Plaidophile: Post-coital clothing exchange

Post-coital clothing exchange (media)

by fluffy at 8:52 AM

So, one of the things that's often portrayed in the mass media is that after two consenting adults of the opposite sex sleep together, the next day they are wearing each others' clothes. Is there some sociological basis for this standard indicator (akin to running water in a sink), or do people actually do that, or what?

The obvious guess would be that it's more that if the woman stays over, she needs fresh clothing, and the man's clothing will generally be larger (and thus fit), but in a lot of things it seems that the man ends up wearing the woman's underwear afterwards. Is that supposed to just be a humorous commentary on the cliché that has itself become a cliché?

So I think it's just a cliche. This has never "happened" to me because I either brought my own clothes or left early enough to change back.

I gotta say, I look hot in a slip.

Wait, not hot, that other word - horrible. Right - that's the one I was thinking of.

And size 12.5 wide women's shoes? Forget it, not unless you date Amazon women.
