I shower every night about an hour before bed, so my sheets are always clean anyway.

When I was single, I would only change sheets after some babe would squirt all over the place during sex.

Yes. Single, straight guys can be gross. Lol.
I change my sheets every other day. Getting into bed with clean fresh sheets is one of my favorite things. I also must have a clean towel after every shower and I shower at least twice a day, more in summer. I am sure I am extreme compared to most.

Weekly for me. Every once in awhile it may go two weeks but that's only if the cleaning lady skips a week.

Geez, my cleaning lady doesn't do the laundry. Is it standard for laundry to be included? There are 3 guys in my household. If she were to do our laundry, she would have to spend the whole day rather than just 3 hours.

Single men change their bedsheets when they get subtle hints from women they've bedded.
Most single men have things organized and labeled:
Tee shirts are Mon, Tues, Wed, etc.
Boxer Briefs are Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.
Bed sheets usually are sold in individual sets, so there are rarely any spares anywhere.
If a Bimbo is brought home unexpectedly, spotless glassware is available by lifting the airtight lid of the former shirt box which holds prepped glassware just for such occasions.
Men clean kitchens and bathrooms only when they decide they don't want to lose females from their Chinese Poker Email List.
Single men would be happy to live in a cleaner environment but somehow that naked hippie chick who lives only to cook and clean for them and meet their every need hasn't yet shown up.
Its very hard for a single man to clean an apartment when he is out at a bar waiting for some stunning woman to walk in and hand him her card as she says to him "My place, now... and don't still be there when I wake up".
Why is it women don't understand these things?

Those stats seem way too high. I don't think I've washed my blanket/pillow case in over 6 months. They didn't look dirty or smell so why waste laundry money doing it?

You people do know about dust mites don't you? The average pillow will double in weight in 2-3 years because of the accumulation of dead dust mites and there droppings, which are invisible to the naked eye. The average mattress will double in weight in 10 years because of the same. Washing you bed linens regularly, once a week minimal helps cut down in dust mites by removing the dead skin particles that they feed on.

Dang things are too lite anyway. You worry too much. I
do my laundry when my wife complains for the third
time. She does the sheets but I do my clothes. When I
get around to it. When you're married for a long time
and no longer care what women think of you, its
amazing how your attitude changes.

Now I have to change my sheet. The cat chocked up a hairball on it about 5 minutes ago. Good thing I did change my sheets right after posting the story. Lucky for me I have last year's sheet and it's clean. I've been having these annual days for several years and I still don't change my sheets 4 times a year.

Nah, that's not so gross, the below is gross! I first got tipped off about this watching a crime show where police were looking for semen stains in a motel after a rape/murder. With their special equipment they found a multitude on the top comforter blanket; turns out in hotels that sheets get changed but the comforter almost never gets cleaned.

I remember in one of those college-prep courses in HS them male teacher said how his freshman year he washed his once, iirc when he went home for Thanksgiving. The guys laughed and the girls squealed. In college I heard of two morons who did not wash their underwear all year, turned them inside-out when they got too gross. Bleah.
I've always been a once-a-week man, maybe every two weeks if I was away on business a few days making them less dirty and I am feeling lazy needing an excuse not to do them. I find the two-week claim for women in the article hard to believe, as well as the 4-times a year for males. Maybe college-age males wait this long, but that might be it.

Back in college it was twice a year, I've since stepped it up to three. At this rate, I should be every other month by the time I'm 35.

LOL! Exactly my point about age! I'd expect the single girls to have a similarly shaped curve (but with a higher average frequency at each age). Single people in their early 20s don't clean anything ever. Gender has very little to do with it...

Left to their own devices, straight men tend to be
slobs. I know I am. I spend more than half my time
at a rental house we have pretending to work on
it. Its really where I live now, I only visit the other
house when I feel like it. I clean when I feel like
it, nobody is ever here except me. My wife wouldn't
come here if I paid her. I don't get cleaning, its
just going to get messed up again. I feel more
relaxed when things are a mess. At my wife's
nothing is ever out of place, it drives me nuts.
I tell this to my married friends and they want to know
how they can get this arrangement. I'm single
but I'm married. If my wife has any complaints, I
haven't heard them. It means more to a woman
to have a husband than to actually have to deal with
a husband every day. They have the status with their
friends and family of saying they have one, and not
having to look at him every day means they have it
all. She doesn't even know where I am most of the
time and doesn't care. We own both houses outright,
so that helps tremendously. She hasn't been here in
15 years and hasn't been inside for 20.

You know, EB, you speak heaps of truth, here. I've said for decades that the ideal marriage would occupy a duplex, make dates with each other, and have a mutually renewable yearly contract. Then again, I like lots of private time and independence coupled with a committed partnership for our mutual financial and emotional benefit. Darned hard to find. Sounds like you've managed it.

Thats funny, my wife and I date all the time. We go
out a couple times a month when she gets a restaurant
coupon. She invites me to go other places like her
family get togethers and I go or don't go, usually don't
go. She really doesn't care as long as we're still married.
We rarely even talk on the phone, but we do send a lot
of short emails.
The trick is not being dependent on my wife for anything.
I've always done all the cooking and my own laundry. She
eats Lean Cuisine every day. I have a dog and she doesn't
like dogs. She can say 'my husband' to all he sisters and
friends and rarely has to see me. This is what women want,
don't doubt it. We didn't plan this, it just gradually ended up
being the way it is. I wouldn't go back to living together full
time for anything.

It sounds as if you and I are both loners by nature, EB, but at different places in our lives. Having been alone and lived alone a lot over the last few years, I am currently enjoying living with two people, who's company I enjoy (one who is my business partner). Yet, I am glad I have my own space. :-) When you get to the top of the steps in our house, if you turn to the right, you enter my space, the master bedroom with master bathroom and also the fourth bedroom or den which is my office. Turning left at the top if the steps are my two roommates bedrooms and the bathroom they share. So I have my private space, where I don't have to deal with them, yet still can enjoy their company in the common areas, when I want :-)

Am I the only one who doesn't do laundry until it gets to the point I can find no new clothes? I hate doing laundry. It's a trip to stick the clothes in the washer, then clothes in the dryer, then picking up the clothes to bring back to the house. I really need to move to a house soon.

In my single days even as a young university student I did my laundry when my underwear wore out, and since i had about 14 pairs of underwear, that was once every two weeks. I can't wear underwear (and never could) more than one day in a row unless I was camping. The sheets would be washed at that time as well --- any young man without a sexual partner I think would be grossed out by sleeping in their own, ahem, stains. But that's just me.
Now I'm married and my wife handles the laundry and since she's not busy nowadays, the laundry is done twice a week. What I am finding now is that because the laundry is done so often, the same clothes end up at the top of the pile and get worn out quicker.
