What People Are Really Doing When They 'Freshen Up' In The Bathroom Before Sex

The bathroom.

A lot of life preparation happens in the bathroom.

It's a room that readies you for anything.

Even sex.

That can be an awkward place to run to before sexytime.

But sometimes it is necessary.

Let's get ready...


Redditor Maggie_cat wanted to hear about what people are actually doing in the bathroom pregame life's spicier moments.

So they asked:

"People who go into the bathroom to 'freshen up' before sex—what are you guys actually doing in there?"

We all take that little extra time to spiffy up before sexy time.

I meditate that it goes well. That's me.

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up.
