To wonder how people have sex with adult dc still at home

We were morning people, so our 2 adults sons would be fast asleep. I say were because we now have a 4 year old dog, who when he hears anything he’s straight upstairs and jumps on us, he can open doors so that doesn’t work. If he’s shut up downstairs then he’ll bark and wake up everyone. I just tell my DH you wanted a dog. It’s not a problem for us tbh.

We are lucky in that we travel a lot, we will have three month long trips this year and a lot of overnights/weekends away. Tbh we tend to have a lot more sex when we are away (COVID was a bit of a dry spell). Otherwise I am a morning person so kids are usually pretty reliably still asleep, we also have a lock on our door.

You win the prize for the most unhelpful, deliberately goady post.

We've got a 21 year old, still in Uni and living with us. We throw money at it. Trips to cinema, out partying with friends. I understand you have three and it might not be feasible.

I’d tell them outright that you need alone time and to bugger off this Friday night.

Get a Tv in your room if you don’t already, and turn it up. I have 2 teenage DC but have been single until the last 2 months. So they haven’t met him yet, let alone he stay over. He’s got a pre teen and a 6yr old who likes to sleep in his bed with him a lot! I think we will keep this stage where he gets babysitters going as long as possible as it’s going to be tricky having sex with kids around. I know I wouldn’t relax in the same way. Hopefully by the time we get to that stage the passionate sex will have died down a bit! Haha

Why on earth are they still at home? Don't you want them to grow up and live their own lives?

Quietly

I have a 16 year old at home they don't really care. They have noise cancelling headphones.

If you want some 'us time' back then dare I suggest you go at it 'hammer and tongs', break out the whips and chains and shout the house down...you'll find them looking at the property-to-let listings in no time!

In all seriousness, it shouldn't stop you having a sex life. Of course you'll be aware they're in the house but as long as you're not doing the above then you're entitled to your intimate time.
