Is it OK to do 'it' with a baby in the room?

[12yeargap]

Seriously - do/should you have sex - quietly and discreetly - with a (small, sleeping) baby in the room in a cot or moses basket? I honestly don't know if this is completely normal, or utterly-depraved-call-social-services behaviour. But it's nearly six weeks soon since baby was born, so I'd sort of like an opinion on this before the situation arises...thanks.

Whilst we're on the subject of cats.... I found this on another thread.

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my
strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my
advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...

not in that way, no!!!

One of our cats has jumped on my stomach when DP was (SK thinks of a way of putting this ) down south, talk about offputting.

Doing it with babies in the room fine, cats another story.............

Karmamother, have you seen the "how to give a pill to a cat or dog" joke?

can't remember it all but it's a lengthy plan of various ways to trick a cat to eat a pill. For the dog it simply says "wrap it in bacon".

np, I'm not that kind of cat lover...

lol karma

HD, yes I have. It's hilarious. Unless you've never owned a cat or dog, of course.

ive had both and i prefer cats ANY day

My laptop goes down for ten minutes and I return to this pmsl at what I missed, esp the "cat licking dick" debate.

Not sure if we're helping 12yeargap resolve her original quandary or now adding to it

I did wonder how this conversation route would help the OP, actually.

Don't get a cat, I suppose, they are evil sex life ruiners.

no do get a cat

sunday mornings with the baby and the cat snuggled in beside you are great

I take responsibility for bringing animals into the bedroom scenario and debasing the thread!!

Cat's are great, really. Just make sure there's plenty of food around if you want a shag. That'll distract em.

Or get something shiny to reflect on the wall.

also, you can leave the cat to babysit the baby while you nip upstairs for a quick one

Can I just add that I don't think one should ever do I.T. with a baby in the room. Would bore them senseless

pmsl

nailpolish - cat babysitters come highly recommended, especially when they keep baby's face so nice and warm Sorry that was possibly too tasteless, even for this thread...

Get your coat willy!

Doing it with a young baby asleep in the bed is not "wrong"! If the baby woke up you'd stop anyway wouldn't you!

Dh doesn't stop when I wake up...

LOL did you see the Desperate Housewives (first look) trailer for next week? Lynette was saying "Oh I'm SOOO exhausted.. all I want to do is fall into bed and sleep forever!" (re pizza parlour opening). And Tom said "But what about my sex? " and she said "Oh, you can still have some, but would you mind not waking me up while you have it...?"

Well now if we're onto dogs eating condoms...when in a shared house, we could tell whose bin our dog had raided by the colour of the condoms she would pass. Two best ones though was the condom that she couldn't quite squeeze through, which I had to extract like a flat balloon from her arse (and which pinged on the way out!) and also the time she did a poo that was inside a condom!!! Perhaps I really ought to go and get my coat now...

Being on this thread is demeaning me now!! In the words of the dragons - "I'm out!"

willy what do you mean about the cat and the babys face?

Only that the reason you're supposed to keep cats out of a baby's room is that they could smother the child if they lay on their face. Tasteless but was not suggesting anything lewd.
