To ask are you having more sex because of lockdown?

[Gre8scott]

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??

Not much has changed here in that regard. DH still working as normal and Im a SAHM, so the only difference is that i have both kids home now instead of just one.
Maybe if DH was working from home. Lots of tv for the kids and sex for us 😂

Good god no! If my husband and I haven’t killed each other by the time this is over it will be a massive achievement. Having said that, we’ve not DTD since our little boy was conceived and he’s 16 months tomorrow

The only baby boom may come from people who are not parents already. Those with kids already are busier than ever, tired, stressed, worried about money and the impact on their children's education and future.

I worry I might. I had my IUD removed back in Jan to start TTC again, but we've decided to stop in light of the current situation. That now means we have no contraception and, in a cruel twist, I only ever fancy a shag when I'm ovulating. We will see...

I would be if I hadn’t just had major surgery and I’m not allowed to for another 6 weeks!

You must be joking! We're working around each other in shifts to combine WFH with looking after a hyperactive toddler who doesn't sleep and "home-schooling" (in our own well-meaning but totally inept way) a primary aged DC. By the time the kids are in bed and we've finished work for the day we're both completely exhausted. If we didn't have kids then it'd be a different story.

Yes...not working so more energy!

Less than usual here. Teens are who go to bed the same time as we are is a distinct put off. We managed it one night but almost got caught out.

Less! In fact not at all. I’m WFH and my husband still goes to work every day so he’s terrified he has it and is asymptomatic and will pass it onto me 😔

I miss him but grateful we’re both in good health at the moment 😊

apart from being made to stay in so w ecant go on our holidays every 5-6 weeks(caravan parks) or educational outings nothing home wise have changed for us as we were 24/7 carers to 2 disabled kids that was home educate anyway

both dont sleep so still need a adult with them each at night

Yes, I'm on my own!

We have a child, are working, and are stressed. Sex is not a priority.

I honestly can’t imagine there will be a baby boom. Being pregnant right now must be terrifying. If we hadn’t gone the sterilization route for birth control, I would be doubling or
tripling up on prevention methods.

No way. Three people in dh's department at work have come down with suspected Covid and until dh has been away from them for 14 clear days he is coming no where near me.

Yep loads more now, but I have no kids and it's just me and my partner at home

Yes. Husband isn’t doing 12-14 hour days so has the energy.

Yes - we are spending more quality time together as he has no commute but is hidden away for a big part of the day so I don’t feel like we’re in each other’s way.

Also, he dropped his post vasectomy sample into the GP just before this all kicked off (I suggested he should get a move on as could see what was coming) and got the all clear on Friday

Yes more activity but no chance of pregnancy as still recovering from an episiotomy 5 weeks ago! Husband usually commutes roughly 3 hours a day and is knackered whereas right now he can’t get enough when we aren’t being interrupted by the baby wanting booby!

less sex.

No children , but I'm not on any birth control as we've been TTC since last August. There's no way I'm still TTC and I have no birth control

I wish more, small baby, planned sex isn't that sexy.

Hahahahaha hahahahaha

No.

There’s nowt to make me feel remotely sexy about the fear of some bloody pandemic . Plus I’m stressed right out with my mum who’s in hospital after a heart attack, with rapidly worsening dementia. But that’s a whole other depressing thread

Yes. I’m only teaching a few online classes now to senior students and with the studio obviously my running any events/exams/shows etc. And dh although he runs a haulage firm they are only doing deliveries of essentials so not as much work there either. Less work along with dd 4 who sleeps 7:30/8 until 8/8:30ish we definitely have.

Not a chance. Wrangling a four year old and a six month old 24 hours a day means we just about make it up the stairs without collapsing, let alone shagging.

If we were in the house on our own with no kids, there'd be no stopping us.

These responses are So interesting

Yeps

Nothing else to do! House is spotless, my washing basket is empty, most of it DIY jobs are done.

Kids are in bed by 7pm Dh isn’t working so no shift pattern to account for.

Novelty is wearing off now tho

I'm very broody and hoping for a positive result on the antibody test when it comes out. Plan to crack on ttc then and hope for the best. So will probably be contributing to a baby boom.
