But now I'm wondering which std is statistically almost impossible to pass on?

well, then, hoping that the next duvet-musser isn't a complete asshole, i guess

Hep-C, for the curious.

It's not really an STD I guess, since it's almost impossible to get it that way, but for the purposes of my having been put at risk unknowingly it's p much the same.

Fair enough, thank you. I hadn't really thought about that as an STD. I have a few friends who have it, but I presumed they all got it through drug use.

Bingo.

You know, speaking of duvet mussing, what do boys have against sheets??? I haven't met one in...ever? that used a top sheet. Hardly ever. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THAT THEY WANT TO SLEEP UNDER DIRTY DUVETS?

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

I never use a top sheet but I wash the duvet/duvet cover once a week.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link

I am iffy on duvets and sleep above a fitted sheet and below a top sheet and light blanket

mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link

also if the sheet and blanket aren't tucked under the end of the bed I get fussy

mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link

Oh my god you're like the Brigadoon of men.

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link

If the sheet and blanket ARE tucked in it makes me want to die.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link

Laurel you must be talking about a comforter that you don't wash, right? Cause I change the fitted sheet and duvet cover once a week making a top sheet just an extra nuisance imo.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

I don't mean don't wash ever - just less frequently.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

i wish i had dishy stuff about my breakup but it's more like nerd gripes. "-you claim there are no good sci-fi writers besides borges (EYE ROLL) even though you haven't even read much sci-fi besides dumb cyberpunk, despite me frequently recommending and offering to lend you stuff you would have liked. p.s. neal stephenson blows."

My husband conditioned ME into the top sheet - I was a comforter sleeper (would wash it monthly or so. I was gross, but only just so..)
I like a good tuck but don't bother all the time. If it's too tight it hurts my toes (I am the most delicate of flowers, clearly)

xp LOL b_g you're amazing. Good fights! (I have no opinion on this)

I literally cannot sleep in a bed with tucked in covers. The first thing I do at a hotel is untuck all the bedding. I need my feet exposed.

b_g fyi I would like to meet you privately in the parking lot to discuss matters re Neal Stephenson

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link

top sheet- yes
tucked in- please
made perfectly every morning- naaaa

I blame the prurience (darraghmac), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link

top sheet yes
tucked in always
bed made...meh, it's nice when I change the sheets but I don't require it otherwise. I'm really only ever in my bedroom to sleep. If I spent more time in there reading or whatnot I would def make my bed.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link

My god you tucked in people are all crazy. It gets so hot and stuffy!! The only thing worse would be if you said you wore socks in addition to tucking. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I hate tucked-in as well, feel like i'm TRAPPED

kinder, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link

I have to start out tucked in and cozy, so that I may throw the sheets about in my sleep when I warm up

yes! i feel this way. i cannot have the end of anything be tucked in anywhere while sleeping and must kick it free before i can even think about relaxing in bed.

rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link

tucked-in is the only way to ensure the blankets will be laying evenly across your body when you pull them tight! savages.

mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link

y'all need bedding suspenders

Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link

if you don't tuck the top sheet in it will become wrapped around your body as the night progress leading to mummification

that's why Love made the weirdos (brownie), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

brownie otm -- untucked is wrong, bad, evil

Biff Wellington (WmC), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link

Rayuela otm. As mentioned earlier I don't use a top sheet but I'd be OK with it if it did. I usually sort of sleep with them covers wrapped around me 1/2 in 1/2 out anyway.

I am surprised at the number of tuckers. I am also near certain we've had this conversation before and think I may even recall WMC admitting to wearing socks?

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link

I like to fold the topsheet over the comforter when I pull it up under my chin, and if the sheet isn't tucked in it slides around and annoys me and I hate having part of me covered with sheet and part of me covered with comforter and there is SCIENCE here, these things must be in place or it's sleep anarchy!

Thanks, Grady.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link

i had no idea that tucking was so popular. i was always mystified by what I had been interpreting as some sort of hotel bedding convention that made no sense and was only in place for appearance sake!

rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link

how do your feet not feel all compressed up in the bottom corner of the bed? this i madness.

pvmic bellvm (goole), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

x-psot - Me neither! Being tucked in is such an awful feeling to me that I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

i wish i could grow up enough to make my bed in the morning - not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) but i don't see this ever happening.

john zorn has ruined klezmer for an entire generation (bene_gesserit), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link

I do wear socks at night in the coldest winter months. I radiate a crazy amt of body heat everywhere except through my feet.

My feet don't get forced into uncomfortable positions in bed because I sleep on my side and because I leave enough slack in the bedcovers at the foot of the bed to allow my feet to move.
