    Now jaysus, I knew that the habits of single men were something that should be kept in their own four walls, but WTF?
    A new survey has revealed that the average single British man changes his sheets only four times, wait for it, a year.

    According to Digital Spy, a poll was carried out by mattress company Ergoflex which explored the hygiene habits of 2004 participants.

    Of those who changed their sheets once every 3 months, 71% were men and 55% were aged between 18-24

    Eeeeuwwwww! Maybe science should check those sheets out, could be a cure to cancer there.

    To me thy should be changed every 10day... what do ya'll reckon?

    It must be when the sheets stick to them as they get out of bed.

    Gross

    At that rate it would be 'hard' to ball up sheets to fit in washing machine

    Be easier buy new ones!

    It also states that single women only change them every 2 and a half weeks and couple every fortnight. :(

    What is wrong with people?

    And for another cohort of men, once a year is good.

    At Christmas.

    **** into a football sock definitely helps you get an extra month or two out of the bedsheets.

    What about the statistics illustrating the number of men who broke their legs attempting to make the bed, let alone change the bed sheets?

    It's a dangerous chore

    Me neither.

    Do you people sweat / bleed / urinate / man-milk in your sleep or something?

    I'd feel so dirty if I didn't change them at least once a week. I usually change them every 3 days or so.

    Oh wait this thread can be about fapping :D
    Imagine the spunk all over the sheets. Good god, you could spawn an entire army with one 18-24 year old mans spunk on his annually changed sheets.
    I think they were called geenome soldiers in MGS...

    No joke, I once went home with a guy who had an uncovered duvet on the bare mattress.

    Needless to say, I legged it.

    I change mine once a week as well. It takes 5 minutes to change them so why not !!

    I don't see what the big issue is to be honest, would you wear the same shirt for a week ?
