To ask about your sex time

Ok so very personal. I’m not asking for full glorified details just timing.

We have 2 DC teens and lately have found we don’t have time for us sex wise.
Work long hours. Kids don’t go bed til maybe midnight/1am on holidays/weekends. During week I work nights, have weekends off. DH works days and some nights. Like passing ships.
DS won’t go out. DD grounded.
Just wondering when people fit this stuff in now? Morning is a no go as I’m usually home after DH left for work.

Just wondering if people make like a date and plan it. On X day at X time. Put kids bed earlier maybe? But then what’s too early for near 14&15?

I type this as DH has just told DC to go to bed now (wasn’t taken very well at all) so we can have some time. I can still hear them, so I’m not hopeful as DH has work at 5.30.
I’m yabbering in now I know but I miss that intimate time.

You don't need to be loud to have sex. Just hush up

No you dont need to, but if it's done right then you just can't help it.

Other people have sex differently to you shocker!

I am 5th of 7 (born 1844 - 1960)

You win the thread with parents having a 116 year sex life. The child benefit must have helped at least

But to the point In question, teenagers go to bed late, and wake late. Have sex in the morning before they wake up

go for a run out in the car, park somewhere and do it there? acting like teenagers yourself with a chance of getting caught may bring things to life again bit?

My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 10.

It is bloody difficult. Thin walls, squeaky bed etc. I can not utter a sound but you could still hear us through the paper thin walls.

My teens and adult son do not go to bed until later than we do. There is always a child around.

In the morning they might be asleep but then the younger ones are up.

Sometimes it takes planning to make it work.

I just wanted to say I'm glad you're thinking of your children. I used to hear my parents have sex and it was awful and made me so uncomfortable about sex in general. I know they're entitled to do it etc and maybe they didn't know I could hear but I ended up dreading most bed times. I have never had sex with my parents in the house even as a teenager and used to be quite hurt they didn't even try to make sure we couldn't hear.

(It didn't teach me anything about a loving relationship either as they'd shout at each other all day every day)

I just let my 3 year old watch his iPad in his room and we have sex. I tell him I'm getting dressed and talking about work to dad and I need him to leave us. He doesn't come in. We do get called by him regularly and have to stop what we are doing and help
Or we have sex at night
The baby goes in his cot next door

I just shut my door easy job done

You should have sex when they are awake and be quiet it is possible

I'm guessing if you make a noise once, at their ages they'll soon want to go out of the house, because as much as they're your innocent babies, they'll know what you're doing, and they won't want to hear it... 😂🤣😂
