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

Make us preferred on Google

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.
