In an unusual twist on bedroom etiquette, a couple is divided over the man’s habit of drinking from a water bladder during intimate moments. His partner argues it kills the mood, while he insists hydration is non-negotiable – even mid-passion.
The Thirsty Truth
The anonymous woman shared her frustration with The Guardian, revealing how her boyfriend’s hydration pack has become a recurring source of tension. "There’s nothing less sexy than hearing that plastic crinkle and slurping noises when you’re trying to be intimate," she confessed.
His Side of the Story
The boyfriend, an avid cyclist, maintains that proper hydration is essential – regardless of the activity. "I’m not going to risk dehydration just because she finds my water bottle unsexy," he countered. "Besides, it’s not like I’m checking my cycling stats mid-romance."
Expert Weighs In
Relationship therapist Dr. Emily Hart offers perspective: "While hydration is important, couples should prioritise mutual comfort during vulnerable moments. There’s a time for practicality and a time for presence."
