Tent shagging etiquette

Erm, yes. 2 weeks coming up in a tent. DCs in pup tent. Family in tents nearby. Does this mean 2 weeks of celibacy? Even if super quiet, the possibility that my mother in law might hear or even just suspect fills me with horror. What is the etiquette?

Oh no, the thought of MIL even thinking about it makes me cringe. Now I won't be able to let anyone take the kids to the playground in case they assume!

daily basis

I know this is a holiday, but blimey.

GertrudeSmellsDivine · 09/07/2016 23:35

Most kids know not to disturb adults who are playing tigers surely?

PatriciaHolm · 09/07/2016 23:36

PS...2 WEEKS in a tent? You know you're not going to be able to do anything other that moan about your aching back after about day 3 sleeping on the ground, right?

And this is why hotels were invented.

And communal shower block. I think I'd rather just invite MIL to view than that.

...camping for two weeks is no holiday love...
Do whatever you need to get you through that horror ...I think you deserve a bit of sexy time purely for the staying in a tent for 2 weeks palava.

Most kids know not to disturb adults who are playing tigers surely? Sounds far too fun for the likes of my kids, I'd need a more boring sounding euphemism. Reading DIY manuals or something.

I couldnt do it. I cant do silent sex. I try very hard to be as quiet as I can but silent just isnt happening. Luckily for everyone in my vicinity i am longterm single Grin nor do I camp.

Canvas · 09/07/2016 23:41

DH not great at silence either. I have total control over noise (paranoid re neighbours).

GertrudeSmellsDivine · 09/07/2016 23:42

Just channel your inner teenager and relive the heady days of shagging without your parents finding out.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 09/07/2016 23:42

If you're going for two weeks it will piss it down at some point. Wait till then as the noise in a tent from the rain will drown anything else out.

Doggity · 09/07/2016 23:43

I know nothing about camping or sex in tents but I must ask, what is a pup tent?

ExitPursuedByABear · 09/07/2016 23:43

Camping 😱😱😱😱

Why?

TinyGoldfish · 09/07/2016 23:43

Sorry, just to confirm: communal shower block but private cubicles right? Have an awful image of 2 weeks camping with open showers.

PurpleCrazyHorse · 09/07/2016 23:45

WhoTheFuck is onto a winner. If in the UK it will rain or blow a gale during the two weeks. Use that as your cover.

Canvas · 09/07/2016 23:45

Pup tent = (I believe) smaller tent.

Showers better bloody be cubicles. Really starting to re-think this whole fiasco.

OP posts:

Not UK, and heat wave forecast.

OP posts:
PatriciaHolm · 09/07/2016 23:45

Doggity - pup tents are little tents (single tents basically) you offload the kids into when you sleep in the bigger one.

Or in our case, a tiny double so we can give each child an end of the big bedroom room tent and keep them apart!

SwearyInn · 09/07/2016 23:46

Slightly tangential but it so anyone else thinking of the Austin Powers tent scene now?

CatThiefKeith · 09/07/2016 23:47

Princess were you at a VW festival in the late 90's? Grin

GertrudeSmellsDivine · 09/07/2016 23:50

Tell you what OP, for a small fee I'll pitch my tent in the same field as you. Heatwave or not, I can guarantee it'll piss down.
HTH

Pinkheart5915 · 09/07/2016 23:51

2 weeks in a tent, your a braver woman than me 2 days is my absolute limit.

Sex in a tent

Lights off
Bury your head In the pillow
Go for it!

Or do what me and dh done last year leave your child with your brother at the tent and go for a shower together (the shower block was fab heated floor, nice individual showers) so we had a shower together and I can say it was some of the best sex we have ever had Wink
