I think doing it whilest a small baby is in a cot is very diffrent to doing it while child of any age is in the bed next to you, also i just dont under stand how any one could get aroused when you basically eye ball to eye ball with your child

I sure in cultures were people live in one room or huts this happens but not in the wester world were we dont have 6 family memebers to a room not when you have the CHOICE TO NOT HAVE SEX WITH A CHILD SLEEPING IN YOUR BED NEXT TO YOU WHY WOULD YOU DO IT.

Sex is not dirty and evil you know... That's how these little ones were created...there is another massive thread about it, just seen it.

Those who shag with baby in bed, aren't you worried you'll bounce on him/her or forget about her in the heat of the moment and baby gets hurt? I couldn't do it!

And I hate people saying first world problem because yes, we are a first world country. Therefore, most people have multiple rooms and don't need to have sex while the baby is there!

BlueBirdsNest · 25/06/2012 20:15

Would you have sex if it was your mum/dad/sister/brother asleep in the room?

Many people think it's ok however I feel uncomfortable with it

Been a while this may not work but here it is,Enjoy!

KittyFane1 · 25/06/2012 20:16

Lots of talk about 'no other choice'! Hmm
Unless the whole family lives in a tiny bedsit with one room only, there is a choice!
Do it in the bathroom, kitchen, sitting room instead.

Tambasher · 25/06/2012 20:16

Oh ditto! Smile

KellyElly · 25/06/2012 20:16

Bluebird NO WAY THAT IS GROSS :)

EclecticShock · 25/06/2012 20:17

Not really comparable as they are adults.

MrsHelsBels74 · 25/06/2012 20:19

I personally wouldn't but couldn't give a hoot if other people want to.

RagamuffinAndFidget · 25/06/2012 20:33

It's not really the same to ask whether people would have sex with an adult family member in the room. Like Eclectic says - they're adults, not children, so would be aware of what was going on, which is where the line should be drawn IMHO. A sleeping child who is not capable of understanding what sex is anyway is not going to be harmed by something that they are not even aware of!

And to those who are asking 'wouldn't you be concerned about bouncing on top of baby?' - most couples these days have at least a double bed, and WTF kind of sex are you having?! I don't know about you, but when I'm in the moment with DH I don't suddenly get the urge to start doing Tigger impressions all over the place Confused

Splinters · 25/06/2012 20:37

Why the hell did This Morning have these people on to argue about it?

Why the hell did these two women go on This Morning to argue about it?

Why the hell is the Mail bothering to report a debate that happened on TV?

Why the hell did you start this thread OP?

Who the fuck's business is it anyway?

EclecticShock · 25/06/2012 20:38

People can be too uptight about sex, causes as many issues as it solves IMO.

lovebunny · 25/06/2012 20:38

quite. just not your business. you don't want to do that? fine.

crashdoll · 25/06/2012 20:40

If there really is no choice, then obviously fine but in this day and age, I'd hazaard a guess that the majority of baby-in-the-bed shagging parents do have other choices. It's not about sex being 'dirty', it is private though.

KellyElly · 25/06/2012 20:41

Ragamuffin Tiger impressions lol :)

KellyElly · 25/06/2012 20:42

Tigger even!

Hullygully · 25/06/2012 20:42

there's one of these already.

RagamuffinAndFidget · 25/06/2012 20:45

Splinters Wouldn't AIBU be a pretty boring place if people only ever posted about things that were their business?

usualsuspect · 25/06/2012 20:48

I think it's ok if its a little baby tbh

crashdoll · 25/06/2012 20:50

How do you avoid squashing the baby? Does it mean you're limited to non-energetic, bouncy sex?

RafaprefersHobnobs · 25/06/2012 20:51

This again...

usualsuspect · 25/06/2012 20:53

I like reading all the outraged disgusted posts Grin

squeakytoy · 25/06/2012 20:55

"Ive had it with DC in bed. DC was under one. We had no option, child had to sleep on bed"

Of course there was an option... the option NOT to do it..

Splinters · 25/06/2012 20:56

The op clearly came on here to be unreasonable, why shouldn't I?
