I will preface this by saying I love DH very very much and this isn’t some awful deal breaker.

BUT every weekend morning DH wakes me up by grinding his morning glory against my thigh. This morning he’d actually got up really early without waking me but he came back to bed at 8.30 and STILL woke me up with the rhythmic grinding.

And then once I was awake he started talking at me about amps and effects processors (we have an agreement that I didn’t have to engage in these ‘conversations’ beyond saying ‘uh huh’ every once in a while). All through this conversation he was dry humping me.

I told him to stop and he said that a) he hadn’t even realised he was doing it and b) he always thought I liked it.

Basically it’s something I tolerate because he’s otherwise marvellous but the combination of nerd monologue AND slow Jack Russelling was just too much this morning.

But thinking about it, every man I’ve ever woken up with (a not insignificant number) has done this. Whhhhyyyyyyy? What makes them think being randomly poked is in anyway sexy or romantic?

Does ANYONE like it?

Mine does it. I find if I’m not in the mood then breaking wind soon sends him packing Grin we dry hump when one of us is bending over too, slap each other bums, pull each other’s trousers down etc. It’s all fun and no one feels violated because we love each other and BOTH find it funny.

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 13:31

It’s funny just how polarising this is.

I suppose it really does depend on context and the general state of your relationship. ExH was also a grinder but he was a shit generally so that coloured my perception of it (he used to have sex with me while I was asleep, hence the ex). DH is lovely and respectful and has never given me any reason to distrust his motives. So for us it’s a fun (if slightly irritating) way to be affectionate.

So you don't think that no woman enjoys it and wonder why men think we do OP?

Your posts are bizarre. and worrying

FirtyFree33 · 18/03/2018 13:38

my dp does that in the morning. it used to be hot but after having kids sleep is precious. told him i need my sleep .. massive sulk and now he gets up goes to the living room and watches porn. hes only hard in the morning at 4 or 5am.
no sex life for over 6 months.

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 13:39

I don’t enjoy it in the way he thinks I do. But I don’t HATE it and I don’t think it makes him disrespectful or that he doesn’t care about my wishes.

He thinks it should send me wild with desire though. Which is odd. Because why would it?

OP posts:
Costacoffeeplease · 18/03/2018 13:45

Why would it indeedConfused

Never had a man do this, and he’d only do it once, yuk

SilverySurfer · 18/03/2018 13:45

It's obvious you have not trained your DH properly. The obvious response to dry humping is 'Down boy!' said in a sharp voice and followed with a gentle tap on his nose with a rolled up newspaper. Grin

Seriously, this would turn me off completely (not to mention the weird technical chat) resulting in zero chance of sex.

Lemonyknickers · 18/03/2018 13:46

Yay, a name for it AND I'm not alone having to put up with it. DH does both but knows it's silly. I just tell him he's wierd and to f off. He is the best in bed I've had and is also very respectful if I say no and does lots of 'wife work' (sorry hate that phrase ) so I don't think you can JR'ers must have bad attitudes to women. Like everything it's individuals. I don't find it sexy or abusive, it's just meh.

inashizzle · 18/03/2018 13:47

Half the fun is getting it on around the children???!!! Fake poster, I sincerely hope or wtaf

tolerable · 18/03/2018 13:52

smurfy2015 · 18/03/2018 14:05

No jack russelling here lol but plenty of talk of circuits and usb slots, data transfers etc

I’ve got visions of him going at the ATM machine! @Hotdoggity Thats the best comment ive read so far today

TatianaLarina · 18/03/2018 14:05

This thread is hilarious.

I have no advice, except to invest in some Barbara Woodhouse nightwear - thick and tweedy. Sit!

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 14:09

A cheeky snog and grind does not equal ‘getting in on in front of the children’ ffs, and they are 14 and 15 so quite possibly doing their own snogging and grinding.

When my male dog tried to hump my female dog, she would show her displeasure by turning round and humping his head.

It seemed to work, so maybe worth a try.

inashizzle · 18/03/2018 14:13

So what are you grinding for then and why did you say it? Sad.

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 14:16

Inashizzle are you Donald Trump?

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 14:16

Lakie, I have the feeling he’d really enjoy that...

Snogging in front of kids. Bad.

Wow I should run for president.

AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 14:18

See now I’m wondering again if couples don’t kiss in front of their kids.

To be clear I’m talking about a small snog, not bending me over the kitchen units.

OP posts:
AnachronisticCorpse · 18/03/2018 14:19

We also sometimes have sex on a weeknight, and often at lunchtime if he’s WFH. We are clearly doing parenting all wrong. I’ll call social services straight away and have them removed.

I think inashizzle probably only accepts bows and curtsys and wears a full body condom when there’s a man around.

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 18/03/2018 14:21

Jack Russelling is when you walk past and he grabs you and does a fast dry hump. Usually happens in the kitchen, weirdly.

This plus the “snog and grind” in front of the teenagers sounds a bit horrible tbh... I bet they do fucking hate that Envy (not envy). I never thought of myself as prudish, but maybe I am!
