Sex. It's a messy old business. A few brief moments of passion, and the next thing you know you are lying in a mess of sweaty sheets, used rubbers, discarded sex toys, tubes of lube, handcuffs, food and empty bottles. What do you do? One option is to chuck the lot into a bag and throw it all out. But wait! There is a better way, although not necessarily easier. What cleaning up after sex involves is mostly two fold -- it includes cleaning your self and your partner's bodies, and it also involves cleaning up your environment, basically where you just had sex. It also includes cleaning up al the bits and bobs that you used, such as dildos, vibes, and all the other sex toys that you may have used while you were having sex with each other.
So now that you are starting to think about how to clean up after sex you are probs thinking that it is more than okay to just clean yourself up and carry on, but is that even true? The truth is that you also need to clean your partner up -- or they can do it themselves, of course! -- as well as any toys and any other doodads you may have employed in your sweet, sweet love making. One of the main things that you need to remember is that infections can spread from unwashed sex toys, so watch out for that one, but the number one thing that you need to do is to to clean your genitals and wash your face and hands. Bacteria can fester when you do not clean yourself, and if you give yourself a good wash down there you will be reducing the ability of things such as fungi and viruses from getting a foot hold.
One of the best things about cleaning up after sex is that you can then go right ahead and start having sex again. You can have oral sex easier too because you will both be squeaky clean. The best way to keep clean is to use wipes when you cannot get to a shower, and to use a shower when you have the ability to. Always use a fresh condom, throw away lube that has been sitting around too long, and if you can avoid it then try not to give bareback head unless you are sure that your partner is careful, or if you know something of their sexual history.
It is best to clean up your immediate space so that no infections can spread like wildfire through out your home, and even your body. It is also nice when your friends and family come to visit and there are no cum stains on the sofa, walls, coffee table, carpets, door handles, fridge, curtains, or other surfaces. It is a good idea to clean your sex toys and anything that gets used during sex, such as paddles, cuffs, chains, spatulas, paintbrushes, washing machines, and so on.
1. Sanitary wipes. Also known as baby wipes. They are not just for babies. Keep them in your purse, your car, your office -- anywhere and everywhere. Have multiple packs. They are great for so many things besides cleaning up after sex. Take them on picnics, use them to open doors, blow your nose on them. Baby wipes. Oh yeah, and you can use them for wiping babies. Go for the flushable type, because then you can, you know, flush them.
2. A brush. This can be used to scrub areas that have been besmirched by your sinful behavior. Such areas include, but are not limited to: showers, bath tubs, car seats, the insides of phone booths, bar stools, kitchen counter tops, your desk at work, your best friend's husband's work bench, gym equipment, shop doorways, washing machines.
3. Plastic bags. Get the kind that disintegrate in the soil, or better yet, use doggie bags. Just don't hang them with their slimy contents in the trees like some dog walkers do. Like, who even collects those things? The dog poop fairy? Seriously, if you see someone hanging a dog poop bag in a tree, wait for them to go round the corner then quickly untie it, run after them, and silently slip it into their bag. Sorry, we went off topic there a bit.
4. A towel. As Douglas Adams wrote, you should always know where your towel is. There is nothing more comforting than a favorite towel. Except maybe a loving partner, friend, family member, or pet. If you don't have any of those things, though, a towel will do. Wash it now and then.
5. Clean up spray. Also know as disinfectant. You can get it in spray bottles, which makes cleaning not only fun, but also so super easy even a Millennial can do it with one hand while Snapchatting.
1. It helps erase the memory of a truly lame roll in the hay. Yes, not all sex is worth remembering, and cleaning up a physical environment is a good way to also clean up your mental or spiritual environment. Get rid of the clutter and mess in one realm, and you help to get rid of it in another.
2. It leaves the place tidy for the next person. This is very good to keep in mind if you live with others, or if you have just done the deed in a public space. At the very least, don't leave your used condoms lying around, because no one needs to see that.
3. It can stop the build up of bacteria and other wee nasties. This just cannot be said enough. The number one reason to clean yourself up after sex is to limit the spread of STIs, so do NOT over look this very important step in the clean up process.
4. It's a great post sex work out. Well, kind of. The thing is, sex is in itself a work out, but if you still have a bit of energy, or if having a world breaking orgasm got you really pumped, then why not use some of that energy to really scour your habitat of sweat, grease, cum and all the other grubbiness that is left over when you have had really great sex.
5. You can make it into a game. If both of you join in then you can see who can clean your half of the sex pit the fastest. Of course, not all sex takes place in a pit -- unless you come from Sheffield.
Try to have less messy sex. If you do not like cleaning up after sex acts then perhaps you should be starting to think about maybe having the kind of sex that does not require such in depth cleaning. You can also get covers for your furniture that can be easily wiped clean. The great thing about this is that people will come into your house, see how lifeless and weird it looks, and not want to have sex with you in the first place, thereby negating the need to clean anything. One of the other ways you can make it easier to clean up after sex is to have sex in the bath tub. That way, all you need to do is let the water out. Except, of course, that it is very bad for your vaginal health to have sex in the water, so don't use any perfumed cleaning body washes or things like that.
Another great way to save cleaning up too much after sex is to swallow. Yes, we said it. Just go ahead and gulp down every last drop of his sweet man juice, rather than let it spray all up the walls, all over the pillows, on the back of the car seat, and so on and so forth. It will also make him very appreciative of your oral talents, which is a great way to keep a guy on the hook. There will be less to wipe up that way.
If post sex clean up is really an issue, avoid anal sex, or sex on your period, and try not to use all the yogurt and ice cream when you do it in the kitchen, or on the dining room table top. Of course, if you do not mind doing a bit of cleaning up -- and why should you, really -- then why not just go nuts and make as much mess as you like. After all, what is better: a life full of memories of wild, crazy, messy sex, or a life time full of memories about worrying about cleaning up afterwards and not having done anything fun? Loosen up and try to enjoy yourself if you can -- life is short, and there is much to explore, and much fun to be had!
