AIBU - no sex when the dog is in the room

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?

Yabu for referring to it as "DDog".

"How about a crate for when you're feeling romantically inclined."
snort! darling go to the crate! I've been reading 50 shades and I want you!!

Lock on bedroom door, I wouldn't want a pet coming upstairs anyway so would have stairgate but prefer to just not have pets.
Otherwise shut dog in a room downstairs or in garden.

Mine gets shut in the kitchen. If she's in the room she either jumps on the bed and starts licking us, or if she is in the crate she starts whining and scratching to get out. Downstairs in the kitchen she does whine and scratch the door, but with the bedroom door shut and kitchen door shut we can't hear her.

pumpkinsweetie · 10/09/2012 15:17

This thread has really made me chuckle, surely you can just ignore the dog if its merely just sitting there?
Or of course go to a room where the doors shut, put dog in kitchen.
My dog has actually jumped on the bed and started licking us when we have been at it, hence the reasons for now shutting the doorGrin

My boyfriend's dog licked my foot once mid shag. Very off putting. Bf thought it was hilarious.

(I checked that sentence about 10 times to make sure I didn't put foof instead of foot Grin).

YANBU

My cat is jealous and will interrupt in order to rescue my attention for himself. He does have the grace to look slightly discomfited though

Why the kitchen? I wouldn't want an animal in a food prep area, am surprised so many pet owners think kitchens are a good place for animals.

AnyFucker · 10/09/2012 16:03

I don.t prepare food on my kitchen floor

Fairylea · 10/09/2012 16:06

Why not the kitchen? Dogs don't walk on the worktops and unless you're eating food from the floor .... :)

I don't actually have any dogs. I don't like the hair but still.

I could never have sex with an animal in the room... Well unless it was a hamster or fish :)

TheGOLDCunnyFunt · 10/09/2012 16:50

Doesn't bother us, our dog sleeps in our room. But then again he is a greyhound, if no-one knew better you would just think we had a very realistic greyhound soft toy in the corner of the room!

Ullena · 10/09/2012 17:26

I suspect that the animals watching their owners are the same as humans who watch wildlife documentaries about animals mating. David Cattenborough, perhaps?

MissCalamity · 10/09/2012 19:11

I think I would be put off too, especially if he's staring at you!

My dear old cat (rest his soul) used to sleep in his bed on the other side of our bedroom, one night while OH was "attending" to my needs, cat felt the need to have a good old wash and was doing this very loudly - it really put me off and we had to stop Blush

Always made sure he was out of the room after that!!

MrsRajeshKoothrappali · 10/09/2012 19:12

One of our cats once sprayed on us while were having sex.

Confused

No idea what his problem was!

lovebunny · 10/09/2012 20:19

keep the dog out of the room. read the papers.

Lora1982 · 10/09/2012 21:31

yanbu but theres things their innocent eyes shouldnt see Grin my dog used to bark and run up to see who was hurting me he now stays in his box downstairs... ive also got a stairgate. my cat however is a cheeky cow and STILL claims half the bed when we are busy.

MothershipG · 10/09/2012 21:49

Grin This thread is so funny! Two of my dogs sleep on the bed, one usually gets off when the fun starts but the other doesn't budge so we just move him out of the way. We're dog sitting at the moment and I did wonder how the extra one would be, he just slept through it, but it's not like we're swinging from the chandeliers anymore.Smile

Just ignore the dog and he'll get bored and settle down or wander off.

iklboo · 10/09/2012 21:58

I'm sure cats judge. '4 out of 5 for effort, 2 out of 5 for technique'. Probably in a Craig Revel Horwood type voice.

AKissIsNotAContract · 10/09/2012 22:05

Lst: that's one of the funniest autocorrects I've ever seen :)

BlendingIntoTheBackground · 10/09/2012 22:10

If we get romantic in the living room both dogs get sent out the room. The smaller one now jumps straight of the couch and scuttles out as soon as we start kissing! She looks like some kind of embarressed teenager! And she can tell the difference between a cuddle 'n kiss and when something a bit more raunchy is about to happen.

They aren't allowed upstairs though.

NCForNow · 10/09/2012 22:12

the dog KNOWS full well what you're doing! He''s not wondering anything!
Tell him he's a peeping Tom.

loopy what if you want to do it DOWNstairs then!? Grin

theinets · 10/09/2012 23:06

Disgusting

eslteacher · 10/09/2012 23:17

I found it hard to adapt to having DP's dog staring at me while I was naked, and panting away enthusiastically next to the bed while we had sex...

But I've had to get used to it, as this is a dog whose spent his whole life sleeping in DPs bedroom and any attempts to change that now are futile.

I barely notice that the dog is there now, most of the time

Pandalicious · 20/09/2012 23:37

Yabu for referring to it as "DDog"

No no no - I could see your point about DFish, DRabbit or DHamster - they're just animals, DDog is family ... less grumpy than DP, less messy than both DC's and displays more consideration than all three combined!

Anyway, that aside, DDog is now officially and by mutual agreement banned from the bedroom for farting mid-shag. I love you DDog, but you don't half stink sometimes. Sad
