TB "After Dark"

One of the facebook groups I'm on randomly has fun "after dark" threads with random NSFW questions. I feel like bumping tonight so I figured I'd toss a few questions out there. Feel to to answer all or some or add your own.

Do you do period sex?

Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom?

Sex toys- must have or never tried?

Re: TB "After Dark"

  • Sounds like fun!!! Thanks for starting this!

    Do you do period sex?
    Sometimes yes... Doesn't bother either of us.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom?
    No, I have such a shy bladder. We used to have our own separate bathrooms in the apartment we just moved out of. That was glorious.

    Sex toys- must have or never tried?
    Must have! My bff was a Pure Romance consultant. I got so many great deals :wink:

    1. No 
    2. Occasionally if we've had too much to drink, but only pee. I'll pee in the bathroom while he's in the shower and vice versa. For some reason its just something we've never really done. 
    3. Tried, but not a must have. 
  • Loading the player...
  • 1. Nope
    2. Nope. DH likes his bathroom privacy and will not come anywhere near the bathroom if I'm using it. (Unless I'm showering)
    3. Have, but don't use. I have no idea where it is post-move.

    Speaking of showers.... Shower sex: yay or nay?

    Adding on to answer your question
    Yay, but our shower is small so its hard to find a great position. 
  • Do you do period sex? I've done it and not opposed to the idea, but I'm usually I'm pretty crampy and don't like the idea of ruining nice towels or sheets. Bonus is not needing lube/preseed though.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? He definitely has seen me pee but never a #2.

    1. I prefer not to
    2. I am bladder shy. I can go as long as he can't actually see me.
    3. Have a few but very rarely use them
    4. @PeggyOlsonFTW, sometimes but DH is 14" taller than me so lining everything up is...comical?

    Do you do period sex? No. DH is like a teenage boy when it comes to anything having to do with periods. Sometimes I get a little desperate and lure him into the shower at the tail end of AF, cause then he will have no idea :) What he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? 

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? No. Some things are just better left unseen. At least for us! 

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? We've used them but I don't think they are a must have. Just something we use once in awhile to add something different. 

    ETA @PeggyOlsonFTW I love shower sex for a good morning quickie!

  • Shower sex would be fun and we do have a spacious shower but DH is a foot taller than me and we don't have like any handle bars or ledges to accommodate the height difference. I definitely have had it in better arranged showers and it's ok but water can get in your eyes/ears and ruin the moment.

  • Sure, I'll play.
    Do you do period sex? On the lighter days sure, on the heavier ones I have a hard time imagining my bloat, all the blood, and something else shoved inside me.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? Absolutely not. I have a hard time peeing in public bathrooms where someone can hear me. It's led to some awkward situations.

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? I've had some vibrator type things in the past but none now.

  • @lecool your vacation story is so similar to ours. The first time I peed in front of DH was on our honeymoon when we were drunk. For some reason it was the funniest thing ever. 
  • Lecool said:



    Sex toys - must have or never tried? Must have. We use them pretty regularly. I just found out last week that my BFF has never used a vibrator, and I was like:



    @Lecool - I am the same way when people tell me they haven't tried a vibrator! It's like damn, let me make some recommendations right now.....

  • I have a question: 
    Ok so for those of you who have watched TGSR- they talk about how its better if DH gets super aroused and excited before DTD... so basically no quickies is what I took away from that.
    So, Question: During the WTO period, do you tend to steer clear of quickies? 
  • I like this idea!

    1). We've tried it, but I find no joy in it. I'm usually uncomfortable and worried about ruining sheets.

    2). Nope! Not ready for that step yet. Gotta keep a little mystery as long as I can.

    3). The toys we have are primarily for my use. He's not that into them. I'd be all for it if he wanted to try something else, but I doubt he'd ever initiate.

  • 1) Yes...sometimes I initiate it, and sometimes he does, but neither of us is bothered by it.

    2) Yes; number 1 only and usually only if DH happens to walk in unexpectedly.

    3) We do have some but use them very infrequently.

    Not usually. Although he had to help me go poop when I was in labor with my son. I think it scarred him.

    Never tried, tbh. Are these the only two options, lol?

  • Do you do period sex? - Toward the end when my period is super light or spotting we do because I can't wait any longer lol. When we stopped using condoms, my husband was hesitant because he didn't want to get all bloody, but I hate condoms so I wouldn't let him use one and now he's okay with it :)

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom?
    No. And I never will. I also won't keep the door open when I use the bathroom once I have kids. I think it's weird when moms do that.

    Sex toys- must have or never tried?
    Never tried. We have considered trying some bondage stuff, but haven't actually done it yet.

    Shower sex?
    We've only done it once and I couldn't get comfortable. Maybe one day when we get a shower with two shower heads. We do shower together quite often, just without sex.

    Avoiding quickies during WTO?
    Idk if we have ever had a quickie. How quick does it need to be to be considered a quickie? I don't watch the clock, so idk..

    Guys, I think this is just what I needed to get me out of my AF feeling-sorry-for-myself slump. Even though my answers are totally lame ;)

    Do you do period sex? No

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? No, and we are both firmly resolved against ever letting that happen. We don't even fart in front of each other unless it's truly bad.

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? Don't use, because we're prudes like that.

    Sorry for being the slow n00b, but what's TGSR? But we totally have quickies...a lot. I figure sperm is sperm, haha.

