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?

Apartments with bedrooms and a hot tub filthy sex pond on the balcony

So gross that people can't imagine doing without a shag for a few days, like oversexed baboons!

I think I'd rather just go without than trying to shag on the balcony, whilst worrying that a) my kid might wake up and b) there is someone next door trying to have a nice chilled evening on their balcony

IME balcony sex usually occurs in the early hours ie 4am. Not when Vera next door is enjoying a gin fizz with her Catherine Cookson!

We've had a room next to balcony shaggers. Please, please don't do it.

Bloody hell, I think my sex drive is normal but reading this makes to feel like a sex addict!

My and DP have sex every other day as a minimum, on holiday we always share a room with my DD. On the balcony or in the shower, every night on holiday (the sun seems to do something to me ).

Seriously OP all joking aside sort out proper acommodation to suit your family needs...Not worth being uncomfortable anywhere,everyone needs space and going away is expensive there would be no way my dd aged 7 would be on what amounts to a put up bed,she would have her own room interconnecting or if that wasnt available then an apartment or holiday let of somekind it would have to be...and no cooking at all its your break too and you deserve to be spoilt!

Maybe you could come to a babysitting arrangement with another couple in the same predicament.

I can just see the fail headline now “our children were sold off to the circus while we had some afternoon delight at centreparc”

OP, this shouldn’t need said but just incase, don’t ask strangers you meet on holiday to babysit so you can shag.

Wait till your DS is deep asleep

Please don't do this. I'm another one who was put through this as a child, and my parents don't know as they think I was asleep.

We either don’t bother or DTD in the bathroom. Nothing grim about that at all. Sex doesn’t always have to be in a bed.

So gross that people can't imagine doing without a shag for a few days, like oversexed baboons!

Omg this made me laugh so much!

To the people suggesting quite shags under the covers and balcony sex etc. Please don't have sex within eyeshot/ earshot of your children even if you think they're asleep. If they're not and just lying very still with their eyes clamped shut you're not likely to know about it because it's not like they can tell you they saw and heard you shag last night.

It's awful being that child it really is. You may think you're getting away with it but there's no way of knowing if they're awake or not as it would be far to excruciating for them to let you know they're awake and know what you're doing.

Now thinking back to several family holidays where we all shared a room, and wondering if my parents were the "wait til we get home", or the "do it in the shower type"

it was the longest slow motion play back of Aerosmith in my life, I was just praying the batteries would hold out the length of time they were shagging

My house has quite thin walls and I can often hear the neighbours. Mercifully, they never seem to last for more than one or two album tracks. I kind of feel sorry for them, but glad at the same time.

I was joking about telling your husband he won't get sex unless he does half the cooking. You shouldn't have to tell him. And I would find a man seriously unsexy if he didn't just do his share without being told.

I am forever grateful that I was never once aware of my parents shagging. I’m happy to believe they never did

Woman wants to have sex on holiday shock! Quick, ring the fuzz. The fecking animal .

OP, I bet you didn't realise you were such a deviant, did you?

The bathroom will be fine. Just make sure that if anyone's on their back, it isn't you.

Bloody brilliant! I have teenagers, and have to say sneaky and imaginative rule the roost... I’m hoping they meet other teenagers round the pool so we can sneak off!

Holiday sex is the best kind of sex!! You're chilled out, the sun is shining and there is just something about being away from the normal drudgery of life that makes you more up for it! We have four DC and yet will make sex a daily priority on holiday. OP you need to go SC!!

Do you ever unclench?

Best reply I've read in a long time!!

Sooo... You're putting Sex over your child? Okay. nice to know your priorities are sorted

😂😂 Absolute classic bullshit mn response!

Children's clubs!

We are in our sixties and married 44 years and still at it at least three times a week.

How are you never supposed to have sex within earshot of your children? Do you go into the West Wing at home?

Go somewhere with a kids club

God lot of prudes on here as usual. MN is full of projectors.
