To be putoff intimacy with DP due to this?

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.

NC for this obviously but if you’re giving oral then yeah…
I was on the bed with (ex!) partner standing up for oral, and so because of the position my nose was pretty close to his arse, and I realise he has been for a shit recently and well. I could smell it
also men that don’t wash/rinse after the toilet and end up with drops of wee - I have also encountered someone smelling of wee and expecting oral

plus the ridiculous thing some men have about not washing their arsehole as “it’s gay”

I have sadly also had the front bum/wee experience! Said he’d had a shower,,, clearly didn’t use soap and it was very unkempt… how I didn’t get whiplash when I noticed 👃🏼 I still don’t know to this day.. 🧟..

anyway…. I digress..

@sweetpickle2 i had a coworker who wiped back to front 😭 our horrified faces when we realised, I haven’t seen her in many years but I’m hoping after that eventful afternoon she saw the light and started wiping properly.

How did you 'realise'? I must have worked with hundreds of people and have no idea how any of them wiped.

NoThanksNeeded · 04/09/2025 20:42

When DH thinks things are getting a bit kinky because his DE asks him to bend over
And its only to check he used the bum gun before sex 🤣

Rosesanddaffs · 04/09/2025 20:42

@Justinegh i’m with you!

My husband did this last week, needed a poo and then proceeded to think we would be getting it on.

I asked him if he had showered his bum hole, he said he had wiped it. I just thought no thanks, I don’t want a freshly crapped hole anywhere near me.

Plastictreees · 04/09/2025 20:44

“Freshly crapped hole” 🤢🤢🤢🤣

And that’s enough internet for me for tonight!

This is exactly it.. the recency and proximity.. however you worded it so much better than me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

after 2 hours or so… you know whatever is left has gone back up…

I’ll get my coat..,

i haven’t admit, I’m intrigued how this would come up with a close friend/relation, let alone a co-worker. … not sure I could ever look a co-worker in the eye after a revelation such as this.

He can't control his bowel movements, and needing a shit during sex is extremely ill advised. The results could be pretty messy.

Surely it's common for people to use the bathroom before sex? To 'freshen up'? And obviously poo or wee if needed as that area will be being used for something else for the foreseeable.

Pmsl 🤣

Thepossibility · 04/09/2025 21:00

I would lose the sexy feeling if my DH was going for a shit beforehand every time. That's not the headspace I want to be in to enjoy it.

KaitlynnFairchild · 04/09/2025 21:04

If you poop before bed then it’s polite to shower for sex.

YANBU OP it would put me off too

Me three - DS 17 has asked what I am laughing at!! I cannot tell him

I was at work trying to talk to my boss with tears of laughter running down my face. I couldn’t actually speak for laughing. 😆

Yes it's getting a bit much for me too. Some of the more ... um ... descriptive posts have actually given me a nauseous stomach.

ionatrolley · 04/09/2025 21:25

Look on Amazon or eBay for an Asian portable bidet, it’s a squeezy bottle with a long spout, fill with soapy water and use it while sitting on the toilet to bottom wash.

DiscoBob · 04/09/2025 21:29

If he's having a poo does he not shower after if he's going to have sex?!

Why would you do that? Wiping your bum should be sufficient - could wash bum perhaps? Unless sex includes rimming? Yeuch, whether cleaned or not and a definite kink.

OneZanyOpalPanda · 04/09/2025 21:45

HoLeeFuk · 04/09/2025 16:07

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

Wish there was a laughing reaction! I literally (and I mean literally) laughed out loud

KaitlynnFairchild · 04/09/2025 21:48

I had spontaneous sex once, hopped on as the top in a sixty nine to notice a skiddy crack in my eyeline.

He clearly hadn’t wiped as well as he thought he had.

BCBird · 04/09/2025 21:54

I would want him.to shower too OP

FioFioSILK · 04/09/2025 21:56

Gross foreplay. If he always takes a dump pre sex I'm surprised you're doing it at all. A hairy crack with a bit of poop is a total turn off...even if his cheeks are clenched. I wouldn't want to know either why is he telling you 😳

RampantIvy · 04/09/2025 21:56

nomas · 04/09/2025 15:57

He should shower. I’m guessing he doesn’t use a bidet shower or bum gun?

Most house in the UK don't have either.

KnitFastDieWarm · 04/09/2025 21:57

SeaAndStars · 04/09/2025 16:46

Or perhaps a mutual sluice down with the bum gun?

Must try this line on DP later 😄

RubySquid · 04/09/2025 18:55

If you ever transit through the middle east pop in the airport toilets , Doha, Dubai, Amman etc all have them lol.

I have one at home ( although we had to put some special plumbing in) as well as much prefer to wash that wipe with a bit of tissue or ruin the environment with wet wipes.

And aim down and backwards while seated lol

I have never been to those places, and sneering at people who haven't says more about you.

Woompund · 04/09/2025 16:18

I don't know about bum holes but when I have sex I like faces to be fairly close to genitals and genitals are pretty close to bum holes - I don't want either me or my partner to be up close with an unwashed bum hole. And before people complain - yes I do know how to wipe my bum and no, wiping is NEVER as clean as a wash.

Not sure she would get any babies by doing it that way.
