AIBU - no sex when the dog is in the room

52 replies

Pandalicious · 10/09/2012 11:53

Several times recently we've been merrily shagging away, only to be interrupted by the bloody dog barging its way into the room. DP doesn't seem to care, but it puts me right off, DDog just sits there staring, probably wondering what the fuck we are doing. I can't continue until the dog is evicted, but interrupting DP mid-shag is bad as it takes ages to get back in the groove.

Should I just ignore the dog or AIBU?

Ignore the dog.

Reminds me of the episode of Inbetweeners when Jay's trying to have a wank but can't do it with the dog in the room. Smile

That would put me off too, can you not just close the door before you start?

shrimponastick · 10/09/2012 11:55

Ha ha ha.

We don't have a dog, but I think I would have to kick the dog out. It just doesn't seem right it watching so YANBU

How does a dog barge into a room? Close your door.

floradix · 10/09/2012 11:59

put a lock on the door.

MonkeyRisotto · 10/09/2012 12:00

The cat quite often comes in to watch us, the little perv.

Trills · 10/09/2012 12:04

Shut the door then. Or teach the dog not to come into the bedroom.

AnyFucker · 10/09/2012 12:06

Close the door?

Unless your dog has a special door opening trick, or you have house that doesn't have doors I can't are the prpblem

NervousAt20 · 10/09/2012 12:07

Lock the door but I would just ignore the dog

peeriePistoriuslicker · 10/09/2012 12:13

Our bedroom door doesn't close properly. The dog can come in at will. He often does this weird ventriloquism thing where just as things are getting fun and we've forgotten the dog is lying on the floor, he will let out a long satisfied doggy sigh. It puts me right off my stride! :o

No lock, but DDog can open doors very effectively. Could put a chair against the door but if it can't get through a door it scratches and whines to be let in, which is just as bad. We used to manage that way when the DC's were little, but they used to get bored after 30 secs and go away, DDog is more persistent.

I will try to ignore the dog, but I can't help thinking it would be like shagging with my MIL in the room or something ... watching ... staring ... judging ...

How on earth is your dog being in the room like MIL?! That's so completely different it's out of this world!

We had a scratchy dog too. He would jump on the bed and try to lie next to use, causing hysterics. Eventually he got used to it and would just come and sleep on the floor next to us...

Your dog isn't staring or judging. He's probably thinking about food, or the best place to sleep.

AnyFucker · 10/09/2012 12:16

Stair gate at bottom of stairs?

shut dog in the kitchen

You wouldn't.t hear the whining as much

degutastic · 10/09/2012 12:17

My dog hurls himself against my bedroom door in the mornings when he's liberated from his crate before I'm up. He's more than capable of opening it in a highly distracting manner. YADNBU.

How about a crate for when you're feeling romantically inclined.

degutastic · 10/09/2012 12:18

Crate the dog, don't have sex in a crate. That would be weird Grin

LST · 10/09/2012 12:20

We had 4 pairs of beady eyes on us.... It always puts me if but DP gates having to stop to catch all our animals to lick them out..

Nymia · 10/09/2012 12:21

MonkeyRisotto ours does too!

We put the cat off the bed before going for it, but mid-way through you might accidentally kick a warm furry bundle curled up at the end of the bed, or feel a tail brush your bottom (depending who's on top)... But more usually it's finish, move apart, and then see the cat perched primly at the foot of the bed, grinning smugly and purring in a very self-satisfied manner.

PigletJohn · 10/09/2012 12:34

Confused that's taking love of pets too far

Put a bolt on the door FFS and stop letting the animal be your boss.

ZacharyQuack · 10/09/2012 12:37

Have a supply of juicy bones under your pillow so you can chuck them into the hallway to divert the dog.

IRCL · 10/09/2012 12:38

YANBU, I shut the dog out when me and DP are in bed.

It's off putting.

Naysa · 10/09/2012 12:41

My dog its not allowed upstairs so I don't have that problem, but I have had to put all the downstairs door handles upside down coz he can open doors, and windows.

ScarletLady02 · 10/09/2012 13:14

PMSL @ having to have sex in a crate to avoid the dog. Ours isn't allowed upstairs but if the mood takes us downstairs he hides under the table...

We're not THAT scary surely? Not that I mind obviously Grin

MissPants · 10/09/2012 15:05

Oh we had this problem when we got our puppy a few years ago, we weren't living together yet so when the DC stayed at DM's I used to stay over at DH's house and obviously we liked to make the most of it...
We had just had the puppy a few days so we made a nice bed up for him in the bedroom and layed down some puppy pads then went to bed and started to DTD, just as the crucial moment was approaching we heard fart, splatter, fart, squirt, faaaaaaart. It went on for aaages and we stopped dead still just as the most vile stench drifted towards us. It killed the mood somewhat... the sight of DH leaping out of bed and running around starkers trying to find disinfectant and cloths with a rapidly deflating erection will forever give me the giggles Grin
I swear when we turned the lights on the puppy was smiling! We got a crate shortly after!
