I am a single guy in my mid 30s and have never had sex before.
I am just curious to know: Do people usually change their bedsheets after having sex?
Is it because the bedsheet will have many sweat stains after sex? And that is why they immediately change their bedsheets after having sex?

No, I fall asleep
Well that depends on what type of sex was being performed
There are other fluids that can end up on the sheets that may warrant laundering sooner, but generally people just wash their sheets regularly (every week or two), and that’s still sufficient for sexually active people.
We’d be drowning in laundry if we changed the sheets every time
No never
Nope. Never.
If you think it’s going to be extra messy (period, squirting, etc) just put down a towel. Other than that the phrase “sleep on the wet spot” exists for a reason.
only if she drenches a considerable portion of the sheets
Depends what we did, but not unless I really have to.
Eg; I have a seperate sheet for candlewax, that gets messy fast. But regular sex… not really. Maybe that one time in summer when the entire thing got drenched. But even then… meh
nope we don’t….
Most sex really isn’t that messy especially not with a towel underneath.
If she squirted everywhere you might have to, generally managable by putting a towel or two down depending on what kind of squirter she is. It was years before I found my first, so odds are you won’t need to bother. Some women don’t squirt at all. In general, most of what you’re going to be is sweaty and content and tired.
I keep a waterproof sheet on the mattress, makes clean up a lot easier later.
In general though, it won’t really impact your sheets or mattress more than regular maintenance and laundry would normally call for. I wouldn’t worry about this at all, if you do need to change the sheets, great job! She’ll definitely be coming back.
We aren’t all sloppy squirters out here buddy. As long as there is no juices making it onto the sheets, you should be good to go. As far as sweat, I would doubt that’s a major factor for many people.
No. We put a “love blanket” beneath us and that’s sufficient
Just put a towel down!
We usually prepare for the mess so not really. With condoms the mess is contained until you get to a bathroom and pull it off.
Everyone needs to get a blanket to throw on top of the bed for sex. Washing that is easier than redoing the sheets every day.
No, we change them much more often than that … every few weeks at the latest!
Honestly, slept with lots of girls in my day and never had 1 single girl “drench” anything. I don’t think that much fluid would be normal and I don’t think I would even like it.
Even if they were super wet and I could feel it around my crotch area it never got all over the sheets like people say it does on the internet.
Maybe I was just a bad lay, but I don’t think so. Pretty sure most of them came. lol.
Some of y’all are gross if you aren’t putting down an extra layer (towel) and probably have some funky ass sheets. So, OP, to answer your question, a little bit of A and a little bit of B. No we don’t typically change our sheets afterwards unless visibly wet with various body fluids, but we always use a towel in-between us/sheets because that’s easy to do and hygienic.
Only if a significant amount of bodily fluids end up on the sheets, and I’m not counting sweat
Nope my wife and I don’t. We wash our sheets every other weekend. But we keep a spare set in the closet just in case they get too wet during sex. Quick replacement of the wet sheets and we good, no sleeping in the wetness!!
The pros do it during.
No that would lead to a lot of laundry for most couples. Put down a towel if you know it will be messy
Do you have more than one partner? If the answer is yes then yes, change the sheets between partners.
Otherwise wash your sheets once a week.
Depends on the quantity, quality, and type
What?
Not every time. I don’t want to keep my washing machine and dryer running 24/7.
as i dont live with my s.o. i try keep the sheets to contain her smell for when shes not sleeping with me.
Usually not. Depends how messy things got, though.
You think I last long enough to sweat?
The living rooms god damn mess but yeah
Putting a towel over your bed sheets is also an option, just saying.
Depends on the state of the sheets honestly
It depends. If it’s hella messy, I’ll do laundry.
Most of the time, it’s not too bad. Some careful rolling techniques keeps most the sheets clean.
On average, I’d say I do sheets every 2-3 weeks. Unless their is a mess.
nooo that’s 6 changes a week 😩
Only if we’d forgotten to lay the big towel down.
With my wife or long time partner; no. Wil casual flings; every time.
We don’t no.
These comments are hilarious. We keep a linen closet full of sheet sets, super easy, pull the sheets off, place clean ones on, dispose of sex sheets in hamper for regular laundry activities.
Nahhhhh
I just grab some tissues to keep it from falling out of her onto the bed. Usually no wet spot!
Use an extra towel or sheet man. It’s what I do
Well every couple of days, depends on how much it’s absorbed…
I have not had sex either but in the future I’d just lay a towel or maybe one of those waterproof sheets on the bed before hand.
Tbh I just do my best to pull out above some piece of laundry I can wipe up with instead of leaving a mess on the sheets
No, not really. Have there been times we did, absolutely… But definitely not every time, and it wasn’t from sweating lol.
