to think having sex on the sofa is gross?

Our two year old sleeps in our bed. This is soon to change as I'm pregnant but in the meantime, every night without fail DP is wink wink nudge nudging me about coming down to shag on the sofa after I put her to bed. AIBU to think it's a bit grim? It's a black fabric sofa. Our DC sit and eat on it.

So as not to be accused of drip feeding, I don't mean we shouldn't have sex until she moves to her own bed. We often do during the day when she naps in her pushchair while her siblings are at school or in the morning at weekends if she's off downstairs with her siblings. But on the sofa just feels wrong and unhygienic.

Some of the best sex I've ever had was on the sofa Grin

Like a PP said you could always lay down a towel,but if it's not your thing then just tell your DH that it doesn't do it for you.

Don't F'in Shag!

My Ex was like this. the minute I put DC's to bed and came downstairs he was off the computer where he's been since coming home and waving his little willy around. Foreplay consisted of a meaty paw thrust at my fanjo and that was it. Lucky OW. Keep some antibacterial spray by the sofa and pointedly spray near any drips. Ewww.

WankingMonkey · 15/04/2017 23:06

Surely after you have finished you grab his top, hold it between your legs and shuffle elegantly off to the bathroom? No just me then?

Not just you. I do the t-shirt waddle too whenever there isn't a towel to hand in the bedroom.

I am always prepared for sofa sex though, as posted above Grin

i have a seven yr old with disabillities who has always slept with me plus i snore as does dh and we keep each other awake if we didnt shag on the settee we would never shag.

kel1493 · 15/04/2017 23:09

We do it on the sofa. There isn't a room in our house we haven't done something in tbh
(I won't mention exactly what we were doing in my dads kitchen when we agreed to ttc. And my dad was just upstairs)

BoldKitties · 15/04/2017 23:10

I'm just delighted that someone has used the word antimacassar. It's one of my favourite words.

Re sex on the sofa, OP, if you don't want to, then don't. If your DP is pestering you for sex regularly, then that's a whole different problem, and definitely not okay. Him 'waiting to pounce' sounds grim.

Though, as non-bed sex locations go, I definitely favour the stairs.

MrsBobDylan · 15/04/2017 23:11

Like a pp, I, too, expected wide condemnation of sofa shaggers. I have never felt more accepted by my fellow mumnetters. It's like coming home.Grin

Op, leather is your solution here. Or ditch the sex pest. Latter probably your cheaper option.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/04/2017 23:14

FRUITCOCKTAIL6, "the fuck bed" 😂😂😂
OP, try the staircase for a change !

How often are you having sex and where if not on the sofa?

Also how come neither of you are working when the kids are at school or when the toddler is napping - unless you're both SAHPs?

Don't worry about the sofa. Shag away

UnicornButtplug · 15/04/2017 23:16

WankingMonkey phew.... thought I was going to be ousted to netmums for a second there.

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 15/04/2017 23:17

Erm, I'm currently sat in the sofa hoping that dh isn't too tired when he gets in from work at midnight. Blush
Personally I prefer bent over the sofa. Kneel on a cushion if needed.

MsJolly · 15/04/2017 23:18

Would love to have the chance TBH but unless the kids were all out of the house we would get caught! Right passion killer!

user1840873076 · 15/04/2017 23:22

I think over a desk is a good one

JorahsMissus · 15/04/2017 23:24

Sofa sex is fine, it's your husband who is the problem.

Hoptastic53 · 15/04/2017 23:25

He sometimes works from home/comes home for lunch/works nights so day time opportunities are plentiful.

GrinGrinGrin@ the t shirt waddle.

Except it's an anything I grab to hand waddle to the loo!

MrsTerryPratchett · 15/04/2017 23:26

I wouldn't be shagging someone who waited panting every night after my chores. Thankfully DH does the chores.

tabbymog · 15/04/2017 23:32

Breakfast

What's wrong with marmalade? Makes a change from licking cream from your foof!

Hope you don't live in a block of flats!! Grin

PuffinNose · 15/04/2017 23:38

But you can watch Neighbours at the same time.

IknowIAM1985 · 15/04/2017 23:38

Wish my DH did that!

PuffinNose · 15/04/2017 23:39

Or an ad. Whichever.
But please close the curtains. Or not. Whichever.
