Early morning sex ...

343 replies

Sodamntiredasalways · 19/02/2018 00:02

I get one lie in a week, a Sunday. The rest of the week I'm up for work or training (5:30/6am) and DH is still in bed. Apart from Saturday when we train together. DH has developed this habit of wanting sex at 6am on a Sunday morning. The sun wakes him up .... but apparently it doesn't Monday to Friday HmmAIBU to want to scream at him to bugger off and let me sleep or should I appreciate the affection? He will persist every 15 minutes until I finally wake up and begrudgingly agree. So I can't pretend to be asleep. (This is lighthearted, I love him and we have a great physical relationship - I just was one lie in a week) thoughts ?

Gamerchick, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that letting a partner "get on with it" equates to allowing him to penetrate her whilst pretending to be asleep. It could also mean that she lets him get on with masturbation

Really?! Hmm maybe that poster will come back and elaborate then. However going on later posts it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Those without a penis can be guilty of “assault by penetration” or sexual assault.

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 09:46

This thread is pretty gross.

Op I can't quite work this out, you talks about him pestering you every 15 minutes, you talk about wanting to scream at him to leave you alone, you talk about begrudgingly agreeing.

All of that sounds like coercion to me, yet somehow I don't know if you're joking.

Do you actually want to have sex with him on Sunday mornings? If you do and this is a game of yours, then great, but I'm not sure why you started the thread. If you truly, genuinely don't want sex on Sunday mornings, and feel you have to, then it's not ok.

As for the person whose husband rapes her while she's asleep, I have no words.

I realise every relationship is different. Personally I love it when dh wakes me up for sex, I wish he'd do it more, sleepy sex is great.

If it's just a game of hard to get between two consenting adults then fine, but anyone bring pressured into sex isn't ok at all.

Again we have a description of non-consensual sex/ rape....I wonder what percentage of MNers husbands would fall into this category if there was a poll??? Probably would be quite high I imagine as most wouldn't see it as coercion or rape if there loving hubby did this on the regular

SersioulycanitgetWORSE · 19/02/2018 09:55

I'd love to know how some of you do sex. It s sounds to me something like...

Darling I'm just filling in our sex diary, is Tuesday night still OK? 10pm, great if you can just sign the consent form now and remember to bring it to bed on Tuesday. I will not lay a finger on you unless it's signed again 10.01pm Tuesday because you may have changed your mind and vice versa.

Just what's app me a copy please on Tuesday for my file and fingers crossed darling!

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 09:55

Enthusiastic consent, well it's complicated. Sometimes I tell dh to get lost, usually while giggling, but he knows me very well, he knows when no means no, or when it's role play. The tone of voice, the body language, the words used and so on.

If I genuinely didn't want to have sex, he wouldn't even ask again.

That's what I can't quite weigh up here, op either wants to have sex, in which case there's no point to this thread, other than to brag about her sex life?

Or she doesn't want to have sex, in which case it's getting into dangerous territory.

This thread is getting into dangerous territory that rape isn't something that happens between husband and wife, or only counts if the man holds her down while she kicks and screams.

Allthewaves · 19/02/2018 09:57

"NO F*CK OFF" screamed loudly would be my response. My husband wouldn't dare wake me, I'm so not good on a morning.

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 09:58

Aeeiouslycantgetworse it's nothing to do with consent forms and appointments.

I'd be very worried if two people in an adult relationship couldn't tell when the other was enthusiastic about having sex.

wakemeupbefore · 19/02/2018 09:58

I wonder what precentage of MNs would fall firmly on the left of the 100 on the IQ bell curve. In recent years the ones propping up the 100 has grown exponentially. Hmm
Sad and scary.

Well, aren’t you just the charmer.

ThisLittleKitty · 19/02/2018 10:04

My ex when we were together use to always try to have sex with me when I was asleep. I don't think it's rape at all, I heard plenty of men/women waking up there partners with sex.

wakemeupbefore · 19/02/2018 10:05

Read any thread on MN and count the pseudo-intellectual sparks amongst the general knuckle dragging hysterics.
It's statistics.

SofieMonde · 19/02/2018 10:06

Out of 100 times a husband and wife have sex, how many do you think the wife genuinely wants to have sex or while having sex is thinking "i need to do something else/ let's get this over with just to please the man/ nope don't really want to be doing this"
Am sure it happens A LOT....are these times RAPE?

Layla8 · 19/02/2018 10:12

Beyond ridiculous to all this rape. The couple have a loving relationship, it was stated that it was a lighthearted post, this mismatch of timings has been going on forever. Lighten up people. I love early morning sex, but only if we’ve cleaned our teeth.

TheStoic · 19/02/2018 10:14

The irony here is spectacular Grin.

FranticallyPeaceful · 19/02/2018 10:14

Being pressured into sex is still very rapey

SersioulycanitgetWORSE · 19/02/2018 10:15

It very much sounds like consent forms to me because sex is usually imitated by one person wife or husband by the laying on of hands.

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 10:15

Sofiemonde that really shocks me. I have never once had sex with dh thinking that I don't want to be there, or want to get it over with. I've never faked an orgasm. I've never pretended.

Dh wouldn't want to have sex with me if I wasn't into it either.

TheStoic · 19/02/2018 10:17

I literally never have sex when I don’t really want to. I thought that was normal.

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 10:19

Seeiouslycantgetworse you cannot see the difference between initiated and pestered into?

Yesterday dh initiates making a bacon sandwich. He said he fancied one, asked if I'd like one too, I agreed and he started cooking.

At no point did he repeatedly pester me into eating a bacon sandwich until I eventually gave in, despite not being hungry and not enjoying he sandwich.

It doesn't mean we need a consent form for bacon sandwiches.

DownstairsMixUp · 19/02/2018 10:20

I'd just go and sleep on the sofa

gamerchick · 19/02/2018 10:21

My ex when we were together use to always try to have sex with me when I was asleep. I don't think it's rape at all, I heard plenty of men/women waking up there partners with sex.

Christ! Are you having us on? You can’t seriously think this is ok just because seemingly everyone else is doing it. It’s not ok! Hmm

Tallzarabelle · 19/02/2018 10:22

It's not too dissimilar with sex, if dh initiates sex by touching me, or kissing me, or whatever else. Well if I respond positively then this means yes please.

If I say no, or push him away, or roll away in bed, or completely ignore him, this isn't a green light to keep on and on until I give in.

Booie09 · 19/02/2018 10:23

It must be something about Sundays...because my DH is always bloody horny!! He pesters....sometimes I give in if i am in the mood other times i tell him to do one!!

wakemeupbefore · 19/02/2018 10:23

Stoic, did you hear the call?
