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??

No not at all, the way I am demonstrating my love for my partner at the moment is by refraining from strangling him
On a daily basis
😂

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 31/03/2020 18:57

Yes! Tons - it's amazing!

Alright, don't rub it in Grin

Jessikka · 31/03/2020 19:09

Babyg1995 · 31/03/2020 19:10

DysonFury · 31/03/2020 19:13

Well yes, with myself.

Macncheeseballs · 31/03/2020 19:17

I'm not going near mine. He has the virus

Bumpsadaisie · 31/03/2020 19:24

We were in some kind of shock plus had symptoms for a couple of weeks so it was zero but as we've got used to the new normal the light is starting to spark again and normal relations are being resumed ....

houseofhungryboys · 31/03/2020 19:27

God no, teens in the house ALL THE TIME, bit of a passion killer 😜

TheSandman · 31/03/2020 20:38

Well yes, with myself.

LOL!

tryinghardnottocry · 31/03/2020 21:12

Oberserving strict self isolation so I am at it all the time....but only when he is out of the house

NowSissyThatWalk · 31/03/2020 21:16

Nope, much much less. We had a round yesterday but both agreed after a bit of unsatisfactory false starts that we were both too distracted.

EugeniaGrace · 31/03/2020 21:18

This.

PeachesandPie · 31/03/2020 21:22

Hell no, I have a newborn and a toddler, DH WFH. We want time apart not more time together! Sleeping in separate beds is keeping us all sane.

ShrimpSymphony · 31/03/2020 21:24

God no I don’t think he’s ever been so irritating

HairNoMore · 31/03/2020 21:24

Yes, probably, but we’re infertile so there won’t be any patter of tiny feet in 9 months...

Zombiemum1946 · 31/03/2020 21:30

Hahahaha........ no. Very bored 10yr old , and suddenly social teenager. Pre lockdown there used to be a free slot on a Friday afternoon.

ElephantsAlltheWayDown · 31/03/2020 21:30

Yes, surprisingly a lot more. I thought we'd be headed for divorce after a couple weeks of lockdown but our relationship is better than ever (probably thanks to all the sex!)

alltoomuchrightnow · 31/03/2020 21:33

No it was zero and it's even more zero now. Due to his zero libido and his medical problems that he refuses to ever mention to the doctor

whatdayisitandotherquestions · 31/03/2020 21:36

I think you need to ask couples who have no idea what they're in for haven't had any DC yet. Frazzled mothers trying to juggle home education, home working and caring for elderly relatives at a distance probably aren't your target demographic.

You want to ask the fresh youngish things, currently denied a social life but with endless time on their hands, well, in between using their isolation time productively to learn a new language / yoga style / dance routine etc etc. They're the ones who'll be in the mood for shagging.

Iateallthecookies000 · 31/03/2020 21:41

Yes Grin

RoseLalique · 31/03/2020 21:42

No it’s strange as my libido has taken a total nose dive the last couple of weeks. Dh and I talk about getting it on but by the time we get into bed we’re too knackered to do anything other than fall asleep. Worries about the teens’ mental health and worry about money and jobs are something of a passion killer.

whattodo2019 · 31/03/2020 21:43

Yes!! My husband seems to think its holiday season!!!

Brabble · 31/03/2020 21:47

Yes, think it’s been every day for the last 9 days, we both work shifts and are normally too tired or working opposite shifts normally so making the most of the time we have together 😉

Tiffanysetting · 31/03/2020 21:48

I don't know about more, we are nearly everyday as it is. She's working from home so lunch times are fun.
Then more in the evening with the odd morning thrown in.
Although we've agreed a sabbatical for a couple of days to recharge and give the body chance to heal.🙈
