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.

A poo would not be acceptable foreplay for me either.

Brown to pink

Well if op or her dh is sticking something up his arse and then up her fanny it’s a recipe for disaster anyway wether he’s had a shower or not.

I had a bf who'd slope off to the bathroom every time we were heading to bed. He wasn't having a poo but was away too long for a wee. I'd get sick of waiting and just go to sleep. I hoped he'd stop doing it if he was missing out on a shag but nope, he did it every time.

Eventually I found out what he was doing. I made a startling discovery in his toiletry bag. He'd left it wide open. I'm not a snooper otherwise I'd have found it long before then.

He wore foundation and had to remove it before coming to bed in case it got on the pillows. I don't know what was worse, that it was Chanel and more expensive than mine or that it was the same one his mother used.

That's one for the next 'Ick' thread.

Unless he’s being Rimmed or Pegged, I don’t see the problem.

Why can't he get his own wet toilet wipes?

He obviously can. 🙄 I literally put that as I often do the online food shop and get them.

He has a crap, then washes his hands - where's the problem?

It's no different from him having had a crap earlier in the day and then washing his hands.

Is he not to crap at all if sex is planned that day?

Well, this whole thread just demonstrates how bonkers most MNetters are.

How? I think I'm doing sex wrong!

Thank god you said this!!!

Rickrolypoly · 04/09/2025 15:49

Ffs, so what?? I can't imagine being told when I can go to the loo
Just mind your own business

If he's not showering afterwards, she's going to be thinking he smells shitty.

I'm assuming you're a bloke? How about she has sex while she's on her period without washing?

BustyLaRoux · 04/09/2025 17:42

If either me or DP need a poo before sex then we have the manners to wash/shower afterwards. In with you OP, poo germs or the thought of poo germs is not appealing. I know exit hole is round the back not the front but to me it’s all in the vicinity and a quick wash is just good manners. I used to suffer with UTIs an awful lot so stringent hygiene practices are second nature to me and DP just to be on the safe side. Besides, it’s nice to be clean!

Lickityspit · 04/09/2025 17:43

This has cheered up my otherwise rubbish day 😂😂

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

nomas · 04/09/2025 15:57

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

WTF is a bum gun??

I mean, I can imagine what it is, but I didn’t know it’s a thing 🤯

TakeMeDancing · 04/09/2025 17:28

I buy a new mattress every time I DTD.

That's just skanky. You should be moving house every time.

This thread is a classic, surely? MN at its finest.

2Magpies24 · 04/09/2025 17:45

Do you make him nervous?!

RubySquid · 04/09/2025 17:46

Zov · 04/09/2025 16:03

YANBU. How off-putting! No matter what anyone else says, I would find it a bit grim to shag my DH a few minutes after he's had a shit.

Why does your DH always need a shit just before you have a shag? Very weird timing! 😬

Yeah that would be a no no for me as well

What a sentence 😂

Calliopespa · 04/09/2025 17:46

What kind of experience do some of you have in the loo that you need to take a shower straight after?

I don't mean to poke fun at IBS-type conditions, which must be frustrating, but most people can manage to keep decent with a good wipe.

321user123 · 04/09/2025 17:47

I think you’d find him farting mid act might be even more uncomfortable 🤣

How does one plan to do it before???

Also, do you guys not use water? Bidet spray or just sink or whatever? 🫣

You've never travelled in Asia then I guess?. It's a wonderful invention and means that you actually wash your bum rather than just wiping. Much more hygienic

ImogenBrocklehurst · 04/09/2025 17:51

Nope, never been to Asia. Does it come as part of a toilet, is it an add-on, or a separate device?

Mischance · 04/09/2025 17:52

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.

SaladAndChipsForTea · 04/09/2025 17:52

I have never known a man excuse himself for a shit before a shag the first time .... because its embarrassing for a reason!

That's the problem, after years together he isn't bothering to try and be at least a bit sexy.

Comes home, nips upstairs to drop his guts and presents himself into the bedroom like OP should be fainting with excitement and turned on 😆

AS IF!!!

not if the jet spray splashes in your eyes - or anywhere really ...

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.
