The things they discuss over on Mumsnet ;)

Marginally better than wiping it on the curtains, I suppose!

how many mums do you know with a penis?

OMG what a discussion if one could lower oneself to call it that. I could not.

My DD posted this on FB! Very funny thread!

Actually, you can learn a lot over there!

I can't access the link - perhaps I'm too innocent...

It started with an ikea ad for a mug!

To answer OP no

For the benefit of anyone else who can't get the link, this is what it's about.

Well that's a bit disappointing. No Gransnetters willing to divulge their post-coital habits?

Hilarious thread! I can always rely on mumsnet for a laugh

Post-coital habits. I seem to remember a football match was usually involved!

As for dunking, why not just wait for the next bath night?

I had a boyfriend once who used to scurry to the bathroom straight afterwards to wash his!

I guess I'm intrigued Ana because my current lover of 4 months (which means he's lasted longer than the previous two) is a 'scurry to the bathroom straight afterwards' type, and I have never comes across this before.
I'm more than happy to snuggle up in wet warmth and am trying to move him away from the jumping out of bed thing. It smacks of repression to me!

Justine Roberts' (co-founder of MN) husband used to be an editor on the Guardian. I think that is probably how come Mumsnet gets into the newspapers so much. Must be very helpful, knowing the right people.

According to Wiki, he edits Newsnight now.

I agree, NannaAnna - I'd never come across that before, or after, thank goodness! He also used to do a horrible sort of throat/nose-clearing thing in the bathroom in the morning . He didn't last long...

Rose was your pub supper good?

I have thought a bit about this, and I reckon it is ergonomically impossible. Think about it. Unless he stands up and leans over the brimming beaker, he is not going to submerge very much of his equipment, is he? There will be quite a bit which does not reach the water.

Elegran we don't know the size of the beaker. It could actually be a pint glass. Or, as we are talking post-coital, he may well be one of those men who beat a hasty retreat, so to speak

He could hold the beaker in his left (or right) hand, roll over and dangle his bits over the side of the bed into the beaker. Seems feasible to me!

Ana The imagination boggles. The poor man could fall out of bed!

It is not the size of the beaker, it is the angle of entry.To dangle something in water, the container has to be held upright, or the water will all spill out. The penis is joined to the pelvis more or less horizontally. In droopy mode, a fair bit of it will dangle in the water, but there will still be a bit at the root left undunked. That bit presumably came into contact with the same "contaminants" as the tip.

If he is so fussy about cleaning it he would be better to wait a few minutes and wash it in the bathroom - or share the bathroom. As someone said on MN, after what they have just been doing, why balk at sharing a bathroom?

Oh please, the thought of dangly bits in beakers is a bit off-putting. Why can't he sit on the toilet and pour the contents of the beaker over his nether regions or wash it properly if he is so afraid of prolonged stickiness. Is it just me or are modern men wusses ?

Just had another thought - why not use wet-wipes? Simples!

Elegran I always appreciate your 'common sense' and 'matter of fact' approach to most topics and never more than on this one.
