Asked not to have sex.

We're going to stay with friends for the night on Saturday. I've only met the my friends partner a couple of times, but she asked through her husband that my partner and I not have sex while staying at their house.

Isn't this weird?
Would you ask this of guests?

The original request was a bit weird, the follow-up response is really weird! Avoid!

Absolutely! I really want him to explain what he means about her being jealous? Of what??? She fancies your B/f? She thinks you fancy hers? She fancies you??? or that she's not getting any?

Reg we find it hard to control our passion...we put down our cases, then Perverted gives me a little lick on the ear. Before you know it we're flying everywhere limbs akimbo and roll over the landing and down the stairs.

Then light a cigarette at the bottom.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 28/02/2020 16:35

I can honestly say I've never thought about whether any of my house guests have had sex or not. I actually couldn't care less. As long as I don't have to hear it!

When we’d just got our pup, had a preplanned night out, boyfriend was on nights. Sister stayed at ours with her boyfriend till I got home. Told them no shagging in my house 🤷🏼‍♀️ Don’t want nor need to be dealing with other people’s bodily fluids 🤢

Then light a cigarette at the bottom.

Ah, ah, I've worked it out. She's trying to suggest as discreetly as possible that she doesn't want anyone smoking in the house, as her mum told her it's rude to tell guests they aren't allowed to smoke. Obviously, though, if you don't have sex you won't need to light up. Problem solved.

HairyDogsOfThigh · 28/02/2020 16:47

I'd go and then fidget and fidget and fidget and when she eventually asked what's wrong, I'd have to explain that the love eggs I'd inserted as a substitute for the sex that had been banned were chaffing a bit. Or just not go.

Vulpine · 28/02/2020 16:49

Bubblemonkey -You know people can have sex without leaving any bodily fluids in evidence Hmm

MrsNoah2020 · 28/02/2020 16:53

I think people are getting more and more Victorian about sex, biology and normal human functions these days

Not sure about 'people'. MN, certainly, because it has always had a strong Hyacinth Bucket brigade. Not tolerating shagging in your spare room is just a natural progression from having an attack of the vapours if a workman wants to use your loo.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/02/2020 18:42

To shag or not to shag, that is the question.

The answer is to shag the hostess's dh instead of your partner and then she'll wish she never said anything!

LovelyCocksReg · 28/02/2020 22:00

DT you are a diabolical genius.

limpbizkit · 29/02/2020 09:39

I disagree about us becoming victorian about having sex. I think it's its the polar opposite - we're all sex obsessed. Yes it's natural but it isn't an absolute daily necessity Hmm I think your mates are rude and a bit crass for requesting you dont have sex. It's just a weird request. But surely it won't kill any couple to not clash uglies for one night. I'd be only too glad to avoid it for a night Grin

limpbizkit · 29/02/2020 09:44

To be honest... I feel a bit ewww about stripping my spare bed thinking of sweaty crevices and dried up drips of bodily fluids and warm stray public hairs rubbed into the sheets. Bit of B. O and musty smells to boot. Shock

thepeopleversuswork · 29/02/2020 12:11

limpbizkit but it’s not about people demanding a right to sex all the time. No one is saying the OP needs to have sex while she’s there. They are saying it’s weird and controlling to demand that they not have sex as a house rule.

Vulpine · 29/02/2020 12:14

Im not sure anyone has a right to tell me what to do with my genitals either!

limpbizkit · 29/02/2020 13:46

I agree it is a strange request.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 29/02/2020 20:34

Did OP ever say whether or not they were still going to visit?

macaroniandpizza · 01/03/2020 19:14

She sounds like she has issues surrounding sex 🙈

popsydoodle4444 · 01/03/2020 19:23

This smacks of problems in their own relationship tbh.As awful as it sounds maybe she said that to try to put you off staying there.

I'm

joystir59 · 01/03/2020 19:25

I would agree and then have hot silent sex

turnandfacethenamechange · 01/03/2020 19:28

A single person doesn't want to see hear or smell a loved up couple having a shag

This thread is making me howl. How smelly is your sex ffs 😂

turnandfacethenamechange · 01/03/2020 19:32

As an aside, I had sex with someone for the first time in the room next to my friends in his houseshare at uni. It was with a friend of his who I'd liked for ages and he'd been trying to set me up with. The walls were paper thin and the beds were either side of the same wall so I knew he'd probably hear us but hoped he wouldn't mind to much under the circs.

The fekker only burst into a loud rendition of "For she a jolly good fellow" afterwards. 😂

Whatthecrepe · 01/03/2020 19:38

Sounds like she has issues..... Either sexually or maybe she is very much the green eyed monster and doesn't want her partner hearing you have sex?! God even as I type that it's weird! How did you get on did you sleep in a hotel or sex up their house (sang to the tune of spice up your life) 🤣

PrimeroseHillAnnie · 01/03/2020 19:41

I always feel uncomfortable sleeping at somebody else’s house so I would book an hotel. You can dress up in your nuns outfit and shag all night without feeling awkward.

URWelcome · 01/03/2020 19:42

So, so weird. They’re both weirdos.

Book a hotel and have an all night shagathon.

BlackSwan · 01/03/2020 19:42

Do you think she doesn't want her husband hearing you have sex because she thinks he likes you and if he heard you having sex it would perhaps be a bit too sexy for him?
