Special Father's Day sex

177 replies

I think I've just offended DH. He asked if he was going to be getting "Father's Day sex" after DS has gone to bed. I thought he was joking, when I realised he wasn't I must have pulled a face.

I understand people talk about birthday sex, valentine's day sex etc but father's day is a day for children to celebrate and appreciate their dads. It's given me the ick but he has no idea what I'm talking about, so I was just interested to see what others think?

To be clear, I'm not adverse to having sex on father's day, just the thought of doing it specially to celebrate it!

DH this morning "don't dad's get a bj on fathers day?"

Me "that's between you and your dad, love but i usually just get mine a card".

Are you sure he wasn't just joking and chancing it? Unless there is a massive backstory of issues with your sex life.

Weird. Very weird.
It's a day for him to celebrate his role as a father, like you say. It's given me the ick just reading it tbh.

Oh hell no. What a weirdo.

BiscoffSundae · 19/06/2022 11:00

Wow 🤢 and to the bj one as well

curlymam · 19/06/2022 11:01

He was mainly joking I think, but I don't think it's ever good to see your wife recoil when you mention sex 😅

"Birthday sex" is fine.
"Father's Day sex". No. Just, no. 🤢

Lockheart · 19/06/2022 11:03

His phrasing is weird, but on the other hand I'd be hurt if my partner thought I was joking if I asked to have sex. So I can see both sides.

ComDummings · 19/06/2022 11:04

That’s fucking gross, joke or not

I literally laughed out loud 😂😂

@Jott That has really made me laugh! Great response! 😂

DH was joking and wasn't actually expecting a bj. He also asked if he could celebrate by not doing any fathering for 24hrs. We have a long marriage built on a solid foundation of sarcasm, swearing, and annoying the shit out of one another.

"DH this morning "don't dad's get a bj on fathers day?"

😆Perfect.

On a slightly more serious note, unless he gave you the ride of your life on mother's day, he can whistle.

Jott · 19/06/2022 11:10

I spent Mothers Day in A&E with DS. Maybe I should pack him off up the hospital?

NoodleNuts · 19/06/2022 11:11

I don't really see it as that weird. After all, having sex is how he became a father in the first place Wink

darisdet · 19/06/2022 11:12

That is all!

I had that too 😜 I asked what he wanted for Father's Day, he said for us to leave for the day.

Celebrate being a parent by absolving yourself of all parenting duties.

Yes I understand the hurt at first, the disgust on my face when he's talking about sex. But once I explained he's fine with that, just genuinely doesn't understand how "Father's Day sex" could make me feel like that in the first place.

@Jott Thanks for making me laugh out load! Brilliant response.

worraliberty · 19/06/2022 11:16

He's chancing it but it's not 'gross' or 'icky' like some people are saying here. It's not like he wants to do it in front of the kids.

flashpaper · 19/06/2022 11:17

Last Father's Day, my DP and I were in bed and I was fully expecting him to ask for breakfast in bed. I had a line all ready for him asking, and when he came out with "don't I get a Father's Day bj?" I replied "err no, you're not my dad" 😶

Sex on Father's Day is fine. Sex for Father's Day is weird.

'Load'? Freudian slip? 😊😂

Myotherusernamewastakenagain · 19/06/2022 11:19

I'd never really heard about it until my wife mentioned it last night so it's definitely now a welcome thing in our house.
