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!

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

So sex to celebrate your parents having sex is fine?

BraveFaceScaredInside · 20/06/2022 18:25

Jesus wept all the moaning minnies.

It's is something my hubby would joke about, in fact a lot of men I know would. Any chance to try their luck hahahah Wink

I feel sick reading your post OP. Hope you didn’t.

MarvellousMonsters · 20/06/2022 19:36

Oh fuck that shit. Your body is not a reward for him being a (hopefully) decent parent. Sex isn’t a payment. And so many men wonder why they don’t get much sex, then they pull this kind of bullshit.

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.

Sounds perfect xx

Jacesmum1977 · 20/06/2022 19:43

My DH wasn’t joking!
He thinks he should get a bj/sex and should be able to have a peaceful day and do whatever he wants to do.
I told him it doesn’t work like that, at least it doesn’t on Mothers Day so he best get used to it lol

BigSkies2022 · 20/06/2022 19:47

Err, it's a joke, innit? Like when your OH asks for a 'birthday BJ'. Surely if you were seriously asking for sex because you could only get it on your 'special day', there would be something very wrong with intimacy in your relationship.

Stevienickssnickers · 20/06/2022 20:15

What's really gross is those of you who are associating this with children. That's sick. Father's Day is about celebrating the man and all he does for your family. Celebrate him the way he wants to be celebrated, and leave the kids out of it.

I can't tell if this is a joke.

Lizzy53 · 20/06/2022 20:18

Ha ha some really good answers and from the poster 😂 priceless.sorry. it's a serious post.

AdoraBell · 20/06/2022 20:21

It does in our house.

On Mothers' Day, Mum does absolutely fuck-all and gets waited on hand and foot.

On Fathers' Day, the same goes for Dad.

Also birthdays.

Just reading the title gave me the Ick too! Ewwww

Onlyforcake · 20/06/2022 20:45

How transactional.

Boxerbinky · 20/06/2022 21:31

Sounds like he tried to be ‘cute’ in the vein of birthday / Xmas as a ‘special day’ to be gifted sex.. of course the gifts being from his children on Father’s Day.. erm I’ll be kind and say he got the vibe very wrong 😂

Mirw · 20/06/2022 22:30

Just tell him the face was the thought that he wanted you to have sex with your father!!!!! Then tell him to get a life as its n ot your day, its Father's Day. So do without sex, be with child day!

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.

LOLOL brilliant

Harmonypuss · 20/06/2022 23:19

Just look at it as 'Sunday in the middle of June' sex 🥰

Everyflippingusernameistaken · 21/06/2022 00:38

He was probably just being nostalgic about how he became a father! And why not?! I’m not sure how I would feel to be honest. Depends whether I was in the mood or not. 😆

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.

Not necessarily true! My husband is a father and our daughter was made without sex 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lucky you.
I’ve never had a great Mother’s Day and part of me thinks why should I give him a great Father’s Day because he’s never gone out of his way for me; a lot of years I never even got any daffodils which cost 99p.
but o can’t help make a fuss of him because that’s how I am as a person but this year was different. I wasn’t going out of my way and I didn’t feel bad (much)

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.

Erm.... are you saying if was your dad, you WOULD give him a bj?? 😮🤔

Cooperhedwig1289 · 21/06/2022 13:36

Wow I am getting old!! are we putting "a label on it" with Sex these days too 😀I shall put this on the 2023 Calendar together with the Cake Sales and Football Training for next Year !!!😂

BringMeTea · 21/06/2022 13:46

Yuk. What a plonker.

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

You know what turns men into Fathers? It's quite often sex.

The two are intrinsically linked - it's definitely weird behaviour to recoil at the thought Grin
