Special Father's Day sex

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!

Sex and Father's day are inherently entwined.

If you didn't gave sex with him, he wouldn't have become a father. I can totally see why his brain would link the two.

I think you need to lighten up.

We have a long marriage built on a solid foundation of sarcasm, swearing, and annoying the shit out of one another.

Yep, 20 years together and that would be a typical interaction for us.

I find a lot of people describing their relationships on MN like aliens describing concepts I can barely comprehend: if your DP annoys you, tell them rather than asking whether you should be offended; if they persistently fuck up, have a blazing row and sort it out.

I think if you find your DP trying to initiate sex, or just joking about sex, gross or creepy then you need to break up or have couple's counseling.

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

Do they do blow jobs now? No wonder the NHS is experiencing high demand.

Or you could just pop the lid open on the angelcare nappy bin and leave the smell of this is where sex got us! to waft around the matrimonial bed.

Funny how women don't go around on mothers day asking for cunnilingus

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.

Hahahah...... this made me laugh so much!!

OP Yes it does sound weird when it's said like that.... if he's anything like my hubby he was just chancing his luck and made a poor choice in how he asked.

Blow jobs and father's day are not 'inherently intertwined' as do not result in pregnancy

HNRTT but are you spending father's day at Centreparcs? Perhaps tell him you've bought something special to celebrate his super-special day but he'll need to relax and might need some lubricant.

Surely pegging is more of a shrove Tuesday thing?

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

This. Weird uptight thread.

Purplecatshopaholic · 19/06/2022 11:43

Thank you @Jott for making my day!

Lastarse · 19/06/2022 11:43

I got the ick from the thread title alone (but couldn’t help myself clicking on it of course).

PeterPomegranate · 19/06/2022 11:45

It’s weird and icky because Father’s Day is celebrated by children and their father. So suggesting celebrating with sex suggests an unpleasant association. To me anyway.

Yes to sex on Father’s Day. No to sex because it’s Father’s Day

I want this on a Father’s Day card!

“Funny how women don't go around on mothers day asking for cunnilingus.”

I fully intend to next year- just hadn’t thought of it! 😁

It's definitely not uptight to recoil at the association of sex in the same sentence as Father. It is weird, and clueless of the DH not to know how he sounded.

it must be yet another MN parallel universe thing, I've never heard of the concept of Father's Day sex, but the again I only found out about "Steak and a BJ Day" on here, so looks like my education is now complete Grin

WhenAllIsLost · 19/06/2022 11:52

Mine has never asked for it, I don't know how I'd feel about it. In some ways it's ok because sex is how he became a father so it kinda makes sense.
