When I was young and single, the rule was "no visible spots or odors". If a sheet set could go six months, it went six months. In my experience, this was a pretty typical thing.

The fact that the average male has lower standards for cleanliness than the average female isn't exactly news. I'm pretty sure that the "5 Second Rule" was invented by a guy.
