Anyone who has any experience with one knows: Vaginas have liquid coming out of them. This is especially true if the owner of a vagina is having sex. Depending on the person, there will at least be some of the liquid coming out of the vagina at some point in the process. Some kind of absorbent padding will almost always be helpful in preventing stains. This is especially important if you think there will be some ejaculation, squirting, peeing, or period blood coming out at any point.
I made this mistake a long time ago when I fingered a woman on her period and got so much blood everywhere when she squirted that it soaked through the sheets and into the mattress, which required bleach to soak into it overnight.
Put something down to absorb it even if you don’t think anything will come out. Something might when you least expect it, so be ready for the flood.
I would prefer to be asked about this instead of a man preemptively assuming I’m going to leak enough to ruin his mattress before he’s ever slept with me.
Talk to your partner first!
I’ve only ever had to use a towel when on my period and I can get very wet.
Also don’t use bleach to clean period blood. Hydrogen peroxide or cold water works better.
Quiet leaky, the men are talking about towels
There’s a bunch of shitposting communities where you can be as sexist as you want.
I think he just forgot the /s.
I think even permissive sexism in communities that are meant for more serious subjects is a detriment to community building.
Everyone leaks when you’re having sex. A towel is not a bad idea regardless of whether it targets the vagina wearer
Her point was that you ask first before doing so since it’s a good idea to communicate. Nobody is against putting the towel down outright.
I’m so glad that you’ve decided a woman doesn’t know about vaginas and their various secretions. Thank you so much for mansplaining what a towel during sex can be used for.
Youre welcome. Can I help you with math next?
Or perhaps reading comprehension?
You completely missed the point of what she was trying to say about communicating with one’s partner and instead strawmanned her argument as being against putting the towel down.
Not at all. I said putting a towel down is a good idea regardless. It’s just a generally useful strategy for all of us_
No one is against using one, I’m just saying that it’s not tied to vagina users. I mean it can be if tying is your thing but no need for anyone to get upset, feel targetted, or otherwise insulted. As a non-vagina person I see benefit for controlling my part of any messes and sleeping more comfortably after. That’s not mansplaining people who have other needs, it’s just including more use cases
Ah, but your wording made it seem like you were explaining to a woman something she would know about vaginal discharge.
I guess, and hopefully we all understand we’re saying the same things …… but when I start with “ Everyone …” I don’t know how I could have worded it more inclusively. Oh well, time to drop the latest miscommunication and move on to the next
Considering I never stated a towel in general is a bad idea, you may be the one that needs help with reading comprehension.
Peroxide and cold water with soap were what I tried first but it just turned it brown lol. But what you’re saying is true for smaller amounts of blood, those do often work better.
