I always wanted a water bed

[Anonymous]

OMG - my husband and I and our friends were just having a similar conversation about our memories of waterbeds (we were all kids in the late 80s/early 90s) and they did really seem like something rich people had!

I suggested it would be an amazing practical joke to put a water bed in our guest room and not tell anyone in advance.

I stayed in a youth hostel in the Austin area and they had waterbeds! This was back in 1998. I didn’t understand about turning on the warmer so I woke up freezing. It was fun other than that.

My younger brother had one in the early 90s.

My college gf’s parents had a waterbed. Oh man, we had sex on that thing literally every time they left the house or were out of town. She was really high drive I guess like most college-aged women. I don’t remember it being that challenging - maybe for certain positions where your knees would sink in and be unstable. I remember the sloshing noises. Oh, and the bed made sloshing noises too.

I think I kept it for a year and then went back to my normal mattress. I still remember that it cost $138.

How did you get the water in and out of the mattress?

Yeah I don’t get it

What’s not to get?? It’s only like 12 inches thick, the “waves” were minimal.

Seems awkward and uncomfortable when trying to be intimate

It’s not.

I guess for guys who are built and everything it would be hard for them

The person that has had more sex than I think anybody else I know had a waterbed, so it can be done. My DH’s good friend from college had a king-sized waterbed. We helped him move it like five times.

Sounds like you wanted to hook up with your dh’s good friend. Or maybe you did!

I did not but I had a few friends who did.

And if it overheats, a person can get poached.

I can imagine a guy getting in a rhythm & going to town. And the female partner saying,“Hey, I’m over here!!”

Probably not the best thing for an early teen male to have one. Everybody in the house would know when he’s takin’ care of business.

Or any guy if they hook up a lot.
