Question: How to Clean Up After Sex
I have a quick suggestion for a sexy Friday article. I have been hoping that someone would write a piece on cleaning up after sex. My girlfriend have been struggling with this issue for a while. I hate that after love-making I must get up to wash my hands and face and therefore miss out on precious post-sex cuddling (the best kind!). By the time I crawl back into bed after cleaning up my partner has already dozed off. My girlfriend complains of the same problem when I am the one on the receiving end. Sex is messy and I don't want to kiss my love with a face full of lady-juice! How do other lesbians deal with this issue?
Answer:

Dear Sticky Face,

Have you though about keeping a damp towel or washcloth next to the bed. That way, you can wipe up quickly without having to leave the cozy bed.

Or you can get some of those disposable towelettes and keep them by the bedside for spontaneous sex. Make sure to get a brand that is easy on the face.

And I know that now everyone feels this way, but some people enjoy the taste and smell of sex on their face and hands after sex. Some women prefer not to clean up at all right away.
