about 'morning glory'

Home77 · 26/02/2019 09:21

Do other have this where OH is quite 'fruity' first thing in the morning and it is like the worst time? I struggle with this, need to get up with the DCs and just fancy a cuppa really not a romp! But I guess it is just nature that they feel like it first thing in the mornings. Is it a men are from mars women from venus thing, I usually feel more sexual in the evenings and in the mood, not first thing in the morning. Or AIBU?

Mornign sex is my fav too. Gets the day off to a good start. :)

More morning people here!!! Me and DH have a running joke that at night i will set the "penis alarm"

MrsKoala · 26/02/2019 10:11

DH isn't a morning person. He wakes starving usually and also needs to get up and wee and potter about a bit. By then it's not the morning anymore. Doesn't help we co sleep so since the kids any morning opportunity has gone too. He's also not an evening person (but then neither am I). So it's never for us.

Besides, sex makes men especially sleep heavily and makes you drowsy I'm never drowsy after. I feel really lively and like to spring out of bed immediately and start cleaning the house! Grin

Hate morning sex. I could've been asleep. Not that I dislike sex but I find it hard to sleep so if I were asleep and woken up for sex I'd not be happy at all.
My fave is actually early afternoon.... but with two young children that's s rarity.

Oh I love this!! Gave me a good chuckle Grin

Notso · 26/02/2019 10:14

I don't mind morning sex but I can't just wake up and do it anymore, after four kids I need a bit of time to wake up and a wee first!

He can have a wank in his morning shower if you don’t want sex first thing.

I have anxiety most days when I wake up and I’m more likely to want a shit than a shag Blush

PengAly · 26/02/2019 10:17

Oh and we also just recently got a dog who sleeps on the floor in our bedroom which would make morning sex awkward...and our dog really doesn't like it when we have sex! We have to keep him downstairs with a gate. He is generally a very quiet dog, hardly ever barks but when we go upstairs on our own to have sex he stands at bottom of the gate whining/barking at us! Been very off putting recently Confused

MrsKoala · 26/02/2019 10:21

Morning sex isn't the same as being woken for sex is it? I like it if we both just wake up and then it happens (pre dc) but i'd be angry if I was woken up purposely for sex. If you have kids up at 6am it's doubtful you would wake up naturally together before then and have time for a dozy lazy morning shag.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 26/02/2019 10:23

You seem to have conflated your preferences with what "women" want - it's absolutely fine for you to take a while to get going and prefer evening sex.

It won't be M/F. There's already a lot of people here saying they like morning sex, I do too, and evening sex. It doesn't usually make me drowsy and I'm ready in the drop of a hat with current DP.

We're all different, find what works for you 🙂

Jinglejanglefish · 26/02/2019 10:25

Before DC I loved morning sex, however not really an option at the moment!

HennaLights · 26/02/2019 10:27

All these people with a sex life! It's been nearly 2 years for me. I'm well jel!

Yes, morning glory is a thing. Compromise is key.

Yes can see how having a dog watching astonished or even small children running in might kind of spoil the moment.

I hate morning sex. I haven't showered, brushed my teeth, I'm bleary eyed and uncoordinated. It just makes me feels like they just want to shag anything that moves,and not me.

NCforthis2019 · 26/02/2019 10:30

I actually came on here thinking this was about the vegetable morning glory - which I incidentally love.

Alsohuman · 26/02/2019 10:31

The first cup of tea brought to me in bed counts as foreplay in this house. Mornings are when we have sex, neither of us can stay awake long enough at night.

whasoaw1 · 26/02/2019 10:31

Men get erections all through the night too. Something to do with the cardiovascular system I think.

VelvetPineapple · 26/02/2019 10:31

When I clicked the link I thought this was going to be a gardening thread...

RosieEffect · 26/02/2019 10:31

I like to get up early. Dh likes to lie in. I will usually go downstairs, have a coffee and then sneak back into bed when I'm ready to 'wake' him up. Wink

PengAly · 26/02/2019 10:32

Oh we make sure he cant watch- that'd be so off putting! Once we blocked him out of the room and he snuck in somehow and got "interested" so we had to stop Blush I think he can now hear us from downstairs and seems to freak out for some reason...

doris9034 · 26/02/2019 10:34

@henna I was just thinking the same - couldn't even tell you the last time me and dp had any kind of sex!

Jsmith99 · 26/02/2019 10:35

I am not a morning person in any way, so the idea of having sex at my lowest, grumpiest, leave-me-alone-ist time of day is a complete non-starter.

ohtheholidays · 26/02/2019 10:36

I'm up for having sex with my DH first thing in the morning and late at night.

I think everyone is different and especially so when it comes to a persons sex life.

As long as he's not trying to force you or being an arsehole over the fact that your not up for it I don't think there's a problem.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 26/02/2019 10:38

I fucking HATE morning sex.

I think for me as much as anything I know the DC can be early risers and don;t want them hearing / coming in. Maybe it would help if they didn't have the room next door. Whereas in the evening can be sure if they have gone to sleep they won't...the thought of scarring them with a memory of parents frolicking away now they are older, is too awful to think about!
