to think trying to have a sexual relationship with teenagers

is nigh on impossible?!?

When kids are little, I thought sex was difficult, fear of them waking wandering in etc. But actually by 8pm they are tucked up in their beds, a tornado could rip through the house and they wouldn't wake up, and god forbid they walk in on anything, daddy tickling mummy is accepted as a fantastic game, and no emotional scarring.

Teenagers - they don't go to bed/sleep until you've gone past knackered yourself, they know full well what sex is, so you want to ensure there is no noise, no nothing that will give them the impression their parents are at it in the next room.

You wait for them to go to all night parties just so you can have a sexlife!!!

the title made me rofl

RecursiveMoon · 19/05/2012 21:54

The title of this thread is slightly ambiguous!

Grin at wanting your teenagers to go to all night parties though.

crazynanna · 19/05/2012 21:55

I have never clicked on a thread so fast in my life!

RetroMom · 19/05/2012 21:55

The title for this thread just doesn't read right!

Once they're teens it's easy. They're plugged into technology 24/7. They wouldn't know if the roof fell in unless it actually fell on them!

LikeaPairOfNunsKnickers · 19/05/2012 21:55

Well - I totally misread the thread title .....

Was a little worried you were interested in teenagers Wink

Our two had evening shifts at different jobs on the same evenings for a while, bliss!

MaybeADHD · 19/05/2012 21:56

Strange wording in title Grin

Passmethecrisps · 19/05/2012 21:57

Bloody Nora! That title made me nervous. Anyhoo, teenagers are life's natural birth control. I teach sex-ed and I can assure you that this alone is enough to quell any passionate thoughts.

I am with unchartered get them a smashing pair of earphones . . .

Nowittonight · 19/05/2012 21:58

Oops the titles not quite right there is it!!!! Blush

Well, you could always try what my parents did, and do it on the couch on a Sunday afternoon whilst they thought my sister and I were out....

I was aware my parents had sex by the time I was a teen. Maybe I'm unusual but I wasn't embarrassed, they were married in a loving relationship. Headphones in basically.

DP told me a cracking story.

DP's Brother as a child : , Dad's hurting Mum!
DP: FFS go to sleep, she's fine, I'll emotionally scar you in the morning, sleep for now.

Brother had a nasty shock in the morning! :o

How do children think they got into this world?

Nowittonight · 19/05/2012 21:59

Now how do you hand over the earphones - do you say "look for your own sake after 10pm every night, please damage your ears by putting the ipod on at full volume, don't ask why, but when you're older you'll have a lightbulb moment!"

OMG foxy that's what counselling was invented for!

Actually, this thread has made me wonder just exactly why my parents seemed just so calm and reasonable the first time I went to a beach party - they even supplied me with booze. Now it all becomes clear. . .

dexter73 · 19/05/2012 22:01

That is what weekend mornings are for. Also teenagers are often out so you just have to take advantage of afternoons, early evenings etc.

Debeez · 19/05/2012 22:01

Sorry, DP just added

"Our parents sent us to Sunday school to get us out of the house, lot's of Sunday sex on the couch Foxy. Hence my 7 brothers and sisters"

Must get DP a mumsnet account.

StuckintheBellJar · 19/05/2012 22:02

Almost think that listening to your parents do it and being hideously embaressed is a right of passage!

Could you do it on the floor and wear a gag? There's a whole world of fun to be had with that approach....

FoxyRevenger · 19/05/2012 22:02

UnChartered · 19/05/2012 22:03

they were invented by teenagers to drown out the sounds of their parents humping away like they'd like to be but are too young/embarrassed/single to be involved in.

honest

TwllBach · 19/05/2012 22:08

My parents always seemed to have unashamedly loud sex followed by a quick wash in th bathroom.

It was bad enough when it was just me and DB, but when we had sleepovers it was horrendous. It was even worse when I was allowed to have my boyfriend stayed over.

shinyblackgrape · 19/05/2012 22:12

OMG - I opened this thread thinking it it could only go one way! Glad to see the title was slightly misworded!

MaybeADHD · 19/05/2012 22:14

thats terrible Twl how did you get over that one?

My dp talks fondly of hearing his parents have sex when he was a kid, he says things like 'I like that my dad was hot blooded man' Confused

I do remember the odd noise from my step mum and dad I just blocked it out.

iceandsliceplease · 19/05/2012 22:20

Grin at everyone else who read the title the same way I did!

Tis easy Nowit - you buy/build a house with three floors, stick your DC on the top floor, encourage them to have secrets so they don't emerge from the pit that is their bedroom, and you & your DP have the run of the house. Wink

startail · 19/05/2012 22:43

My parents house has paper thin walls, I used to ask my dad if he'd had fun.
He wouldGrin
DM would lookBlush

I liked hearing them, confirmed they were happy and that there was hope for fun even when old.

They must have heard DH and me, although we did always use the bed against the outside wall.

startail · 19/05/2012 22:46

This house has proper brick internal walls, DD1 is the far side of the stairs and DD2's room is an extension so has an external wall in the way.

TwllBach · 19/05/2012 22:50

Maybe it hasn't affected me in the slightest

I'm off to get ready for bed - it takes a while, its the chastity belt that slows me down.
