Do you dunk your penis?

I considered name changing for this, but, fuck it.

We have a dedicated post-sex cleanup area on the bedside table. A box of tissues, a small bin, and a beaker of clean water for temporary cleaning/dunking while the bathroom is occupied by me.

Apparently our penis beaker is strange and not the done thing.

Does everyone else just lay there in a sticky post coital glow until morning? Really?

Oops willy not silly. Autocorrect fail!

In my teens i used exps sister's celtic tshirt. Had to run out of the room
One day when she came in wearing it . Grin

bulletwithbutterflywings · 08/10/2013 09:54

Fuck me. That's mental.

LaRegina · 08/10/2013 09:55

Oh my. And ewwwwwww.

The idea of a nob-beaker with spunky water floating around in it all night is beyond disgusting. What's wrong with nipping to the loo for a quick clean up? Confused. Surely it takes longer to prepare the beaker before hand then clean it up the next day?

Surely nobody would have a small enough nob to be able to dunk it in a beaker without water sploshing everywhere. DH would probably start a small tsunami Grin

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 08/10/2013 09:55

No, never heard of this either. Tissues/bathroom or both. We don't have drinks by the beds either, so no chance of DH suddenly thinking "I know I'll save myself a trip to the bathroom".

Next time I stay at someone's house and there is a drink of water and box if tissues in the guestroom I'm going to be wondering why they put it there!

Here's some disposables for holidays and sleepovers

A possible business opportunity, perhaps?

RippingYarns · 08/10/2013 09:55

i don't dunk my penis in anything

i don't have one Wink

SaraCrewe · 08/10/2013 09:57

This is the last time I use MN to validate myself. You're a bunch of dirty berties.

But thanks for the laughs I was having a pretty crappy day.

I need to come to OP's rescue.

I have heard of one other person that does this. His name was Keith and his ex-wife told everyone in the pub and we laughed at him, that was 20 years ago and I still think of it every time I see him.

Sorry, that turned out not to be much of a rescue Smile

Is the beaker filled up with cold or warm water?

WingDefence · 08/10/2013 09:57

'I'm feeling fruity tonight darling. FILL UP THE PENIS BEAKER!'

Haha! Grin

Just a loo roll Chez Wing too. And we certainly don't spring out of bed to clean up - post-shag cuddles first.

GermanGirlinLDN · 08/10/2013 09:58

Isn't that what baby wipes are REALLY for? Really really odd. Shock

I always remember being fascinated as a teen, reading The Moon's A Balloon by David Niven. To this day what most stands out (or should I say 'up' in this context???) is the bit about him visiting a prostitute (as a teen) and having to dip his willy in some purple/blue coloured liquid (which if my memory serves me correctly was potassium permanganate) which I presume was cleansing and to prevent the transmission of STDs.

Not exactly the same issue as you have OP, not not entirely dissimilar. It's not something I've ever considered or come across. It's a bit OCD....

Supposing you left the 'dunking beaker' on your bedside table and someone inadvertently drank out of it???? Yuk, Yuk, Yuk!

cardamomginger · 08/10/2013 09:59

Always baby wipes here.

OP, I am impressed.

BuzzardBirdBloodBath · 08/10/2013 09:59

You have a 'cock cup'? Do you also have a 'vag vessel'? Or his'n'hers 'cock and clit' cups? Confused

SaraCrewe · 08/10/2013 09:59

I wish it was a thing, then you could offer an appropriately sized vessel depending on how much you wanted to flatter/insult. If someone was particularly rubbish you could proffer a ramekin with a head-tilt and a shrug.

I wish you'd all stop saying 'beaker'.

WandaDoff · 08/10/2013 10:00

I actually loled at this Grin

phantomhairpuller · 08/10/2013 10:01

Dragons Den, OP.

You could well be into something WinkGrin

Fairylea · 08/10/2013 10:01

I'm going to be suspicious of my mum going up to bed with a glass of water now.

SparkyTGD · 08/10/2013 10:01

What? Grin Shock

nope, definitely no 'dunking' involved, shower.

phantomhairpuller · 08/10/2013 10:01

Pah! Inappropriate typo!

*onto something! Or into Wink

HowlerMonkey · 08/10/2013 10:01

Nooo. I used to have some loo roll on hand for exP but DH is gross just doesn't care and will happily wipe it all over the sheets unless I demand he put his pants back on.

Our loo is downstairs so I generally put my pants back on (plus pad to catch anything oozy) and return to bed. Not as scuddy romantic as just staying in bed but better than immediate cleansing!!
