Do you have sex while your child is awake?

[Deleted]

Yes, it has become a necessity sometimes. So every once in a while if the girls are napping we make sure J is entertained with a stack of books, blocks, or sometimes a mickey mouse clubhouse episode and run upstairs for a quickie.

[cinnamoncox]

Yes. Flame full alert: I've done it feeding them. They were super young and didn't know and it was the only thing that got us through the every two hour wakes in the beginning with the twins. Once they were like four months we stopped. They had no idea. None.

Yes, all the time.

I got flamed for this a few years ago.

Oh shit lol. I wouldn't have flamed you!

I can't even wrap my mind around a world in which my sex drive was so high that DH and I had to get one in WHILE feeding an infant. 

I wish it were 1/4 as high now as it was then
My whole twin pregnancy and the six months after my sex drive was so high I was almost embarrassed. Like I'd be practically pacing waiting for Dh to get home.

They're four now. I have to force myself twice a week. Dh wants more kids LOL

No I didn't wear them. I don't want to draw a diagram or anything,( ) but it worked out well. Like twice a night from like 5 weeks until about four months. Then we waited until they'd been fed and went back to sleep. They were up literally every two hours from birth until their first birthday.
My drive went back down after like 7 months, so.

[cinnamoncox]

Yeah, during pregnancy with the twins my hormones were like crazy sexy time. This was not the case with my singleton. Dh was more than pleasantly surprised.
I miss it because really, feel badly for my Dh because it's nothing like that now. Twice a week and I feel like we are doing it constantly. He casually mentions how great it was, with regularity.

[juliette21]

Who would have known there are so many freaks on MMM? LOL

We have snuck away a few times to have a quickie, mostly when DS2 was a baby and/or napping and DS1 was preoccupied with a movie. Now, it feels like we never get a moment to ourselves to even have a full conversation, let alone sneak off somewhere to get some. 

For now it's only after bedtime when the kids are asleep. I don't know how it will work when they're much older and don't go to bed at 8 p.m. anymore. 

[mpc]

I don't think we have, but with just one kid there hasn't been a need so far. I could see doing it later with more kids who are older.

[h]

Not frequently, but it has happened. I don't think we could really do it when DS3 is awake given the age he is at right now, but if the baby is asleep and DS1 and DS2 are watching a movie or otherwise occupied, then sure.

Yes. And in his crib in our room (with a quilt hanging in the side of his crib blocking). He doesn't sleep much and we don't let that stop us, never have. He can always use his college fund for therapy....

I know we're all focused on cinnamoncox right now but I saw this too and was like




because isn't your child older? Please tell me I'm wrong.

[cinnamoncox]

@starry I nursed them but pumped and bottle fed overnights so Dh could help.

Lol I saw it and was like sweet because I answered before reading many replies and then saw everyone like no no no and I was like gulp.

Wait, what?! While feeding them? I seriously need a diagram drawn, cinnamoncox. LOL.

Not missionary. I feel too conservative to diagram it lol.

Poor Dh brings it up every.chance.he.gets. Because it is not at all even close to like that now. And he remembers that time in our lives quite fondly lol.

It was like a crazy sleepless fog. They were up to eat anyway, so.

Oh, he helped all right...



ETA: I'm uncomfortable that I made this joke, but it had to be done.

Lol! I was going to say "if you know what I mean".

He did help though, we both fed one. And again, we stooped when they were about four months or so. I forget the exact time we stopped since it's been four years, but they were young enough to not know. I'm sure of it.
@mrswindycity I only have two hands! Lol
I pumped in a different room, what kind of woman do you take me for lol.
Jk, the pump was loud so I did leave the room for pumping.

omg i'm crying. @this wins at life forever

eta: please leave these on your desk for the office cleaners.

I made us a diagram out of paperclips. From what I can gather, it is one of these two options:

@this you are effing awesome

I'm slightly unsure of what's happening in the bottom pic, but the top one is close. Don't forget I have twins though.
Eta: you have no idea how hard I'm laughing at those paper clips. This (and @this ) made my day

[Velar Fricative]

I will never look at paper clips the same ever again.

[Deleted]

Yeah, normally DS is watching TV in the living room and we can generally time it depending on the show he puts on.

[turtlegirl]

Well, this has been an entertaining the ad to read on my commute.

But no, we have not done it while they are awake.

[jeaniebueller]

People, stop answering the OP. We have paperclip diagrams!

[meij]

Paperclip porn!! OMG, this thread took a turn for the fantastic.

[lauralala]

OMG I love the paperclip porn. @this wins the internet today.

[CloudBee]

 These are not sad tears.

[grosnl19]

No only when she is sleeping...maybe when she gets older and can be trusted in a room by herself for awhile.

[cjeanette]

I think paperclip porn needs to be included in all posts discussing sex.

[aspentosh]

This thread (and this!) wins the day.

But to answer the OP- not really. I just can't concentrate and she likes to follow us. Of course we've been in the middle of DTD and she's woken up. Then I mute the monitor and finish ASAP.

[chickens987]

OMG, I am so glad I came back into this thread.

I thought this post was all people answering the question so I hadn't come back since I answered it.
