Recently I had two experiences that made me wonder about something. It’s been said that women have two different sets of panties. There are the sexy, hot, lacy thongs. And then there are those so huge they can cover the back of a Volkswagen Bug, that women wear when they don’t feel so hot and sexy. Does this same principle apply when it comes to bed sheets or linens?
A couple weeks ago I was at he house of a new FWB. CM35 is 5′3″ blond with blue eyes. CM35 is divorced with 2 kids. And like most single parents, her kids are gone for 1/2 the summer with their father. She and I met during one of my online dating experiences. She and I met for drinks one evening after work. Our conversation was good. We shared common interests. We seemed to get along well and we both decided to see if we are sexually compatible. Since this was a work night, we planned to see each other on the weekend. So the following Friday evening we decided to hook up. So after I spent the evening with some of my friends at Shops of Legacy, I made my way to her house. When I arrived it was 130am. Even though I had a couple drinks, I noticed that the linens on her bed seemed to be a bit rough. I would imagine that these type of sheets could’ve been used during the making of Broke Back Mountain. They didn’t match up to her style of dress and personality. Honestly, I pictured these type of sheets for someone who enjoyed going camping or spending time in a mountain cabin. I began to wonder, are these her replacement sheets? What happened to the ones that are on the bed when a woman is expecting Mr Choco-Goodbar? Hmmm..
The second time I experienced it from a different perspective. Last week I had a overnight guest. I won’t mention her name because I promised that I wouldn’t. But after spending some quality time talking and just relaxing, we decided to finish the evening with some intimate monkey love. We made our way to my bedroom. As things heated up we peeled back the comforter and climbed into bed. As soon as her ass hit my bed she proclaimed, “I love your sheets! They are so soft and not what I expected.” Not what she expected? She rolled around my bed smiling and rubbing her hands.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t spend $300 on a set of sheets for my bed. But I’m not sleeping on sandpaper either. I just want to be comfortable in my own bed, even when I’m alone.
Is it too much for a guy to like 800 count sheets and to be comfortable? So I’m curious if bed sheets are on the same level of a woman’s panties. Are their different sheets for Monday – Friday? And do you have special sheets for the nights when you are having hot monkey love sex?

Well, I guess nice sheets are a plus. But my guess is you are a very lucky man.
The fact that you have considered the sheets speaks volumes about your dating life. Some guys are just thrilled to be asked into the bedroom and are just worried that they had a couple drinks and just attempted to take their pants off over the head!

No one should EVER sleep on sheets with a thread count less than 300. Ever. Period.

I couldn’t agree more. 300 count is like sand paper.

YES!!! I pay attention to the sheets…and what they look like…It’s a definite plus if a guy has nice sheets and a made bed…
E, you are over the top anyway…so, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 1200 ct. Egyptian cotton sheets on your bed…LOL…
Just don’t do the satin sheets…for a couple of reasons…they are to damn slick and a drop off the bed in certain positions would not be a good look…and it may be a lil too pimp for a dude to have satin sheets…

You know I like to be comfortable… Why not right?
I’m not trying to get some slick sheets and end up with a hip out of place.

Very high thread count fabrics may be nice and soft but they aren’t as durable as low-count fabrics. I wouldn’t go higher than 800. What are you gonna do when someone puts a hole through your fancy sheets?

well since my bed sits 3 1/2 feet off the ground..there’s not a good chance that they will stand on my bed.. esp in shoes…lol
I’ve always liked looking at those shoes from behind.. feet on floor. I’d hate to get an eye poked out..haha
But I will take note of that if and when I get a bed that’s lower.

LOL…nice blog. Sheets are important but you really have to analyze whats gonna be going on on the sheets. Some of my best sheets are strictly for rolling around in and will absolutely not be in any position to get any type of stain whatsoever on them. Then there are the next level down which are still nice but inexpensive enough to withstand water-based, water-soluble products or fluids of any other kind

I’ll admit that the comforter can come into play when you start talking about water & silicone based products. Either way… I guess my basic level linen are made for comfort.

hmmm you bring up a couple good points. Maybe I should send out my Christmas wish list now and hope someone gives me a gift from Bed, Bath and Beyond. (hint.. hint.. hint)

Thread count is important. Something else to consider is color. Certain colors tend to hide bodily fluids (semen, blood etc.) and god forbid “skid marks”, better than others.

The first time I rocked out to high thread count sheets was a revelation. You can’t go back. I always have good sheets on, even for off nights, and I recommend that every woman do the same. Tip: Go to Marshal’s and get the 600 thread count for like $60. If there’s a better deal out there please let me know.
