Mind your manners in bed

Did you know there are sex rules?

And it's not just putting on a condom and practicing safe sex. There is actual etiquette for having sex --and it isn't just saying please and thank you.

“The most important thing we can do is to be considerate and respectful of our partner,” says Peter Post, a director of the Emily Post Institute and author of Essential Manners For Couples: From Snoring and Sex to Finances and Fighting Fair – What Works, What Doesn’t and Why (Collins).

It is wrong to jump out of bed post sex and run to the bathroom to wash the sticky come off your thighs (or where ever it landed) and that can hurt your partner's feelings, according to the article.

But seriously, it does feel really gross after a few minutes, what's a guy or girl to do?

But if you don’t want to bask in his glory, “you don’t have to lie there and cuddle,” Emma Taylor, one half of the sexpert team Em & Lo, authors of Nerve’s Guide To Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen (Hodder & Stoughton Ltd.) says. “Nice guys will grab a towel, run it under the warm tap and wipe you off. That can be a tender, intimate post-sex moment.”

Or you can suggest a post-coital couples shower. Or, have a towel handy so you can both stay in bed.

Does anyone really put these rules into action when they are getting action? Then again, Mom always said you'd get far with good manners. Will you get a multiple orgasm with good manners too?
