washing your junk after sex

http://i54.tinypic.com/nnut5e.jpg

not DIRECTLY after no....but a shower yes

HOW INDIRECTLY?

okay, no

getting too far away from accepting & embracing that sex is generally kinda sweaty is a negative, imo. it isn't like coming home from work and wanting to get the funk off and feel clean; it's the kind of remnant feeling you should be okay with, i think, with there being no need to starkly delineate it happening and then you being all clean.

it's exactly like working under a car

that smells like semen

nope

should be an option for catholic, scrub self down after sex then head to confession

Much more concerned about being clean before than after.

i don't understand why people would not do this, you can get infections and diseases!!!

also after sex co-shower can be pretty fun imho \(o_O)/

You can't sleep and wash up at the same time

also lol this is not about taking a shower cuz you're sweaty.

I wonder how males' responses would break down among cut/uncut.

What if you're just rubbing the infections and diseases into your skin?!?

fwiw I just search out a bottle of mouthwash and dip my genitals in it

Is it really that bad to just take a shower after I've woken up?
ILX makes me feel like a bad person sometimes.

I wonder how males' responses would break down among cut/uncut.

can we factor this into all ilx polls?

I am circumcised & think Graduation > Late Registration
I am uncircumcised & think Graduation > Late Registration

I just.... you must hate having sex...

It's fucking great to be locked together and eventually fall asleep after, with the atmosphere, bodily fluids, heat, love, all still there in between youse. Screw thinking it is "wrong" or "dirty".

are we talking UTI - uhh, other than that, what kind of infections or diseases?

Yeah I don't really think that line thinking is correct. It's a good idea for girls to pee after if they're prone to UTIs but other than that there's no reason to get up and wash immediately afterwards as far as I know.

It reduces possibility of like HPV and herpes a little, but imo if that's a bridge you're crossing regularly then you provably have it in a routine and it's not what most people do.

I mean, in my experience.

Also if your junk looks like a murder scene due to circumstances it kind of makes some sense? I dunno, that is kind of an outlier too

Like period sex? Well yeah but that's a whole other story imo

i'm willing to have my junk washed after sex, but it seems rude to demand it

I just.... you must hate having sex...

that's a ridiculous assertion! That's like saying, "You must take no joy in eating, since you don't like food that is moldy."

it takes quite a bit of time for things to get 'mouldy' i'd imagine?

ie I don't think the question is 'do you ever wash your junk'

Yeah feeling "ew must clean up" the moment yr done seems a bit dispiriting to me (going to toilet aside).

depending on the circumstances, an over-ripe odor can happen pretty quickly

sarahel i agree w/ u for once. sometimes it smells like penguins after sex, and ain't no cure but a washin' up

hence the need for more poll options detailing what kind of sex necessitates post-sex showers

like I'll usually wash up if I just took a facial but if all I did was a little shrimping I don't see the need to get all over-meticulous about things

feel a need to just auto-redact this post on the one hand, and to stand by it on the other

no point in drawing that line if you refuse to cross it

Am I alone in thinkin if yr junk smells bad or unpleasant enough to want to shower it off after sex, maybe you need to be seeing a doctor?

bacterial vaginosis

I think the proper analogy is, after eating a 9 course meal with lobster, steak, a vanilla sundae topped off with apple pie, do you brush your teeth before you go to bed?

sure, if I'm sleeping at my own place

so do all you people voting "no" only have sex before sleep?

Well, there's no shower in my car

Heh.

Actully in my case I'd say "about 70% of the time yeah".

But hang on we're not talking about "eventual showering" here, right?

We're talking about "finish the deed and immediately go rinse yer things off". Which is ... nuts.

