    Cut your damn fingernails!

    On Friday, Reddit user u/xk543x asked people, "What are some unspoken rules of sex?" People came through with some rules — both common and uncommon — that people should start following if they haven't already.

    2. "And for God's sake, scrub under your nails, as well."

    u/Kate1073

    3. "Switch condoms every time you switch holes."

    u/Atharax10

    4. "Pee after sex so you don’t get an HDMI (UTI)."

    5. "Please do not go faster/harder if you can tell I am about to cum. Do exactly what you were doing that got me there. Sincerely, my clitoris."

    6. "If you’re enjoying something, just enjoy it, and don’t ask them where they learned to do it."

    u/ArmyOfDog

    7. "Remove all pets from the room. It’s weird AF to make eye contact with a cat mid-sex — especially when they never look away."

    8. "Put a wash towel next to the bed."

    u/Sad-Airport-3396

    9. "If you wanna get busy BDSM style, you gotta have a detailed and frank discussion about it with the sexual partner first! You need to know each other's likes, dislikes, goals, soft no's, hard no's, what names they like, what names they don't like, and what safe words you will both have."

    10. "Don't be stingy with foreplay."

    u/GrumpyCatStevens

    u/Norwayaboo

    12. "Take your time warming up before anal."

    u/VarietyJones4

    13. "Wash your ass. Literally. Use water and soap on your bunghole, don't rely on paper alone. Nothing ruins doggy like a nasty smell in your face when they bend over — and who wants to suck a dick that's two inches from yesterday's breakfast?"

    u/snarksneeze

    14. "If a girl queefs, ignore it."

    u/katia000

    15. "Don’t ask a woman to brush her teeth after she’s given you a blowjob before you’ll kiss her. She’s just had YOUR DICK in her mouth."

    u/boredlawyer90

    a woman brushing her teeth

    16. "Always bring your own protection.”

    u/anonymousbully665

    17. "All stuffed animals OFF the bed. They don't need to see this."

    u/Oobleooblets

    18. "It's OK if a guy finishes fast, we won't make fun of you for it. Guys stress about that more than us girls."

    u/HungerGamesFangirl

    And lastly:

    19. "The best kind of sensual is consensual."
