To refuse Hs attempt at sex at 6.30 on a week day morning when High School DC about to wake in their nearby rooms

I get up at 6.30 and get breakfast and stuff for DC to leave at 7.30 (High school), their alarm goes at 6.30 too and rarely they do saunter in if the door were unlocked- but even otherwise the rooms are all close by and they would be up and about and this is more embarrassing now that they are grown and would easily have guessed.

Found it disgusting and a turn off and annoyed with H

Especially as he knew I would have been willing after they had left for a lie in as we both wfh and have the whole place to ourselves and full privacy till late evening when they are back.

Is this a fetish that emerges in couples in 40s and 50s to pounce and try it on at inappropriate times? Does it keep men from getting bored to be risque than safe.

Not having it.

Yeah ‘cause a woman that says no to sex deserves to be treated like shit eh? 🙄

This issue is not her not wanting sex, most people have said that's fine. It's her labelling her husband wanting sex with her in the morning as a fetish and actually suggesting that to him, as though he was some kind of deviant getting off having sex near kids.

I read all sorts of things and believe it or not I'm entitled to. I just find it mind blowing the number of insecure women who think she should be at it whenever he has a hard (on or else he will have an affair ).
And so many women think she's wrong to say 'No'.
Its up to her where, and how ,and what time of day....unless you all want to have a go at a little bit of coercive pimping!

Oh don’t see this, I see people saying it’s wrong to say it’s a “fetish” or act like it’s weird.

It’s not.

One partner wanting sex, but the other doesn’t fancy it, it’s not unusual is it?

Literally no one is saying OP is wrong to say no. They're saying she's wrong to suggest he was wrong to suggest it, or that he has a fetish, or that he was treating his son a sexual rival.

Fetish as in I meant like = stay out, I am not opening the door to your knock, asking for breakfast as I am in bed with your mother - she's my wife before she is your mum , and I am the alpha male of the house BS.

Maybe I did overreact. I asked him if he wanted lunch after seeing all your responses

Why cant they make their own breakfast?

Its bizarre of him to expect sex from you...a quickie or not ..when the kids are next door and could walk in on you.
He knows what hes doing.
And you did the best thing to tell him 'No'!
I think all guys have a morning erection because thats how they wake up. Its not fair on you to expect you to adore it when you've got to get up.
He knows, as well as the rest of mankind that he just needs to urinate and the erection will be deflated.
I am amazed at the number of sexually compliant women who would jump into action just for a morning erection!
Or so they say in this forum .

You certainly seemed pretty involved earlier today @Dewdust

now “sex is a private matter” you say

Rokabe · 27/03/2026 18:24

Dewdust · 27/03/2026 18:22

I just dont understand why you should ask the world if you should have sex or not.

Its YOUR DECISION.

And why others are so obsessed with whether or not you make breakfast.

How could it alter your opinion? If your hubby is openly shagging you with the boys in earshot they will start saying things like : " Mum was busy shagging dad and forgot to give me diner money/ sign my note/ read my journal . "

Does anyone else agree that sex is a private matter and doesnt involve the community consent of mumsnet?

What drew you to thread? Clearly one involving sex in the thread title

I mean, god forbid a bloke should ask his wife for sex - what awful behaviour!

People who think like this shouldn’t be surprised when he has an affair / leaves for someone else in five years time…

Does your husband ever get up to do them breakfast?

They are almost adults... they can make their own bloody breakfast.

blackpooolrock · 27/03/2026 17:54

I think most men and woman wake up horny. Men, IME, tend to wake with a hard on and want to do something with it - if they wait an hour, it's gone and they've moved on. This is just an observation, i'm not saying it's good or bad - just the way it is.

I think your reaction was way too strong, just say no and move on.

I think your teenage kids need to make their own breakfast and get themselves ready for school, you aren't doing them any favours by doing everything for them.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a quickie if they are downstairs getting breakfast and you're upstairs doing whatever.

Maybe I read a different thread then. My apologies.

I think you’re being a bit OTT thinking it’s some pervy fetish involving your children effectively!

I think he just woke up horny as many of us do and fancied a bit before the DC fully got up. I don’t think this warranted a Mumsnet thread…

I mean, it was a man doing something a woman didn’t approve of. That always warrants a Mumsnet thread.

Do not compare a very poorly woman being raped to you being asked for consual sex while you were awake in bed.

So it was before the alarm and before your “teens” alarm?

Earlier you said the issue was the teens alarm was also going off?

The story is changing.

Dick pressing in sleep was other times Boogie

In all honesty, I haven't read your other thread. But the way you say you spoke to him, and the way you talk about him. I imagine his side of this relationship doesn't feel that great either.

It's not about him being in the mood and you not being in the mood. But you treating him like he's some kind of disgusting sex pest with a creepy fetish is really unreasonable and abit cruel. He attempted to initiate consensual sex with his conscious wife, in their bed, with no one else in the room. That's perfectly reasonable to do. You didn't want to have sex at that moment. Also fine. Treating him like he's disgusting is absolutely not fine.

I can't imagine liking someone who treated me the way you say you've treated him today.
