I always wash the sheets and the towels. Doesn't everyone?
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In previous house-sittings the owners asked me to put the sheets and towels in the hamper.

I was about to say I hadn't ever been a guest with a partner, and then remember I did once. Only once. And yes, we had sex (...pretty darn good, memorable sex!). But in my friend's long condo, the guest room was right at the front door, and her room was all the way on the other end of the house.

I would suggest this rather than plastic wrap to protect your mattress. They're water proof and can't be felt under a mattress pad.
I never house sat.

I'm with ita, I'd have sex on the couch, but not in the bed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
See, it's almost better to have sex on the bed, because the linens can be laundered, whereas on the couch if there's any unexpected...extraneous fluid, it would need spot cleaning!
I used to never have houseguest sex, but we're on the road so much it's almost inevitable at this point. For a while I refused to when we were staying with my folks, because I think with our lack of children, they are still in denial that we ever have sex, but I'm over it at this point.

This! I would much rather houseguests/sitters had sex on my bed and laundered the sheets than had sex on my couch!
No sex on the couch has actually been a roommate rule, when I've had roommates.

Yep! That just makes good sense.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I don't have an issue with house guests having sex on the bed, but on my couch I don't consider cool. It's much more difficult to clean a couch.

“Not dead yet!”
Breaking into the sex while housesitting discussion to mention that I performed my first dance showcase in costume (gold is so NOT my color, but the costume itself was nice). I stunned my children (always good) and after the performance had a lovely older lady approach my teacher and me to ask if we were instructors.
Seeing as I was nearly swallowing my tongue, my instructor fielded that question. *snicker*
