Morning breath whilst you're in bed with your honey; do you get up and brush, or do you stay put and snuggle on in?

We politely cover and turn our heads. Anything more playful requires brushing. I hate those scenes in the movies where they wake up and start kissing – yuck!!!

definitely brush,

I’m going to sound really strange here but I have never noticed bad morning breath on my partner and seeing as he is always willing to kiss me in the morning I assume that my morning breath can’t be that bad either. Obviously it’s not nice and fresh but it’s never been revolting. Having said that, I always feel better after I have brushed my teeth.

We would/ used to get it onnnn. I actually hate morning breath. He thinks it’s great. Blech :/

We usually aren’t face to face if you know what I mean.

@Blondesjon Ditto. I forgot to add that in there

Yuck I must brush my teeth. Morning breath is gross!

Honey in bed? I hate the feeling of sticky sheets.

get up and brush my friend,—or go down below and blame the breath on her!!—-

I like to make an excuse to use the restroom and then at least rinse my mouth if I can’t also brush but my partner is sweet enough to snuggle me even when I have ick breath and crazy clown hair.

For me, its worth it to just get up and brush my teeth. It would make me feel self conscious and inhibited to think I might be grossing out my spouse with my breath.

Okay…if it’s not a regular partner? I partake in not infrequent one night stands that usually involve continuing the hanky-panky in the morning. These are not usually people whom I’m comfortable telling that they have morning breath (although it’s not usually terrible) so even bringing it up is weird. We tend to just ignore it, is there any solution here?

This reminds me of the Scrubs episode where JD and Elliot each have a tiny cup of Listerine on their bedstands and they just gargle, swallow (it’s just a mouthful of the stuff) and then get it on for some mornin’ hanky-panky :)

@eeveegurl: Listerine! I’m re programming myself to think, “Listerine is sexy. Listerine taste yummy. Listerine means “I love you”. Listerine means we’re going to have morning sex!

@hungryhungryhortence – I know! I’m trying to actually remember to do the same (and get to know a guy well enough for him not to judge me when I bring this up).
