The sex rug,

So,

bear with me, but. Has anyone ever come across 'the sex rug', as in, the hypothetical fur rug in front of a fire in a hypothetical log cabin? If I'm alone in this, fine. But I was wondering f this was a bit cliche and if I should perhaps go for something more modern?

Errr... I have a rug in front of my fire.

The dog sleeps on it. It isn't a sex rug.

I don't think I understand the question...

Well, I just checked out the Ollie Reed wrestling scene in Women in Love.
They had a huge log fire but no fur rug, rather a disgusting red carpet.
Have Burt Reynolds in my head circa 1979. He had a rug. And a rug.
You could make sweet love to Kings of Leon I suppose....sex rug on fire
But you knoe what they say: All fur rug no knickers.

What's your point?

GinSwigmore · 07/07/2017 08:02

know.
Damn my spelling.
Bryan Ferry agrees with you that Love is the rug.
But Richard Ashcroft doesn't agree.

I have a nice hessian type rug in front of of the fire.

May I suggest you go for something plush and soft. Blush

My NDN has a tatty old rug which she puts out in her hallway for her stud dog to stand and mate visiting bitches on. Therefore I'm unable to take the term 'love rug' or 'shag pile' at all seriously.

Anyway, OP, just don't. Even a new one would be cringemaking.

Njordsgrrrl · 07/07/2017 08:37

We used to talk about crispy sex towels on here back in the day... How good are those new-fangled virtual reality headsets? Could be a more modern option.

Mileymoocow · 07/07/2017 08:39

I have a semi-charred rug in front of my open fire that occasionally spits hot coal out. Definitely not something I'd like on my naked body.

Tenshidarkangel · 07/07/2017 12:47

My Nan had a sheep skin rug by her electric fire... Oh... Oh god. NO NO NONONONONONONO.......

Ergh.

Thanks OP.

LBOCS2 · 07/07/2017 13:18

I would imagine that any vigorous friction would cause a sheepskin or similar rug to mat, surely?

LBOCS2 · 07/07/2017 13:18

Mat? Matt? It's matted...

scoobydoo1971 · 07/07/2017 13:46

If your sex is a rug then can I suggest Bic Razors....I prefer Brazilian to Amazon rainforest myself...

Problem with a sex rug is that your torso is too hot and feet too cold. The rug should be a cuddle rug WITH a blanket on top. Sex disturbs the arrangement

Justhadmyhaircut · 07/07/2017 14:32

My ds was conceived on our rug by a log fire!! Grin

TheFifthKey · 07/07/2017 14:32

I have a fluffy rug in front of a fire and any date who sees it thinks of it as a sex rug Hmm I also have two small DC so it's far gross close up to think about rolling around on.

Bloomed · 07/07/2017 14:33

Very hard to clean ...

HirplesWithHaggis · 07/07/2017 14:45

Don't know if it's old fashioned, but shagging on a rug in front of a roaring log fire isn't nearly as sexy as it's meant to be. One half of you burns up with heat from the fire, while the other half is freezing because of the draught created by said roaring flames. And yes, fires, especially log fires using terribly rustic wood with bark still on, spit red hot bits at you.

Go for a scene with underfloor heating.

We used to have a sex rug - before we had a dog.
