We have already set the basic ground rule of no ass to pussy or mouth. Especially since we both know she is highly prone to UTIs. We definitely want to avoid that. I've also believed a little of anything that simply washes of is fine. It's the STDs that you gotta watch for. They don't wash off. I know blood washes off too but at some point I lost the ability to ignore it. Blood on my cock just mentally does me in. Lol!
Rarely have pre-planned sessions, what happens happens because we're enjoying it and it feels right at the time. Yes, there are times when you nip to the bathroom (together or alone) and 'freshen up' - with how you describe your wife, this would be the way to go!
At one time I was lucky to be in a relationship where anal was one of the things we regularly enjoyed, usually I could go in mouth/pussy/ass and mix it up as she was clean - I'd also had tissues to hand so I could do a quick clean without spoiling the flow of the moment (if I needed to step out, this was just part of out time together). But it comes down to knowing your partner and being relaxed enough to take whatever breaks as and when needed and making this part of the "flow". As always, have fun!
