To have sex infront of 18 month old

We were having a cuddle that turned into a bit of a quickie. Ds was playing in his room and occasionally sticking his head around the door but generally not paying much attention to us.

Afterwards I turned around and came face to face with ds sitting on our bed, reading a book and showing me a picture.

He didn't seem at all bothered.
Thoughts?

I don't suppose the fearful psychological damage will emerge for about 25 years. Even then, it'll be his partner who posts "AIBU to have proof that They Fuck You Up, Your Mam & Dad?"

I would be majorly uncomfortable with it. Not much different from watching porn in the same room as a child is it?

SPBInDisguise · 25/03/2010 17:41

erm...i wouldn't, sorry
few weeks old but not when they can pay attention to stuff

Eskimoo · 25/03/2010 17:42

Agree with LilQueenie...... they do start acting out/copying at that age......

Lizzylou · 25/03/2010 17:44

YABU, sorry but am in that you would even consider this was an OK thing to do.

its an offence afaik

LynetteScavo · 25/03/2010 17:44

I wouldn't, I really, really wouldn't.

And what if something had happened to him....would you have been aware?

Besom · 25/03/2010 17:45

I wouldn't, and I couldn't.

Dh can't even do it with the cat in the room.

Chaotica · 25/03/2010 17:45

I remember stuff from that age...

Scardypants · 25/03/2010 17:46

YABU

Ewe · 25/03/2010 17:47

Ick! Possibly ok if child was asleep but awake and on the bed?

No, No, NO!

juicy12 · 25/03/2010 17:47

No way. This is a bit odd IMO.

SuSylvester · 25/03/2010 17:47

yes it is
sexual offences act section224

starts at 12 months custoday

dont knwo if that includes 18 months but it says the younger the victim the more vulernabe

you are pretty gross imo

TheCrackFox · 25/03/2010 17:47

My first memory is from roughly that age. YABU.

ShinyAndNew · 25/03/2010 17:47

Now see this why I don't have quickies ever when the dds are awake. YABU. Very unreasonable actually. What part of you thought that this would be okay?

Besom I can't do it if the dog is there. He watches . It's very off putting. Dh also worries that he the dog may mistake his cock for a sausage and bite it off .

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 25/03/2010 17:48

Eeeewwww

I'm with Besom
Even the pets have to be locked out.
The cats have a tendency to ahem, watch

Indith · 25/03/2010 17:49

We've had ds walk in on us but he was supposed to be asleep at the time so not quite the same! I don't think I ever would with the dcs awake.

BooyhooNOTboohoooORbooyou · 25/03/2010 17:49

couldn't do it either i'm afraid.

a friend walked in on her 3 YO dd being 'mounted' (as in doggy style)by one of her friend's 3 YO dses. the little boy had obviously seen that somewhere. not good IMO.

juicy12 · 25/03/2010 17:49

Just to clarify, I meant "No Way" as in I wouldn't do this. Not "No Way" do I think it's an offence. I totally agree with you, SuSylvester!

LynetteScavo · 25/03/2010 17:49

Oh, no I can't even do it with the cat watching.

BooyhooNOTboohoooORbooyou · 25/03/2010 17:50

we also put the cats out aswell.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 25/03/2010 17:50

I couldnt do it. But if, as you said you didnt realise he was there then I would recommend you are extra careful not to repeat it!

juicy12 · 25/03/2010 17:52

OP, I can't really get past your thread title tbh, makes me feel really queasy.

JeremyVile · 25/03/2010 17:53

What do you think it must look like to a child of that age? Pretty confusing at the very least I would have thought.

..."occasionally sticking his head around the door".... And that didn't put you off in any way?

Grim. And grimmer that you have to ask.
