He didn't want phone sex

Corkscrewbetty · 09/05/2018 14:38

So... my partner and I live apart. He comes to see me most weekends. I live with an eldery parent and so it's hard to find a good time to enjoy ourselves sexually. I just don't feel comfortable. We've even resorted to doing it in bushes when we take the dog out for a walk. We used to have quite an active sex life before my father moved in with me. We would "sext" and all the rest of it. Anyway, my dear old father is with a friend today. I'm self-employed and so is my boyfriend. I texted him asking him if he fancied a bit of phone sex... and he's too tired and not in the mood. Now... I know this happens... but seeing as we so rarely get the chance to do anything sexual... I feel a bit put out. And now I'm thinking about it, I don't think he has been as interested in that side of things recently. I'm wondering whether it's a bit of a red flag or if I'm just getting all worried about nothing.

God this made me feel sick. Sex in the bushes? Like in an actual bush? how do you do this?

Also - this is a guy you were with before you had the baby..you had a baby..now you're back with him but the baby isn't his?

I think somebody better get Graham on..

DialMforMordor - I've taken a bit of a fancy to the village gardener. I bet he knows all the best bushes... and the dog could stay in his van. And Phaedra - If he brings olives and bread too... well, I'll be one satisfied (albeit disgraceful) 39-year-old mother. In fact, I'd be so happy... I'd leave it a good six months before I started pestering him for phone sex.

Who's Graham? I'm not doing him as well. Don't you think I've got enough on my plate?

Betty you mean you don’t know who Graham is?!

Theshittyendofthestick · 09/05/2018 19:52

corkscrew I think you sound fabulous! You have a career, you took charge of your own fertility and have a lovely baby and you are able to have a laugh about your situation. Aim high with your relationships - I think you deserve it (but there's nothing wrong with a fumble in the bushes in the meantime Grin)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 09/05/2018 19:57

Wasn't Graham the voice over guy on Blind Date? "Here's our Graham with a quick re cap" Confused

Whatsforu · 09/05/2018 19:57

Some real nasty pathetic answers on here, op is trying her best to have a sex life of sorts. Op I feel for you sounds like a lot on your plate. I wouldn't worry about his reaction it may not be his thing or just not up for it. Hope you get things sorted a weekend away sounds like a plan.

Corkscrewbetty · 09/05/2018 20:03

Yes, I've just realised it's the therapist from Jeremy Kyle. A reference to me being a bit "chavvy", I suppose? That's nice. Was a bit slow on the uptake there. Yep... the baby isn't his. The shame of it! Wanting a baby for a decade and then deciding to go it alone. And then STILL wanting sex afterwards (the turkey baster wasn't exactly satisfying, you know?). It is sickening. I think I do need that Graham. He'd put me back on the straight and narrow.

MissReginaPhilange · 09/05/2018 20:24

@corkscrewbetty your hilarious. Love your style. I actually my have partaken in the rural no pants dance myself occasionally Grin although oretty sure my dog would try and lick my arse if I brought him with me

Moneyissue2 · 09/05/2018 20:27

Chinesechicken clearky hadn’t read any of your updates before posting their rude/nasty/ pathetically judgementmental post. Ignore, you sound great

NotTheMrMenAgain · 09/05/2018 20:43

I'm 42 and I've never had phone sex .....am I missing out?! Don't think I could have sex in bushes with the dog there - she'd be all Hmm and sniffing and picking stuff. Never mind the bugs and the prickly leaves.......

NotTheMrMenAgain · 09/05/2018 20:44

Locking stuff,not picking stuff. She can't really pick stuff, no opposable thumbs.

SmileEachDay · 09/05/2018 20:44

Teenagers have sex in bushes, not 39 year old mothers

Why?

Is that because 39 year old mothers are not allowed to like sex? Aren’t allowed out in forests? Which bit is ok for teens but not for 39 year old mothers?

NotTheMrMenAgain · 09/05/2018 20:45

Omg , licking, licking - blame fat thumWinebs and wine

NotTheMrMenAgain · 09/05/2018 20:45

I give uo

NotTheMrMenAgain · 09/05/2018 20:46

Up

TheSassyAssassin · 09/05/2018 20:48

Wouldn't head to the forest tonight @NotTheMrMenAgain to try it out...am thinking fat thumbs, wine and dogs that will lick you whilst picking locks may be a bit of a tricky combo for a first outing! Grin

What does the dog do whilst you're 'in the bushes' Confused

Corkscrewbetty · 09/05/2018 21:10

NotTheMrMenAgain! Ha ha! lifechangesforever - I don't think too much about the dog while we're at it. He watches me on the toilet, in the shower. I'm never without the little twonk. He's a weird dog. I think he just has a bit of a mooch around. I don't think he needs Graham as much as I do. He's doing alright.

I can’t believe you can have sex with the dog right there... my cat has to be shit downstairs (not just out of the bedroom) before DP and I DTD (#prudes)

Furano · 09/05/2018 21:13

Shut. SHUT. not shit.

TheSassyAssassin · 09/05/2018 21:15
Corkscrewbetty · 09/05/2018 21:17

It's not just the dog. I have 8 cats too. If I had sex in my bedroom, I'm sure a couple of them would be up for having a good gawp. But... I don't. I'm a bushbaby... as we all know. So... let's be thankful for small mercies. ;-)

I love the fact that you’re not allowed to have sex outside (in a remote location) if you’re a MOTHER and 39!!

I hope you’re asking baby Jesus for forgiveness op
