..

But AIBU to be absolutely livid at the fact he's pleasuring himself whilst I am at work and b) that he left it there for my daughter to find!

Any advice on how I act when he returns home in a couple of hours would be greatly appreciated!

It's not ideal but Jesus give the man a break, sounds like an honest mistake! At least he's trying to keep it clean. My ex used to leave dirty socks full of it under bed ffs. Hence the ex part.I can laugh about it now. 😂

Wind up troll thread.
A man in an empty house

  1. searches for a condom...
  2. goes back to bed
  3. opens packet and applies said item
  4. fills it
  5. leaves the bed
  6. leaves the full condom and wrapper on bed for wife and child to find
  7. leaves the house.

How many men apply a condom if in an empty house?!?

I always thought a “posh wank” was a myth… you learn something new everyday.

Posh wanks are don't exist. If men don't like using a condom when they're having sex with another person, why would they use one with themselves? Also why was it in the bed. Wake up.

Why did he do that with a condom on. I don't get it. It's more work, and less pleasure, surely?

Ah, but you see, if you don't masturbate into a condom, there's nothing you can leave lying around as a hint to your wife. You may not like condoms normally, but leaving a used one where your wife is guaranteed to find it, is a great way to remind her of your sexual needs. She might even worry you're cheating on her, and be alarmed enough to start giving you more sex!

Why face the awkwardness of a conversation about your sex life, when you could play silly games instead?

Sorry, but I'd bet money his thought process was some variation on the above. Hopefully the child being the one to find the condom will put him off trying this again.

Maybe it’s just me and perhaps condoms have got better but I really don’t understand this “posh wank” concept. I thought men hated condoms?

Damnloginpopup · 24/05/2025 09:38

Posh wanks are legit. As I understand it a condom is a barrier which reduces sensitivity and 'natural feeling' during piv sex making it less enjoyable and less emotionally intimate but with the barrier between the (tighter grip of the) hand and penis, movement of the latex on shaft and tip and the light lube that doesn't dry out it makes it different and more pleasant. Also negates the need to stop and aim into a tissue or whatever during orgasm.

He should still put it in the bin though. Fucking man-pig 🤣 unless it was a hint of course.

YANBU to be annoyed that he left a used condom on the bed.

YABU to be annoyed that he had a wank while you were out. Nobody should be policing what their partner does with their own body.

As for all the people saying ‘but men don’t like condoms’, here’s a newsflash for you: not all men are the same and not everyone does everything in the way you’d expect. One of the reasons a lot of men don’t like wearing condoms is specifically because they can’t feel their partner’s vagina, not because they can’t feel anything, so it’s actually less of an issue for a wank. Also, most condoms are lubricated, so in the absence of any other lube it’s not inconceivable that a man might experiment with using one to have a wank.

Also there is no way on earth that he’d have left a condom on the bed if he’d been cheating, and the OP has seen via Ring that nobody else went in or out of the house.
