To wonder how you manage to have sex on a family holiday?

[NorthernGravy]

I know this sounds a bit weird, but I am looking at booking a holiday, which will involve 7yo DS sleeping on the sofa bed in our room. When we've gone away previously we've done Eurocamp, so he's been in his own room in a chalet.

I was looking at holidays and suddenly thought "oh crap, where do we have sex?". I couldn't have sex while he was sleeping in the room, doing it in the bathroom while he is asleep sounds uncomfortable.

I looked at apartments and then realised that I would end up doing all the cooking and it wouldn't be a holiday for me. I am done with self catering.

Am I being weird thinking about it?

1. Wait till your DS is deep asleep
2. Book him into holiday club for a session
3. Utilise the bathroom, terrace, balcony etc
4. Wait till you get home

We always went self catering and my parents never cooked. We had cereal, milk, bread, butter, ham and tea and coffee in the room and ate out. We would generally have breakfast in the room and all other meals out. It meant we could go to different restaurants and not have to eat at certain times.

I’m amazed posters saying sex can wait till you get home!

You can't do it on the balcony!

Of course OP will want sex on holiday, I would! Look for a hotel with a separate room, they're not all really expensive, plus it's worth a bit of extra expense

Why?

I can tell this thread is gonna be a good'un

Cant you just wait a week?

That's what kids club is for!

it's only a week. Do it before you go.

Because I guess it’s more that you are not as tired, stressed etc plus the sun, nice food and a few sangrias gets the old juices flowing I mean it’s just an assumption on my part of course

I could (maybe) but definitely wouldn’t want to wait until we got home. That would be very difficult!

Don't forget rubbing sun cream into each other's body 😂

Easy, we just don’t have sex whilst we are on holiday with our children. Firstly because we aren’t animals and can certainly cope for a week without it, and secondly if we are in much closer proximity to our kids than we are whilst at home then we just wouldn’t feel comfortable. Plus we have a teen and we aren’t subjecting her to that when we can just wait until we are home.

DH and I can't even share a room on holiday let alone have sex!

13yo has ASD and can't cope with the new environment so I share with 6yo and DU shares with him. It's really not that big a deal 🤔

We always SC for that reason. "Cooking" (for both of us) involves salad and grilled or cold meat. Or pasta.
DH and I had bathroom sex as teenagers. It's not exciting, just uncomfortable.

What Crisscross82 said.

But it's a holiday, you haven't got work or household issues occupying you so you relax and re-engage of course sex is a big part of that. Shower sex or just waiting until midnight or whenever you know your child won't stir. To be honest the prospect of a holiday without sex with my husband would be a disappointing holiday for me.

Animals

CC82. I must be an animal then as I love sex everyday on holiday. May even throw in some Centre Parks fun as well.
Do you ever unclench?

Well I guess if you knew that it would be incredibly difficult to go without for a few days and you're not comfortable enough to have sex anywhere other than your bed you would bloody make sure you booked separate rooms!

You can't do it on the balcony!
Experience tells me otherwise barbie

We never do itnon holiday and we don’t have kids, too hot, too drink, too hungover, too lazy.....nah we never bother really.

Why does wanting sex on holiday with her husband make her an animal?

Actually human beings ARE animals, so......

I don’t understand why getting a villa/apartment means anyone has to cook. You can go to restaurants the same as if you stayed in a hotel, surely?
As a single parent the sex issue wasn’t something I had to think about, but I certainly didn’t cook an awful lot!
