Please tell me about your sex life during lockdown.

[Mummypig2020]

I’m feeling crappy and sexually frustrated. Me and Dh have only had sex once since lockdown. 3dc and the older two who haven’t been going bed until late has completely ruined it for us. Dh just can’t get in the mood 😑😑😑

And now he’s moaning it’s too hot.

Please tell me I’m not the only one with the lack of sex life atm.

It's normal for me. Maybe a tiny bit less as the kids are up later and I'm feeling tired and a bit drained but still at least 4 times a week.

Bit more than usual , I haven't been working so less dashing about so I'm more relaxed . 2 adult dc in house but due to a door on the landing I'm very sure they can't hear.

Same as always - about 4 times per week. We don’t have kids though so that definitely helps with being able to find the time

Had sex once. Got pregnant (surprise - couldn't get the injection due to lockdown). Spent the last few weeks in bed early & spewing so never since.

Crap - spend too much time together (24 hours a day)

Every two or three days since DC 2 turned 6 weeks old whilst in lockdown. The toddler goes to bed early and the baby sleeps well - what else is there to do on an evening!

We are too knackered for sex here!

Dealing with excitable young children for 14 hours every day just drains us and so by the time the eldest one has gone to bed we just want to go to sleep ourselves.

We are probably averaging at once a week.

The oldest has just returned to school though and the days are slightly less hectic with just one child at home so I’m hoping our energy levels improve!

It was better. But my mental health hadn't been great so less more recently. We don't have children so it's a different situation to many. My partner is working lots though so I feel there's a lot for me to do domestically which I get doesn't help at all.

Managed to get pregnant so cant be that bad lol. Some weeks we manage it 4 or 5 times other weeks it's less, depends on his shifts because he sometimes starts work at 5am so is in bed early

Slightly more than normal, but that isn't very much. No kids here.

We usually have sex at least three times a week, usually more like 4 or 5. Since lockdown it’s slowly dwindled to once a week if that. DH has been rather ill throughout with an eye ulcer though so on a lot of different medications and I’m 8 months pregnant so both have our excuses.

Ultimately think spending 24 hours a day together for months just isn’t healthy though, we both miss the boring routine of work and school runs.

JingsMahBucket - @Magicpaintbrush why can’t your husband sleep with you and your daughter? Is the bed not big enough?

Afraid not, no. Our DD is 11 years old - we wouldn't all fit. And DH gets so anxious about being kept awake that he wouldn't sleep a wink anyway. I'm sure it will resolve itself eventually, but sleep and anxiety is a very long standing and complicated issue with her, going back about 3.5 years.