Oh man one time when I was drunk and had been out at a bbq place I thought it'd be hilarious to put a bunch of those little hand wipes from the bbq place in my nightstand next to condoms. Of course, I only remembered when I went to grab a condom and pulled out ye olde moistened hand towel and just about cracked up

Which only brings the question: does wiping your junk off with a bbq wipe count as "washing"

It's fucking great to be locked together and eventually fall asleep after, with the atmosphere, bodily fluids, heat, love, all still there in between youse. Screw thinking it is "wrong" or "dirty".

right on the money(shot)

xpost this is basically how i break it down to an extent.

one of the best things about sex is curling up/cuddling with the other person afterwards, which you can't do if you immediately get up to wash yer crotch. likewise if you get up to use the shower, they may follow you in, and then it might lead to more sexual activity which ISN'T necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes when it's 4 a.m. you just wanna go to fuckin' sleep and your loins are worn out!

like i don't think anybody here is growing mushrooms on their sack, I usually shower the next morning and give a lil scrubdown and all is well in Whoville.

at that point you can see the stink lines

who are you, giorgio nutodor

i rarely have the problem above tho. I shower every day you see. sometimes more than once.

I knew of a lady who liked morning sex and would get dressed afterward, occasional secretions still leaking down her legs beneath her skirt or slacks. She told me it reminded her of the prior night's (or morning's) lovemaking so she liked it. I liked her attitude.

I voted male/don't wash, but most of my experience has been with condoms which inherently make matters much tidier.

that's worse, you smell like latex then and that's pretty unmistakable

ppl are acting like post-sex washing up is always solitary, clinical experience

lack of imagination imo

but then you just have to wash up from the washing up, makes no sense

lack of gold bathtub imo

do you have to wash up after cuddling? how about after a massage?

like I said, lack of imagination

i kind of like that there's an implied solitary dimension, almost like a what these hands hath wrought period of lone reflection outside of the room

also i would always wash up after cuddling if i wasn't wearing protection

otm, afterwards I go out to the back and stand on a bare concrete slab and she turns the hose on me and yells a lot, it's good times

yeah we're saving up for a pit but until then it's the slab

Interesting that so many people enjoy marinating in their own spunk or drawing out the sacred act of lovemaking into a ritual cleansing ceremony. Most times I either fall asleep or get the hell out of there

speaking of pastrami-flavored contraceptives, I ripped open a condom package a couple of weeks ago that smelled like peanut butter.

when I see this thread title I hear it sung to the tune of Syd Barrett's "waving my arms in the air"

lol why do I have this thread bookmarked

lol otm

oh hey new answers in... oh, I have this bookmarked too

with the bookmark brouhaha I decided to look to see what I had bookmarked, since that's functionality I rarely use, and this thread was near the top

lol

tw1zt3d p0llst4rt3r 2 tapered off pretty quickly. not very twisted, imo.

"sometimes it smells like penguins"

withdrawal in disgust is not the same thing as apathy

this thread is a delight

I just want you all to know that thanks to this thread, when I was caroling last year, I couldn't sing The Christmas Song without hearing "nutsmell wafting off my partner's face" and wanting to laugh

also I don't really want to be noticing my nutsmell wafting off of my partner's face as I'm trying to eat bacon

Good snapshot of frogbs’ bad posting years

for the record, most of my posts in this thread were trolling

I never shower/wash after sex. Can’t be arsed. I prefer to have a smoke.

great revive

i must be hanging out with the wrong penguins.

the other day I was at the grocery store in the vegan section, and looked upon the shelves of nutcheese, and thought immediately of this thread.

please advise

can't, too busy lolling at "nutcheese"

i apologize to any and all vegans on ilx reading this thread

any fellow uncircumcised kings who do not wash after sex are asking for a visit from the yeaster bunny

is that what this is

put it that way: would you go to sleep wearing a pair of damp socks?

that way? this way

circumcised kings go to sleep wearing damp socks like this, cueball princes go to sleep wearing damp socks like this

Well i no longer want my hummus

Donate it

I keep a clean house, me; visitors need not wipe their feet upon leaving
