having sex whilst sharing their bed with a sleeping baby

[tittytittyhanghang]

AIBU to not be that surprised at this (Daily Mail Link Disclaimer) -I think the jist of this is that a third of Swedish parents admit to having sex whilst sharing their bed with a sleeping baby I don't find it particularly shocking, isn't this what happens in most countries where co sleeping in the usual way?

Nowt wrong with it at all although illogically makes me feel a bit ick

Doesn't the baby bounce off the bed?

I was a bit so what-all I thought is doesn't it mean more people tend to cosleep in Sweden

Certainly was what happened in my house when we were co sleeping. Big deal - not. Love the way the article only blames the mothers? No fathers present then?

Gigondas thats what i thought too :)

Flag, i think it was the mothers that took the survey so it would have been them 'admitting' this information, although I assume both partners are present at time of getting it on

Do you remember the thread about the mother who was having sex while breastfeeding?

I think it's probably the usual daily mail reporting BUT that said, I think it's pretty grim to shag with your baby / child in the room. It just wouldn't feel right.

you shag when your baby is in the room, unborn, what difference when its on the other side? Not like it knows, and its been normal for most of human existence to both cosleep and have all your other children pretty damn close too.

no left, that may have been before my time here. But I do remember a thread about someone who was having discrete sex in the same room as her toddler, and I can imagine the breastfeeding thread was as lively as that one!

Trioofprinces you know current guidelines are to have your baby sleep in the same room as you for a year if I remember rightly. That is a lot of time to go without sex!

When you put it like that Joan, it seems even more reasonable :)

Ok in the same room, but I could not think of anything more off putting than a baby in the same bed.

A big turn off and makes me feel sick thinking about it. Flame away.

Thats the thread I thought of straightway too left.

I've done it plenty of times with DCs right by the bed can't see much diff tbh

Who says sex has to be in the bedroom?

I wouldn't do it, but me and dh tend to get a bit, um...energetic so not sure how that would work...

Baby in the same room, yes. With a blanket hanging over the cot side so (sleeping) baby can't see.

In same bed, yucky! I just wouldn't/couldn't!! Still, whatever floats your boat!

I couldn't, but I like the freedom to be, erm, expressive.

Sex while bf wtaf? How does that even logistically work?!

Each to ones own but slightly bizarre. I have no problems with having sex when the baby is in the moses basket/cot. But I'd be worried about hurting the baby somehow.

I prefer my lurving to be unresticted by the fear of squashing small humans.So on that grounds alone,it would be a no-no for me :)

I remember the thread about the poster who had sex with boyfriend on the sofa while her toddler wandered around. I can't see that poster's name now without shuddering.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with it. Personally, it's not something I was comfortable with, although we did it when DS was in his cot right next to our bed, occasionally.

Wouldn't ever have sex with a baby in bed with me. Ick! It's different if they are asleep in the cot I suppose.

Incidentally, in that 'feet' photograph, what are they doing...smaller feet are on top of bigger feet, but both sets of toes are pointing down...pegging?

Nowt wrong with it unless I was afraid the baby would roll off or something. I might find it offputting though. Have no real idea since have no dcs but in thory it sounds ok.

Of all the things people get their knickers in a twist about....
