To be putoff intimacy with DP due to this?

641 replies

Justinegh · 04/09/2025 15:34

DP and I are doing the deed a lot more regularly at the moment because we are ttc. This is usually in the evening when we first get into bed.

DP has a habit of going to the loo for several minutes before he joins me. I told him I find this off putting and unhygienic and asked if he can wait until after or go earlier in the day.

He just doesn’t see the issue and how someone would find it off putting.

Do you think I’m being unreasonable or would this annoy you too? It just seems stupid timing when you know you are going to be intimate with someone. It’s not a one off, it’s most occasions.

I still don’t understand.

You’re suggesting that the man who has just had a poo sticks his willy up his own arse before then putting it inside his wife?

Houdini is alive and well.

Well look at that thing.

That level of jet power is going to ricochet, and if you turned round to check you were firing it right, getting off the muck or whatever it is that a bum-sprayer is supposed to achieve then you might well get an eye-full.

But the power is controllable and you just stop pressing the lever to stop water flow. Am at work with all my Muslim colleagues and they are in stitches on the thought of someone managing to spray their eyes

I wouldn't be surprised if the OP (or the shower before sex brigade) have a dog which lies/sits all over their house with its shitty unwiped bum.

I don’t have any pets (and when I did they weren’t allowed on the sofa or beds anyways) but I do know a family that wipes their dog’s paws and bum when they get back inside after a walk.

I don't get this - when I was dating and sex was on the cards I'd automatically shower before. Now I'm married we have plenty of sex but we know when it's going to happen because you know - kids, jobs, lives! It's really not hard to shower before bed. Sometimes we have a spontaneous afternoon shag if we have the house on a weekend so yeah, I guess occasionally we may not have literally just showered but if I'd had a poo after my shower? Yes I would have another quick one. A shower can take 2 minutes max.

Why would you need to shower after a poo? How are you pooing?

Calliopespa · 04/09/2025 18:03

Anyway, are you sure you didn't use something intended for cleaning the toilet bowl? It's not as if there is any bum in evidence in the photos ...

Think you need to travel more and be a bit more open minded lol.

I hope everyone's burning the sex towel and sheets afterwards.

I read this as 'bumming the sex towel' at first 😂

HoLeeFuk · 04/09/2025 16:07

I think I'm doing shitting wrong, because I don't need a full shower afterwards!

Ha ha yes - this is definitely an eye opener and now my list of things I have never thought about ever before #203

Okthenguys · 04/09/2025 18:20

Does he use wet wipes after he goes or does he just wipe with tissue? DH showers before we DTD, if that’s not possible wet wipes until he is clean. I would be put off being intimate with someone who had just pooped and was not fully clean.

Houseshmouse · 04/09/2025 18:21

I can't say I'd be turned on if I heard my partner curling out a giant turd before dtd. Imagine the smell wafting through!

Oh dear oh dear. It is only a matter of time before PetsAtHome are selling dog bum guns with pawbath attachment.

Sorry, yes I meant he is using the loo (no.2) and openly says he is making sure he isn’t bloated. He doesn’t shower after, no.

He needs to shower after.

I always give my backside a swill in the sink after a poo despite it having got me in trouble at work on more than one occasion.

You didn't work here did you?

@Instinct1 @Carrotsurprise from the NHS website
"Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract."

So obviously if he hasn't wiped properly even a microscopic amount of poop can be a problem.

From the woman's bum not the man's!

But doesn't everyone use the toilet immediately before getting into bed and whatever is necessary happens, or am I getting old, well probably, but I think I always have,

Yes, I would have thought (previously, before this thread) going to the toilet before bed was normal. Now I don't know what to think.

Fucking brilliant.
I am crying here. I haven’t laughed properly in months. Thank you

Me too 😂😂 I’m laughing away to myself reading this

pinenuts75 · 04/09/2025 18:28

I mean he could use them bum wipes there only 45p or something from aldi

InveterateWineDrinker · 04/09/2025 18:29

I presume OP that you two aren't into tarmacing then?

Well we don't know anyone has, but it looks a distinct risk to me. I'm not about to consider any kind of power-washing of my bottom.

How? I think I'm doing sex wrong!

He needs to rub his arse over your vagina, a lot of people don’t know that’s actually how you do it. Ideally in a clockwise motion. What’s perceived as “normal PIV” is actually a myth peddled by mainstream media to prevent the masses from the true enjoyment of sex.

With what? And how did they dispose of it? Was it immediately incinerated?

blondebombsite13 · 04/09/2025 18:37

Ihavetoask · 04/09/2025 17:43

Not comparable. It would be comparable to doing anal with totally uncontrollable diarrhoea

Omg 😂 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/09/2025 18:39

Bring back the penis beaker

or now a bum beaker

😂😂😂😂

Either he shits and you hold back on the rimming, or he doesn't and you hold back on the pegging.

🤣😭💀

I wouldn’t have sex with my husband if he’d just done a poo unless he had a shower afterwards.

I feel like I have lost my innocence today…
