Just that. People keep saying there will be a baby boom in 9months and I wondered is it true? Are people really having more sex cause they are stuck at home??

Both key workers so no change here. If we were both in lockdown it would probably be more as no late or night shifts to mess things up.

Spacerader · 02/04/2020 09:35

No chance, if anything its less. The children are around more, they aren't going to visit thier dad on the weekends currently, so that care free time to not sneak about has gone.

And i doubt my PJ, unkempt, eaten to much look is all that attractive right now.

No. No no no. How is anyone relaxed enough to have sex? I’m fully frigid.

raspberryk · 02/04/2020 10:45

Don't you have sex to relax not just when you're already relaxed??

Because it is what it's is, nobody knows if they'll get this virus, so you just have to carry on living your life, or as much as we are allowed to and not wind up over this. They haven't stopped us having sex, well not this week, maybe next.

We are relaxed , we’re adhering to lockdown protocol so don’t see the point in worrying about what may happen.
Totally understand those that still have to go out to work will be on edge though

LovelyIssues · 02/04/2020 14:11

Absolutely

HairyFloppins · 02/04/2020 14:14

Nope. He is a keyworker and I don't really want him near me as I don't want covid. Anxiety is through the roof at the moment as well. Can't think of anything worse.

Spamellahamella · 02/04/2020 14:19

Nope. I am not keen on breathing on or being breathed on at the moment. Also the teenagers are omnipresent.

AuntieMarys · 02/04/2020 14:22

Not stopped us even though adult dd is currently staying with us. She is busy doing Joe Wicks while we do slightly different exercises 😀

BlossomingTulip · 03/04/2020 10:12

@shiveringcoyote:Teenagers are roaming around like starving wildebeest at all hours of the day and night so no, theres been zero sex.

Lol.....same here

@ cornishdreams: If I was 21 with a handsome boyfriend on an intimate lockdown, with no shopping slots to book at 3am then maybe....

I couldn't agree more.....I did my shopping at 3.20am( I thought I was the only crazy one!)and it's coming in 20 daysHmm

Wisteriacottage · 03/04/2020 10:18

I don't know anyone who has it anymore? If you have it you are in the minority.

Ilovetea09 · 03/04/2020 11:11

Are you kidding? Lol
All of the babies conceived will be first born children. Lockdown with kids is enough to put anyone off!

lilgreen · 03/04/2020 11:13

@Wisteriacottage do you think people will tell you?Hmm

lilgreen · 03/04/2020 11:15

I’m enjoying it when we can(teens in the house) as it feels, among the long list of things we can’t do,like something we CAN do!

EveryThingWillBeWorthIt · 03/04/2020 11:38

Yes - it's fab Grin Blush

Wisteriacottage · 03/04/2020 14:24

@lilgreen t's the other way round, lots of people I know saying they are not get any it Grin

lilgreen · 03/04/2020 17:53

How strange if not vulgar! Grin

Chickoletta · 04/04/2020 10:21

@lilgreen I’m not sure that Mumsnet is the place for you. This is an anonymous forum on which we feel free to talk about all sorts of things we wouldn’t necessarily discuss with friends in real life, including (whisper it) - sex.

lilgreen · 04/04/2020 11:10

I’m joking you dope!

Chickoletta · 05/04/2020 09:36

@lilgreen Sorry! 🙈😳