You have to put a towel on the bed when having sex so that you dont dirty the sheets
In my experience, most people don’t. Some people put down a “sex towel” or blanket. Others don’t care and just do it on the bedsheets.
Bask in the magic you have just created
Nah wife and I like to sleep in our mess lol
Back when I had several partners coming over in one week I’d change sheets between partners because that’s the hygienic thing to do. And of course the ladies appreciated having fresh sheets to sleep and have sex on. I had many sets of sheets and would just do a load of 2 or 3 sets of sheets every week.
Now that I have one partner I just have a towel specifically for sex and it generally does a good job and keeping things clean enough that even if she comes over a couple times a week I can wash my sheets once a week and that’s fine.
Always bring a towel
To an extent depending on how sweaty it gets and how many fluids come out
It depends. If it’s a long term partner, no. If it’s a short term guest, probably.
waterproof fleece blanket. its a game changer
No not after every time, god that would be a pain in the ass.
Depends. Wife and I don’t usually leave stains, but when I go to see my mistress she soaks the mattress, so we strip her bed down every time. My other girlfriends are kinda hit and miss, but generally “it depends” is the answer. None of us are heavy sweaters.
We throw a blanket down just incase
I’m genuinely shocked at so many not washing their sheets after sex. Maybe because I’m a woman…I wash my sheets every week regardless of sex, but after every time when there’s sex.
We change ours once a week. I think it’s maybe different with ltrs than single dudes.
Pretty much have to
Depends on how wet she gets 😉
Use a towel if needed
Nobody changes the sheets immediately. And if anything it would be because of bodily fluids.
Depends, some sessions have a LOT more body fluids that can wet the sheets. Not every session requires changing.
That being said, if you’re going to frequent multiple partners change the sheets in between.
No. I’m not changing sheets every day.
nooo that’d be 6 changes a week 😩
Uh because it may have cum stains. It doesn’t just stay in one spot.
Immediately after? No. The next morning, maybe.
The reason isn’t so much for sweat, but for other bodily fluids that can tend to end up on the sheets (less of an issue if you’re using condoms, but still a thing).
Yes. And clean your bathroom before you bring a lover into your space. Like, really clean it.
no, but they probably should
btw sweat is not the only thing staining the sheets lol
I wash my sheets every week. Towel down before sex is a good way to make sure the sheets last through the week.
No, but for general maintenance, we change our sheets twice a week, regardless of how much sex we’ve had
Put down a waterproof blanket.
Once a week my dude
Not if you’re living together.
If it’s some random date then it has been recommended to change the sheets.
Women have good sense of smell.
Gotta wash everything. Everything.
Depends if she squirts lol
Told my girl last night, “Don’t worry babe, I’ll sleep in your wet spot”.
She thought that was romantic.
It’s usually not necessary. Things don’t get THAT sweaty and messy most of the time.
But yeah, sometimes the final act makes a bit of a mess and you gotta make the executive decision that I ain’t sleeping in all that. Sweat is generally not the issue, though. If you really expect that you’re gonna sweat that much, nothing preventing you from throwing down a towel. Lot easier to wash a towel than all your sheets.
Fuck no, changing the sheets is a pain in the ass and I’m too tired for that. We bought a waterproof blanket. It’s nice and soft, and makes cleanup as easy as folding it up if it didn’t get too messy, or throwing it in the hamper if it did. We love it so much we eventually bought a second, smaller one for travel (or when the first is in the wash).
No, I just roll over and go to sleep.
We usually have sex after changing the sheets. There’s something about clean sheets that gets her motor running.
Single guy. Mid 30s. Still a virgin. Bro you have about a 1000 more steps to take before you need to worry about the bedsheets.
I have never seen this happen or heard anyone say they do it. Honestly most sex isn’t messy.
No, we just put a towel or blanket down each time
OP has yet to learn about the wet spot.
I’m more likely to change the bedsheets after a big steak and getting the meat sweats than I am after sex. It’s usually just one fairly localized damp spot rather than my whole damn body.
No. Just when they are soiled or very sweaty. So it depends on the sex.
Mattress protector under the sheets. And we use a waterproof pad with a towel on it, saves the sheets, 😝. Got the pads off of amazon. Came in a pack of 4, throw them in the washer and dryer with the towels, easy peasy!
No, but I changed the tablecloth.
No, I don’t think I ever changed the sheets right after having sex, at least not because of the sex. I will often change the sheets before sex tho. Also, you should wash your sheets once a week regardless, 2 weeks minimum
WATERPROOF MATTRESS PROTECTOR. We use two on top of each other. My girlfriend gets really sweaty (among other things) and it can get a little disgusting. So yes, I always change the sheets after the deed. Or every week if not.
Nah, I’m not changing my bedsheets after 23 seconds of use.
