Waterbed

Let me just start off by saying I am a 23 year old male living in Illinois. I am weeks away from moving into a place with my friends. In doing so, I have been thinking about things i want to buy for my room. For some odd reason, a waterbed popped in my mind. I don't know anyone who has ever had a waterbed, but I kind of want to give it a go. I told someone about my interest to get one, and they said waterbeds are creepy.

So my question is, am i going to be "that guy" if i get a waterbed. Is this going to scare girls away? Should i reconsider buying my waterbed and a lifejacket?

EDIT:
2.) Will i ever have sex again, if i buy a waterbed
a.) yes
b.) no
c.) even if you don't buy a waterbed, you never will again :-(

Buy it anyway (but find a way to test it first, to make sure you find it comfortable).

If you take a girl to your bedroom and she thinks you are creepy/perverted for having a waterbed, tell her it's because you have some weird condition in your spine. She'll probably feel relieved, and at the same time interested in trying out something that sounds kinky.


I don't remember if it is comfortable. I slept on one once, but I was so exhausted <cough> that I would have slept tight even on the floor.

When I was growing up, there was a store not too far from where I lived that sold waterbeds.  I dunno if it was the big thing in the area or if it was just the fact that it was the 80s.

Anyways, their advertising pitch to show that you don't know anything about waterbeds had a trapeze artist bouncing on a waterbed with a full wine glass sitting on the pillow.  Looking back on this, it was probably a trick, but I do recall visiting that store and checking out said waterbed, and it definitely was less "watery" than most.  Since then, I've determined that waterbeds have too much variety to ever generalize.

Know your facts though.  Waterbeds are heavier than most beds, and I've heard of apartments that do not permit their tenets to have waterbeds above the 1st floor.

As for the creepiness factor, it's all in how you play it up.  If you're cool and casual, and can pull off the look of successfulness, it's not creepy.  If you're more of a slob, it gives more of a king of the trailer trash look (along with mullets, beer bellys etc.  Note that some girls go for this).

The best advice is to not care.  There's another thing you already have that sometimes creeps out the opposite sex, but you've already presumably figured out a way to make sure they're not creeped out by it.  If you're not sure what I'm talking about, check your pants.

Best thread title ever.


I think it would only be creepy if you make a big deal of it, and use it as a selling feature.  Only discuss if she/he/they raise the issue.
I'm on a horse.

Sex and a water bed so it really is the motion in the ocean...
Keep an eye out for that moon...

I guess it might improve it since it can change shape...but I'm thinking about those HUGE ones...

I slept on a waterbed for 20 or 25 years.  I loved it.  It was huge, a "California King"  with lots of room to ramble.  Everything was better on the waterbed.  And on a cold night to slip into that warm, cozy bed was great.  I would have one now but cannot find a store that sells them in my area.  You can adjust the softness to hardness by adding more water.  You can either sink deeply into it or not.  The heaters wear out every three or four years, maybe five or so, I forget, but otherwise they are no problem at all.

Go for it!

Had one of those California king beds as well. Hated it with a passion. Lasted two weeks and got rid of it and have never had the desire to ever have one again. Uncomfortable as hell. Impossible to try and read in bed. Every move your partner makes turns the bed into a roller coaster. Take forever to drain and fill if you have to move. Take forever to heat up from a new fill. Impossible to get the blankets to stay tucked in. Shall I go on?
If we still had ours, I'd give it to you for free.

I guess your two weeks counts for more than my twenty years.  You've got me there.
