An Open Letter to People Who Sleep in the Nude (with you) - A rant

This post is not directed towards people in the current throes of passionate sex. For that you should, of course, be naked. And for people who are persistently in anticipation of passionate sex, then sleeping naked is not only a trigger for such activity, but an efficient and well thought out point of preparation.

This open letter in particular is for people who actually just *sleep* with another person and do so in the nude.

In case dear naked sleeper, you've ever wondered why your partner sleeps with (at minimum) panties on and perhaps PJs, I am happy to articulate why, despite our grand affection for you, we look at you with puzzlement and confusion. Please don't judge us a prude or uptight. Based on the fact that you're already sleeping with us, we should be well beyond that discussion. The truth of the matter is this.

You FART in your sleep.

A lot.

And the fact that you sleep in the nude tends to put us panty wearing sleepers at a level of discomfort.

Because somewhere in our head we're thinking that there are microscopic particles of fecal matter that have now expelled themselves directly from your butt to the sheets.

The sheets that we are naked in together on a frequent basis.

And those microscopic particles of fecal matter in even your *silent* and *odorless* farts have now transmitted themselves to a medium where they will next come in contact with the PJ wearer's skin.

Skin which is scrupulously cared for.

Exfoliated.
Shaved.
Waxed.
Soaped with imported botanical extracts that are responsible for decimating a good square kilometer of rainforest.
Lotioned.
Oiled.
Massaged.
Powdered.

And cared for scrupulously on regular basis.

And there you go just FARTING on it and attacking that beautiful skin with your infinitesimally small and microscopic particles of fecal matter.

HAVE. YOU. NO. SHAME.

Clearly not, because there you go. Sleeping naked. Next to your PJ wearing partner every day. Oblivious to your skin sacrilege.

The PJ and Panty wearers at least offer a minimal *barrier* to these attacks on *you* by wearing our knickers. Why must *you* be so inconsiderate and disgusting.

At the least, you should change the bedding more often.

Jerk.

Sorry, but I have to laugh. At Burning Man, guys who walk around with shirts and no pants are called ShirtCockers. And a fellow-burner who was tired of seeing this visual monstrosity developed a fabulous "weapon" called a Pants Bazooka that fires pants that offending Shirt Cockers. It just isn't a good look. Not in the desert. Not in the house. (Not even in the bed!)

I was terribly worried about you when I thought this was serious, which I thought until I read your comment to the contrary. While I was reading it, I thought, "no wonder men think women are uptight, uppity, impossible to please." But, as I was chiding you in my mind, I was adding my own commentary to the world at large:

1. Because you know perfectly well that I usually sleep naked, you can assume that if I am sleeping with underwear on, it means the shop's closed for business. Your incessant knocking will not cause it to open.

2. Can whoever invented the "master suite" explain to me how you think that hearing our husband's peeing in the middle of the night is going to improve our lives? Given that we all know men don't close the door? Jeesh!

I am so sorry I read that! Now I am going to be thinking about all those particles floating around the next time my partner farts! I, myself, have never farted so all that has completely nothing to do with ME

What a hoot! But seriously, is it the bane of all relationships that the men fart in their sleep so much? I remember one time with my ex- I had this dream that I was being suffocated in a gas chamber...woke up and the stench about killed me, (hehehhe). After ten years of deciding I really liked sleepig alone, I have a man regularly in bed with me now and have to leave from time to time because I can't breathe.

What's up with that?

Damm. This is the problem with women - you NEVER talk to us! Unlike you, we're NOT telepathic; you know, women=cro-magnons, men=neanderthals. Hey! Maybe that's why the latter became extinct! No...?

I thought your rant was too funny! Keep allowing your imagination to run free without restraint. Its a refreshing change to the seriousness of life.

Of course the rant is in jest. I do completely *heart* my honey. I just find it funny when he farts in his sleep and if *I* happen to be awake still (possibly woken up by the noise) then my imagination tends to run a bit wild.

Your imagination is your worst enemy. You might want to try and get over your fears because they are just making you miserable.
