How do you clean up afterwords?
 

I have always wondered what other women do right after sex. I know I make a beline to the toilet to try and drain so that I don't have to have that wet icky feeling all night long. Some women I know just keep a box of tissues next to the bed and I guess just wipe up. What do the rest of you do?

Pee. Always pee. Urinary tract infections are the devil.

I use condoms ALWAYS so anything I clean up is mostly me, but I beeline it to the toilet as well.

yeah i pee and get rid of the extra goo. We don't use condoms so its kinda gross if it stays in there. Its such a pain in the ass after you're all tired after sex though.

I always feel the need to shower afterwards because I can't sleep well if I'm all sticky and sweaty.

Also: pee.

Peeing is a must!! But since I don't always have the energy or motivation to go straight to the bathroom after sex I usually just lay on a towel for a few minutes. This way I don't get the sheets any dirtier than they are and it doesn't take long before I want to get up and clean off.

man, I thought I was the only person who ever made a "beeline" for the bathroom right afterwards!!!


whew I feel better now

we keep towels by the bed for just that reason. sometimes, after the really good sex, and you have jello legs (i know i'm not the only one that gets jello legs) you just can't get up to go to the potty without falling on your face. lol. no matter how entertaining that may be, it's no good to be covered in goo and bruises.

definately head straight for the bathroom!

So I am not crazy when I run to the bathroom. Great! Yeah, I know what you mean about Jello legs. I have a pettern set out to the bathroom so that there is something to grab onto on every step of the way.

First I wipe out with a dry washcloth, then it's off to the bathroom to pee and rinse off with a warm washcloth. It just makes me feel better and not so messy.

Eek.
 

Okay, that makes me the wierd one... I wipe up with towels that we keep around, but I sort of like the messy-goo feeling.. it's kinda erotic and neat.

*hides* I'm such an outcast.

Poysun_Ivy, you aren't so weird! Sometimes it is nice to be messy for awhile. I don't always want to get up after sex. Sometimes Lebell brings me a towel (isn't he sweet!?) Sometimes I get one for him. Sometimes we just stay gooey. Eventually I always go to the bathroom though.

Once in a great while I will just lay there and let everything be. Being a mom with a toddler that frequently wants to join us in bed I just don't want that mess in the bed when she climbs in. I almost always go to the bathroom within minutes to pee. I've dealt with UTI's to often to ignore it. Also Hubby always cums a lot - so far I haven't met someone who comes as much - and so even if I just wipe I will have a gooey mess all day long (if our session was in the am) unless I go pee and get rid of what I can.

i think there's something very intimate about NOT jumping up right afterwards and making a beeline to the potty. even though a little mess is created, i love reveling in the afterglow for a while after the deed is done. a little goo never hurt anyone!

I dispise getting up after sex, which because I cannot imagine having a better suited partner, is always great!! Anyway, for health reasons to maintain a good vaginal environment to keep having awesome love sessions, I always head straight to pee(actually that is to keep my urethra free of bacteria), and then to wash with warm water and GENTLE NATURAL soap. After doing this my vagina is in such a better shape than it would be if not. I can feel the difference if I don't, usually. I have been studying natural medicine for a couple of years pretty intensely and this is an all around maintenance reccommendation by every naturopath or midwife, what have you.

Haha, this one cracked me up, know what you mean but I've never heard it being called "jello legs".

good topic. my experiences are usually with a towel that he has or brings me, soon though ill get up and clean up.

I've never really thought about it. I've only had experiences with the pull out and pray method or with condoms. So I haven't had to worry about clean up.

:lol: jello legs!! That cracked me up as I never knew the correct term before!

For my self....the best thing is to catch my breath :D wrap my arms around my honey and listen to his heartbeat and enjoy the wonderful scent of him before I drag him off to the shower so I can wash his back.

Mmmmmmm - okay now I know what I want to do tonight!

i don' t pee right after, because i'm usually still enjoying the moment...but my man usually has or gets a towel for me...THEN i go pee!

Heh, I get those jello legs. We keep a towel by the bed, and we snuggle for a few minutes after, then it's whoever gets up first gets to pee.

Pee and shower!!

Ah! I get jello legs tooooo!!! And me, I don't go to the loo...I'd rather be nasty and ooze for awhile, after wiping some of it off with toilet paper. How cute.

Pee and a shower... generally we both get in. I always use a condom, so the mess is just me, but it's nice to both get in and wash each other off... BTW, I make a BIG mess when I have sex, even if I don't cum. Is that normal?

Oh this is so true! Plus if it's a marathon session, you have no choice to get up and pee. The worst is having to pee before the fun is over. Holding it just doesn't really work. Plus, if you clean up afterwards, you're more likely to be prepared for in the a.m. and morning sex is sooo good.
:D

Yup, I am pretty messy too.

I do not like getting up right away, I love to be held. However, I cannot go more than a few hours before I have to pee. As for a UTI... pee girls... they'll be asleep anyway!

Definitely pee and shower! We keep towels and tissues near the bed, too. I really hate the smell and texture, it makes me gag :/ (swallowed once and only once). I'd love to try those nice scented wipes they sell in sex stores, but they're so expensive. I think baby wipes would probably work as well.

Glad to see this thread, though, I always wonder what everyone else does.

Pee and clean up in the bathroom. Urinary tract infections hit me at the drop of a hat and I don't think I can deal with any more antibiotics!

It varies. Sometimes I want to just lay there and catch my breath and wind down. And besides, I get jello legs too only I call them noodle legs. So once I know I am stable I'll move. But I ALWAYS go in and pee and clean up.

Ditto to what most everyone else is saying...

Peeing is a must... but I don't like to jump up right away. I too yet jello/noodle legs... and enjoy just laying tangled up in the sheets... breathing softly... savoring the feelings and waiting to "re-ground". After a while, I'll get up quickly to pee and then slep back into bed... I don't like to do too much to lose the connection I'm feeling with Willow.

oh yeah

I love to stay just curled up with him inside me.... thats my favorite thing to do for a while.

if you don't like the mess make then wear a condom. It is my choosen form of birth control for that very reason. I hate standing up and having cum run down my leg. Plus it makes them last longer becasue it tones down the sensations for them.

Sometimes it is nice to just lay there and sometimes you just can't get up, there have been a few times that I haven't even bothered, b/c it was nice to just lay there and stay that way. It mostly depends on where, when, and what time it is.

I never move for a while. Always lay there for at least a little while. Why would you want to ruin the mood by running to the bathroom? 0_o

I make a big mess, too . I have plenty of "natural lube" all they time. I've even asked my doc if it's normal and he said yes.
As for the topic question - we snuggle for a few minutes then we both hit the bathroom to pee and clean up. If it's really mess i8 hands me a towel.

We always wipe up after a few...then I go potty as soon as possible...even if it's been a no penetration session cuz it just makes me feel better to 'flush' myself out afterwards...I am very messy too ;) So sometimes I just have to...

There is almost always a towel next to my bed. That is used after some wind down/cuddle time and then I have to go pee...I so do not want a urinary tract infection ever again.
