little blue can of lube from the bathroom. I assume you and your girlfriend used it this morning (during Saturday kitchen, btw we turned up the sound on tv to stop our ears burning) and forgot to take it back to your bedroom.

As you are so careless with your more 'personal' items I feel quite at liberty to also mention that you do need to make more of an 'effort' with your girlfriend, rather than rely too heavily on lube.

Thanks for that son.

You guys are hilarious! So what did you/are you gonna do OP? x

This thread has made my day!

Lube is recommended to put on new tattoos has he had one recently?
I'm shocked that people think it's disrespectful for an adult to have sex in their home.

fastdaytears · 17/10/2015 21:23

OP's ds can help you with that, fastday! not totally sure I'm what every 22 year old boy dreams of.

werewolf I would agree with you in general, but I would always know whether I'm making so much noise that other people can hear. I have an alone in the house volume and a let's-not-disturb-everyone volume. Maybe I'm not doing it right though and everyone else is getting a lot more carried away!

expatinscotland · 17/10/2015 21:27

'I'm shocked that people think it's disrespectful for an adult to have sex in their home.'

You are? When they're so fucking loud you have to turn up the telly in what is YOUR own home, too?

Think the 'he can't afford it' excuse is wearing them, OP. He and his lady pal club in together and get a room in a shared house, where their flatmates will probably bang on the door and tell them to STFU, we're trying to watch telly.

werewolfinladderedtights · 17/10/2015 21:28

Point taken, maybe they don't realise how loud they're being?

lurkingabit · 17/10/2015 21:54

Lmao at this thread.

you should take all the doors off in the house. Every door. Have an open door policy, if you will. If he complains there's no privacy, you can say there's no need for privacy, you've heard it all before.

What's the g'friend like? Is she not mortified of a Saturday morning, joining you for the end of Saturday kitchen??

MistressMia · 17/10/2015 23:49

'm shocked that people think it's disrespectful for an adult to have sex in their home

I'm shocked that so many people are so laid back about this.

Are there any limits to what an adult child can do in their own parents house ?

Could he / she have group sex ? .........If not, why not if 'their home' argument is used as justification.

Wondererer · 17/10/2015 23:53

When I lived at home me and the OH would only have sex if everyone was out or if it was about 2am extremely quietly. My parents would have killed me otherwise. It wasn't my house it was theirs so I respected them.

I'm surprised the girlfriend feels comfortable having loud and energetic sex in her boyfriends home whilst everyone is in. Strange

MotiSen · 18/10/2015 00:16

LOL! Hope he's washing his own sheets!

Plornish · 18/10/2015 04:08

A bit off topic, but this reminds me of when DH first qualified as a doctor, and he was living with a group of other junior doctors in (rather squalid) hospital accommodation. One of his colleagues had a ONS with a 17yr old, and an entire tub of 'I can't believe it's not butter!' disappeared from the communal fridge. I've never been able to look at butter-substitutes in the same way since.

daisychain01 · 18/10/2015 04:42

Do you really think it's nice discussing your son's private life on tinternet. Bit disloyal?

Notimefortossers · 18/10/2015 08:24

Oh please daisychain it's not like anyone knows who he is!

TendonQueen · 18/10/2015 08:26

The son himself hasn't shown any particular desire to keep it private.

daisychain01 · 18/10/2015 08:38

So that makes it right ok then.

Marilynsbigsister · 18/10/2015 08:41

Yep.

Busyworkingmum71 · 18/10/2015 08:47

I'm with wonderer how is the gf comfortable with having loud, presumably anal, sex while her bf's parents are in the house? And on a Saturday mid morning, when you can't even kid yourself they were probably asleep and didn't hear. Middle of the night is bad enough, but Saturday morning ffs.

Def time for them to be getting some space of their own. Unless of course you and his DF carried on in this way when he was growing up - I assume not?

SouthWesterlyWinds · 18/10/2015 08:49

I bet he couldn't believe it wasn't butter

A huge jar of Nutella disappeared from the girls shelf in our shared (furnished) house when we were at Uni. We definately knew how it was being used, how art work was being produced and who the artists were.

The jar reappeared 3 days later (boik!) and even boil washing didn't remove the stainage. We were vibrant in our insistence that any chocolate stained casualties were not to be taken from our percentage of the deposits.

Busyworkingmum71 · 18/10/2015 09:21

I once found a cucumber wrapper wedged under the foot of a piece of furniture in my living room after a couple we were friends with had stayed at my flat. We had all been out clubbing, stayed up all night, then the couple had slept in the living room of my one bedroom flat. The next day my df and db popped over a visit, and while I was sat on the floor so that they could sit on the only sofa I noticed the wrapper but couldn't work out what it was. So while chatting with my df, and friends sat on the chair together I tugged the wrapper out, which was slightly slimey (boak), and looked at the label. I was momentarily confused then looked up straight into the face of the female of the couple whose face implored me, begged me not to say anything out loud. And then I knew. Double boak.

Chippednailvarnish · 18/10/2015 09:24

I love MN. I really do.

PurpleHairAndPearls · 18/10/2015 10:45

I hope they finished in time for the omelette challenge, which is after all the highlight of Saturday Kitchen!

I agree though it is a bit disrespectful, on a serious note. No one wants to hear their parents having sex do they? And no one wants to hear their DC having sex. It's just courtesy on the part of the parties having sex to keep the noise down so they don't make other people in the house uncomfortable. And I'm not some sort of old prude, there is nothing wrong with consenting adults having sex whenever and wherever they want as long as they don't make other people feel awkward. If you choose to share a house with someone it's a reciprocal arrangement. Don't use the last of anything without replacing it and don't make loud sex noises when people are trying to watch Saturday Kitchen.

I'm amazed a MN thread has got this far without that picture of James Martin though ^^

Notimefortossers · 18/10/2015 11:41

I have no idea what James Martin picture you're talking about AND I've tried googling it to no avail . . . so I'm going to need you to post it please

Nataleejah · 18/10/2015 12:45

When i was 15 i was sent to stay for holiday in Holland with a local family. When i arrived, my hosts were showing me around their house.
"This is the bathroom. Just be careful -- shower door is wobbly. Our son has been shagging his girlfriend and broke it."

MrsDiesel · 18/10/2015 13:09

I don't have bum see but get through lots of lube, blow jobs, hand jobs, tit wank and an ex dp who had been circumcised meant it was invaluable.
