To ask if you still have adventurous sex with your dh?

I fantasize about things being a bit more raucous and spontaneous but invariably we generally end up in bed when we are a bit tired? If you are adventurous still how do you manage it with dcs and all that?

We co-sleep with a toddler, so we have to have 'adventurous', out-of-bed sex Grin.

tabulahrasa · 24/04/2015 13:17

Can't help you, I have teenagers...they never sleep!!

I'm thinking of building a she'd at the bottom of the garden Sad

TiggyD · 24/04/2015 13:17

Yes. I still have adventurous sex with your dh.

tabulahrasa · 24/04/2015 13:17

Shed...that's a rubbish autocorrect, lol

mrsmeerkat · 24/04/2015 13:18

Nope .. It is usually with baby in the co sleeper cot and faint shout from toddler in his room.

lilyinapot · 24/04/2015 13:19

My dc don't go to sleep until near 10ish which makes things a bit tricky!

Every single night in our dreams

BertieBotts · 24/04/2015 13:20

How old are they? We do but we are still disgusting newlyweds so tiredness seems fairly irrelevant Blush

lilyinapot · 24/04/2015 13:25

My dc are 11 and 8. I wish I'd appreciated it more when they were little and fast asleep at 7pm! We do still have sex but I'd love it to be more impulsive.

10 years into marriage, 2 dc's. It's always the same, nothing adventurous at all. Little ones might hear, and we are tired.......

Charley50 · 24/04/2015 13:47

In bed or on the sofa, quickly or not so quickly, whenever we felt like it. Easier if we you go to bed at the same time though. Maybe send each other dirty texts throughout the day to 'get yer freak on..'

Sallystyle · 24/04/2015 13:48

No I have teens who are still awake when we go to bed.

tilder · 24/04/2015 13:51

Our kids are generally in bed by 8pm. Would say we go for quality over quantity. Generally about once a week and definitely more adventurous now.

stopgap · 24/04/2015 13:59

Yes. Married 11 years, together 15. Two kids, 3 and 1. We have sex four times a week, and it always seems different with regard to tempo, duration, foreplay etc. I don't talk about this with friends, as I know a lot of people struggle with frequency and quality when they are parents to small children.

ATerribleBeauty · 24/04/2015 14:23

Tight, you know your DH? Well, I've had him.

ATerribleBeauty · 24/04/2015 14:24

Tiggy. Aaargh autocorrect.

SaucyJack · 24/04/2015 14:25

Not at the moment, but I live in hope.

Anyone want to babysit?

DrDre · 24/04/2015 14:30

Doggy style is as adventurous as it gets for us. Normally early in the morning - our kids generally sleep until about 8 at the weekend.

BigFatGoalie · 24/04/2015 14:30

What is this "sex" thing of which you speak?

badRoly · 24/04/2015 14:34

Grin at bigfatgoalie

Between Dh working away and an insomniac preteen on the other side of our bedroom wall, I am fearful of healing over never mind sex being adventurous... Wink

Oh for the days of sleeping babies/toddlers

What is this sex you speak of?

We have toddler and co-sleeping, ebf 3 month old. Sex is a distant memory.... although I did take pity on poor DP and gave him a bj last weekend. I'm feeling so unsexual I didn't even want the favour returned!!!

Miggsie · 24/04/2015 14:46

Yes - DD has a hobby which means she is out of the house every weekend for 3 hours!

We do sometimes get interrupted by the cat...and once by a chicken..I hasten to add we were not involving them, they just were interested!

IKnowRight · 24/04/2015 14:53

Spontaneous? Not so much these days, eldest dc is old enough to hear and understand. Tends to be late night and quiet (ish)

Adventurous? Well as we get older and care less about being embarrassed with each other, we've experimented more and found all kinds of ways to make it worth the wait. We plan it more, tease each other about what we might do.

Tends to be only once a week on a Friday night after a bottle of wine these days though :(

morethanpotatoprints · 24/04/2015 14:54

23 years married and 27 years together.
Yes, lots of adventurous sex, the more adventurous the better Grin
kept us together all this time, I'm convinced.
Try and get awy for a weekend or send kids to grannies, hire a nanny for a weekend, anything, but keep your sex life good.
