I had assumed they were in a different room. They don't explicitly say they are in the same room as child although the white noise comment madee pause. Perhaps I missed the reference to being in same room

This is absolutely not ok. It's really really odd at best and at its worst I would probably be deleted. It's an offence to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child. Millions of parents realise this and resort to doing it on the sofa when the kids are asleep or when the kids are at school etc. I absolutely couldn't have sex with my children around, my brain just doesn't switch off the mother mode. It's really disturbing the Guardian printed this and more so the couple felt it was something worth sharing

This is repugnant. Why would they post this?

If the child is sound asleep move to another room (and lock/barricade the fucking door)

Wtf??? The fact the Guardian don’t know this is illegal, tells you a lot about those who run that newspaper.

I agree, this is really not okay

They…sounds as if they relish the situation.

Haven't they got a sofa? Or a floor with a blanket? Both of those seem preferable!

Charley50 · 12/08/2023 20:42

That's really disturbing. Why can't they have sex in another room? Or when their child is at a hobby or something? And that they both make a point of mentioning it is weird.

It is abuse and the Graun should know better:

"Sexual abuse: Involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities, not necessarily involving a high level of violence, whether or not the child is aware of what is happening. The activities may involve physical contact, including assault by penetration (for example, rape or oral sex) or non-penetrative acts such as masturbation, kissing, rubbing and touching outside of clothing. They may also include non-contact activities, such as involving children in looking at, or in the production of, sexual images, watching sexual activities, encouraging children to behave in sexually inappropriate ways, or grooming a child in preparation for abuse. Sexual abuse can take place online, and technology can be used to facilitate offline abuse. Sexual abuse is not solely perpetrated by adult males. Women can also commit acts of sexual abuse, as can other children."

That’s horrific, surely that’s abuse? The bit about the sound of the vibrator being like white noise conforms that they are and plan to continue having sex in the same room as their 8 year old child.

I thought this too

Appalling

Nothing surprises me anymore but I'm not reading the article. 😡