    ETA Opinion on Shower Sex: We don't do it as much in this apartment because our shower is sort of a box. But if DH initiates, I go right along with it.

  • Love this idea!

    Period sex - only if we are really horny. I'm not into it because it's messy, he really doesn't care.

    Bathroom - If he's in the shower, I can go in to pee and vice versa but that's it.

    Toys - Actually have never used any. Boring old sex over here ;)

    Shower - I love it BUT it never finishes in the shower. We just can't get the angle down right and end up getting frustrated and spilling out into the bedroom.

    I'm with @bcooke314, how fast does it have to be a quickie? I'm not aware of time lapsing when I'm DTD.
  • I like this idea!

    Do you do period sex? Most definitely! My husband could care less and I'm always super horny on my period. My body just can't get it together apparently haha.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom?

    Yes. We aren't very private

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? Not a must have but we use them about twice a week. It keeps things fun and interesting!

    Shower sex- yes!!! We love shower sex. We have a big shower and I have to get on my tippy toes and he has to squat down some but we make it work.
  • Night bumping! I love it.

    1. Yes, once or twice during AF. I have to put a towel down or something.
    2. Peeing only yes, we do it with the door open or in front of eachother or whatever! My ornery husband usually chimes in "Good flow babe!"
    3. Toys, My husband forced me to get one. Actually he went and got one while I hid in the car. I like it though and we use it sometimes.
    4. Showing together makes me SO COLD and I want the hot shower spray all for myself. Sex has tried to happen in there, but the height difference...
    5. If a Quicky happens, it usually happens in the AM before work, regardless of cycle status. It's been like that since the behinning.
  • Do you do period sex?
    Occasionally, but I feel like death so usually I just want to be left in peace.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom?
    We have our own restrooms-- so not usually.

    Sex toys- must have or never tried?
    I'm a tried & true vibrator fan. I don't care for dildos.

  • This is so fun!

    Period sex: no, not our thing.

    Bathroom: We'll pee in front of each other but that's it.

    Toys: Yes! We use my vibrator just about every time.

    Shower sex: also not our thing. I'm very short and DH has a big belly and neither of us really like spending a lot of time showering anyways.

    Quickies: I honestly don't think we've ever had a quickie, so its not ever something I thought of. I don't imagine it makes much of a difference though.

  • Oh fun!

    Do you do period sex? No, but that's more a me thing, he doesn't care... and can sometimes talk me into it.

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? Peeing is fine with the door partially open, anything else no. He doesn't care at all. 

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? Had never tried anything before him (other than solo vibrating). Now, there are so many fun things out there! 

    Shower- No, it always ends up like some kind of comedy porn. It just doesn't go well. Foreplay in the shower though, that works. Although he likes the water colder than I do. Apparently I like "lava water."

    Quicky- When we were dating and not TTC, we would have quickies along with everything else. Now, just every now and then. He likes to take his time and I'm not complaining. :blush:

    Do you do period sex? Yes as long as I'm not cramping and as long as it's not heavy. He doesn't care and if needed I put a towel down

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? Only peeing of we've been drinking. I would never drop a deuce in front of him

    Sex toys- must have or never tried?

    I have a box of them for me. Dh is more tame so they aren't really used when we are together. I do have a question about logistics, of course only for anyone willing to answer..... if you use them together. .... does he use it on you or do you use it ?

    Shower sex: no! Logistics make it not sexy. I don't even like showing as friends with dh. Sometimes on vacations in the big shower dh wants to shower with me and I'm all like ugghh do we have to swap out who's rinsing and who's shampooing? Can't we just hang out after?!

    I never really use sex toys on my own.. We use them together. And he uses them on me
  • period sex? Doesn't happen here, not because either of us are grossed out by it, but just because we usually can't be bothered.
    Bathroom? DH has seen me pee and vice versa, never #2 because I find it weird. DS is always with me though, because well, 2yr old.
    Sex toys? Must have
    Shower sex? Fine if you can't sort the logistics, DH is taller than me by a fair bit so it doesn't work out

    Oh, what fun! I like these questions. 

    Do you do period sex? nah. maybe spotting a bit, but not full period. neither of us has any desire to do that. 

    Do you let DH/SO see you go to the bathroom? I don't really care if he saw me pee or if I saw him pee, but DH is pretty against it for some reason. whatever. I mean there have been times where I'm sure he got a glimpse. 

    Sex toys- must have or never tried? for our anniversary in October, DH bought a Magic Wand... Game. Changer. Seriously. Before that I could take them or leave them. It is fun to add some spice now and then but they didn't rock my world or anything. Since the Magic Wand. Holy cow! @sugarpixxie2DH and I use it together and we both enjoy it. I don't enjoy using toys on myself, or really doing anything to myself. To each their own, it just doesn't really do much for me. So, we always use them on each other.  

    Shower sex? not that fun. I have done some fun sexual favors for DH in the shower. but, actual sex is difficult for us to do in the shower. We do like to warm up sometimes before the sex in the shower though, occasionally. 

    Quickies? what qualifies a quicky? I think since we had a kid over 2 years ago about 50% of our sex is quickies. That is just all I had in me for awhile and then we kind of just got used to quick sex. We really need to work on that.

    Liberator shapes/furniture. We bought one, and then bought several more. The Esse makes being on top way easier if you have any issues- I have nerve damage in my spine. Life changer. Hello uncharted territory. Nice to penis meet you.
