Have you ever had the passionate

... getting in the door, kissing and throwing yourselves up against walls as clothes fly off towards a moment of passion or is that only what happens in the movies? 😆

Lighthearted obviously but I do wonder if this happens in real life, especially on dating first "intimate" encounters or is more the reality of awkwardly undressing and being embarrassed at everything possible 🤔 😅

Yes, with two men in my 49yrs on this planet. I wouldn’t date someone now if I don’t want to rip their clothes off.

BellesAndGraces · 18/02/2026 21:26

Yes, in my 20s. That man was a ride.

ImogenBrocklehurst · 18/02/2026 21:29

Yes, when I met my husband.
Less so with previous partners.

Playingvideogames · 18/02/2026 21:39

Yes, a few times.

ExperiencedTeacher · 18/02/2026 21:41

Yes, with my partner now, several times. He only has tl look at me and he drives me crazy

Screamingabdabz · 18/02/2026 21:44

Only once, when I was a young woman. The sexual tension was mad and when we finally got our chance…

Unfortunately he was a dud. And had a button mushroom. Fun in the moment though.

I popped home from work at lunchtime on A level results day for my oldest son about 32 years ago. I opened the front door and there were clothes and underwear on the hall floor, going up the stairs. I quietly closed the front door and went back to work and have never mentioned it once!

Tinyyetsatisfying · 18/02/2026 21:49

Only once, when I was 21. A friend of mine and we’d had outrageous sexual chemistry for weeks. Finally, at the university Halloween disco, under the guise of costume and a few drinks I finally took him back to mine. I can’t even remember if the sex was good but the kissing and undressing was unreal.

Then he had to hide in my en-suite bathroom because my boyfriend came home 🫣

What a plot twist!

I’ve never had it. I’ve kind of had it in a car though. I know it’s not the same.

badgersbadgerseverywhere · 18/02/2026 23:10

I’ve never had that, and I’ve always thought it looks improbable, performative and uncomfortable on screen. I’m surprised so many of you enjoy it!

I have really enjoyable sex btw but have always preferred a slow build up.

slaintebab · 18/02/2026 23:15

I have with DH. It was fun but an absolute faff walking back down the stairs picking up different items of clothing!

PabloEscoBear · 18/02/2026 23:22

Yes, a few times with different men. Defo with my current partner. He’s hot!

Dontlletmedownbruce · 18/02/2026 23:44

Nope never. I can't imagine having no self consciousness at all. I also cannot imagine swiping a desk with one hand and allowing everything fall to the floor like they do on TV.

PomegranateVase · 19/02/2026 00:00

No, this has never happened to me sadly, but I’ve always wanted it to!

AreEyePee · 19/02/2026 00:01

I have with a few exes, and with DH a few times at the beginning of our relationship. Kids have put an end to that for now sadly.

I'm a passionate lover and thats how I like it.

DramaAlpaca · 19/02/2026 00:03

I wish!

Oh absolutely, far too much mess 😅

Only with a FWB - that man only had to
talk to me and I’d be melting and getting naked.

nzeire · 19/02/2026 04:37

Yes, with my husband at the beginning, it was awesome, couldn’t keep our hands off each other

less so now :)

and a couple of lovers in my 20s

nzeire · 19/02/2026 04:37

Lovers. Cringe.

beasmithwentworth · 19/02/2026 05:16

Yes in one relationship. It was the only relationship I have had since my marriage ended and lasted 3/4 years. It was the first time I experienced how amazing sex could be once you are with someone who you have that kind of chemistry with. Sex with ex husband was ‘fine / satisfactory’ .. or so I thought until after my divorce!
I am quite an unlikely candidate for this kind of passion / ripping clothes off so until this relationship happened I would have thought the same as you op.

He used to pick me up from the station and we could barely wait the length of the journey back to his knowing what we’d be doing as soon as the door was closed.

Nuts when I think about it now but it was fantastic at the time!

BessieSurtees · 19/02/2026 05:23

Yes definitely numerous times and on one occasion there was an image that was so hot that I wanted to remember it forever I sort of photographed it in my head it was 1985 and I can still recall it and it’s still a pleasure. Not even the best sex I’ve had but a great time.

TittyGajillions · 19/02/2026 05:41

Yes, lots of times with the husband and before him with ons and casual partners.
Have you never had that OP?
