Do you shower or freshen up before sex? Why or why not?

A question for both the girls and the guys, apparently. I recently had a discussion with some friends of mine about sex and sex habits. One of the topics that we mentioned was showering or washing up before having sex. When I mentioned that I always ensure my partner and I shower before having sex, I was told that that was strange. It seems that most people that I know don't always consider freshening up before sex. Instead, I thought that it was strange that people didn't and thought that people only had sex without showering in the movies and porn. With me, bathing before sex is important. I am extremely fitness oriented and I run and speed train daily for at least two hours straight. Jogging, sprinting, speed training, etc. causes me to sweat profusely, especially during this hot summer. As a result, I make sure to shower so that I could be fresh. It doesn't even have to be a long shower, just super quick to be fresh enough for sex. I always saw it as disrespectful to your partner to want sex when you're not fully clean. Also, as a person that pretty much does it all during sex, I just can't bring myself to do any licking or sucking if it's not fully clean down there, nor would I want that done to me if I'm not fully clean. I get that some people are into natural body odors and whatnot, but I'm not into that. What about you? Do you clean yourself before sex? Why or why not?

  • Yes of course, its normal to want to smell nice.

  • Do you shower or freshen up before sex? Why or why not?

    Clean out that snatch and azz as well nothing worse then porking your previous relationship deep and hard as she smells like a gas station because she didn't wipe properly American women get yourself a bidet I used to cleaning when I was in college women's bathrooms trust me you female smell.

  • "I was told that that was strange. It seems that most people that I know don't always consider freshening up before sex. " - that's disturbing if any truth to that. I hope it's just the people YOU know! LOL I think the opposite is what's "strange". I would think most people clean before sex. Or at least have that day. Example if it's evening, and I showered in the morning, that might be good enough depending on what I've done during the day.

  • Yes I always do, to be clean and smell good

  • I always try to be clean & ready for action because u never know what could happen. Hehe.

  • Yes, usually before and after sex.

  • Unless I've gotten really stinky since I showered, I usually won't shower again before sex. My girlfriend and I both enjoy each others natural smells much more than the smell of soap and shampoo. I actually really enjoy her completely natural when she's a little hot and sweaty. To me it's really sexy. I wouldn't want her to shower.
