Yes. To make sure I understood your girlfriend I consulted Merriam-Webster's online dictionary. She could have meant any or all of four things: to baptize, to name, to have a ceremony as with a ship similar to baptism, or to use for the first time. Baptize means to purify or cleanse spiritually especially by a purging experience or to name. So you basically need to think up a name for the bed and conduct a ceremony (a simple blessing might do accompanied by breaking a bottle of beer over the headboard) and use it for the first time. Although Catholic priests are surprisingly tolerant of odd blessing requests, in this case I would recommend a High Priest of Aphrodite who is more likely to be experienced and favorably inclined towards guys and their girlfriends christening beds. As for a name for your bed, a couple of years ago Woolworth's named one of theirs Lolita, which has a nice ring to it. One christening of a ship that used beer used a good Belgian beer, which certainly is a good choice.

Oh, silly guy! Your girlfriend simply means she wants to *ahem* "sleep" in the new bed with you. Consider yourself among the lucky, as in this case cristening the new bed means you're about to.. get lucky!
follow your girlfriend's religious beliefs.Show that you love her so much.
No need for a priest, if you do it right she will become very spiritual.

Based on the user profile:
shadow, mith, chris, spoon, biglig, awe, darken and me - 8 men
jo, linda, bandit, window, achieve, mystery - 6 women
I wonder why mysterygirl didnt like this answer?

No..you dont need a priest for that. What your girlfriend means is that she would like to have sex in the new bed. Probably she's so shy to say it in a direct way so she said it in an idiom. If you're going to call for a priest the priest would be the referee?what you thing about this?

There is no priest involved in christening a bed, although The Onion wrote an "interesting" article about the "tradition" of the White House beds and the Obamas. No need to fret, it's all in good fun.

Ha!
No, but may I suggest something romantic - like fresh rose petals scattered everywhere :) and maybe some mood lighting with scented candles.

I would suggest that you resist christening it like a boat on its maiden voyage, because a champagne soaked bed would get old really fast....
voted helpful: albanian, mysterygirl89
Yeay! Someone finally said the boat/ship thing.... they also name it during a Christening, well before.... maybe she wants to name it!
Yes. If your g/f asks you to christen the bed, you need a priest. How else can you get married before christening your bed? :)
Not unless you want to make your evening more interesting.
Seriously though, I am confident she's making a sexual advance on you, proceed with caution.
Urban Dictionary defines it as.
--quote--
To perform an act (ususally having sex or smoking pot) in a new location for the first time.

well well well .... ;) !!
Let' just say I doubt that you need a Priest to be doing that ( unless you both have some weird and very odd sexual Fantasy going on ..) !!
You should feel lucky and honored that she wants to " Cristen" her bed with you ( or break it in ... literally ) because no matter how long you will be together that is something nobody can do again with her ( unless she buys herself a new bed ) ... soooo if you think about it no matter who would be in that bed and no matter how many times she changes the sheets or bedding you have been the one who broke it in !!!!!
Me, as a Female, I would say knock her off her feet - you know her the best to say what she considers as Romantic or "mind blowing" and if you do it right you will be the one that is crossing her mind whenever she goes to bed !!

You might need a nun, too!

Now, to properly christen the bed, remember that you should liberally sprinkle it with holy oil. Beds like that.
http://static.huddler.com/imgrepo/thumbs/2/26/MassageOil-Amazon.jpg/265x265px-LS-MassageOil-Amazon.jpg
So do nuns and priests.
And don't forget, your helper nun should be sure to call out to god as much as possible during the christening!

Hey seriously, Im not sure if a priest is needed, but that is the funniest thing I have heard all day.

It might be a good idea, because you christen the bed as she means then you'll be getting news that she is pregant in about 2 months! Thats when the priest will start your marriage councelling and you will be a daddy!
good luck!
good luck!
i think you should ask her what she meant exactly. period. you never know if she might of meant anything else than what was suggested.
While christening generally refers to a priest blessing, I doubt that was what she was referring to. It would be in your best interest to ask your girlfriend in which way she thinks the bed should be christened.
What.
I never heart about priest who make a job in other peoples bedroom.
IThink you must do it on your own. Or ask God for an answer.
Good luck from Gimmo. (-:
