Would you sleep with two different people in the same day?

I don’t mean a threesome.

Purely hypothetical at the moment, but I’m curious to know what people would do.

I only have every other weekend free due to childcare. I have a casual partner, and I’ve been speaking to someone for the past 6 weeks I really want to meet.

When lockdown is lifted (yes, I don’t it’s going to be any time soon hence hypothetical), I would probably see on of them Friday Night and the other Sat night. If I stay over (which I do with my casual), there would be morning sex.

So that’s my question really - would you have morning sex with one person and then have sex with someone else in the evening? I can’t decide if I think it’s fine or a bit weird.

Hope you decide what to do OP and have fun.

The thread has been as enjoyable as always and the usual suspects haven’t disappointed Grin

ElderflowerPotion · 11/05/2020 17:26

Do what you want, no one's bothered.

It was just a question, but apparently some people really bothered by this Wink

When household visits are allowed again, the spread of Covid is just as likely amongst friends as sexual partners. Why do you think it wouldn’t be?

Because it is far more likely to spread a respiratory illness via intimate contact, namely kissing, then it is just by sitting near to someone else. You aren't going to be maintaining a 2 metre distance from the man you're having sex with and you'll be kissing. They are currently saying highest risk of transmission is from close contact for 15 minutes. Presumably you don't snog your family?

If you honestly don't understand this then frankly I'm concerned.

Ultimately these arguments just show that some posters have an ethical issue with non monogamy.

Yes! This ^

🤚🏻 both to @Smilethoyourheartisbreaking and @wishfuldreamer

Everyone is entitled to their choice, monogamy or non monogamy is a choice, someone is not immoral for choosing one or the other.

ElderflowerPotion · 11/05/2020 17:28

@MarieQueenofScots - You’ve been brilliant on this! And yes, if anything it’s just confirmed that I am okay with it. I can’t see any real harm other than some very strange, nonsensical arguments.

OP posts:
Hearhoovesthinkzebras · 11/05/2020 17:30

If you couldn't see any harm in it you wouldn't have needed to start a thread to ask strangers on the internet what they think.

ElderflowerPotion · 11/05/2020 17:33

I did say in my original post that I wasn’t sure if it was weird or not - the posts have confirmed to me that it’s fine - the only complaint seems to be ingrained misogyny which I’m very willing to let go of.

OP posts:
ElderflowerPotion · 11/05/2020 17:35

And who knows! I might not even end having sex with new guy so this could all be a moot point.

FWB on the other hand is a given Wink

Samiad85 · 11/05/2020 17:41

Oh yes go for it! I have done this before but now I’ve been in a relationship 12 years and I’m lucky if I have sex once a month so I say enjoy it!!

Cherrybakewelll · 11/05/2020 17:46

No. Mainly because it’s just a bit much also you are a mum so I would feel quite bad. I can’t see how it’s necessary.

StarlightLady · 11/05/2020 17:49

So some people would and others wouldn’t. No probs there.

But calling people names and using sexist language because they opt for a more libertine lifestyle is, oh, so wrong.

If you are happy with it and safe then why is it anyone else's business. I personally wouldn't, but I wouldn't sleep with someone I was in a casual relationship with, my choice.

Myohmy111 · 11/05/2020 17:56

Yep I’ve done this before - with a fling (in the morning) and then with my ex (later that evening). Of course with a shower in between. I had an amazing time as both were very passionate guys . My then ex’ is now my DH and I still have no regrets 20 odd years later.

BelleHathor · 11/05/2020 18:07

You can't do that!!! You're a mother. Won't somebody think of the Children 😅🤣🤣😂
Fuck it like Samantha said in Sex and the city:
"I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever I want and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe and kneel."
Get yours, you're all adults, A good man is so hard to find. Well actually, a hard man is so good to find! 🙃😉

MissBehaviour1 · 11/05/2020 18:09

Nah that's nasty.

rayoflightboy · 11/05/2020 18:33

No. Mainly because it’s just a bit much also you are a mum so

Are mums not allowed a sex life then @Cherrybakewelll

CrystalShark · 11/05/2020 18:34

Not sure if I would again in the future, but I have before. Two different guys in the space of six hours.

CrystalShark · 11/05/2020 18:35

Actually just as I posted that I remembered it’s happened several times and not always with the same two guys 😂

SenselessUbiquity · 11/05/2020 18:37

On the "but you are a mother!" point

It is taking better care of your children, if you are not with their father, to have enjoyable casual sex that doesn't impinge on their lives than to enter into new serious relationships with men. Stepfathers, statistically, pose a huge risk to children. Yes, you could stay celibate, as one way of protecting them, but if you don't want to, and you can have fun, safe FWB style stuff in your life then you are taking a more responsible attitude towards them than dragging some man into their lives and trying to play happy ever after, just so you don't feel guilty about taking your knickers off.

Cherrybakewelll · 11/05/2020 18:37

@rayoflightboy of course mums are definitely entitled let’s be honest it’s not the fact that she may choose to have sex and enjoy herself. It’s the fact that on Friday it’s one person and Saturday another! I mean come on surely that’s a short amount of space that’s my only gripe NOT the fact she’s doing what she enjoys.

daisychain01 · 11/05/2020 18:42

the OP has specifically said post lockdown

Yup, absolutely because as soon as the Government announces the lockdown is over, there is an instant resolution to the global pandemic emergency. RIiiight

This thread is a parallel universe, the ignorance is frightening. People cannot join the dots.

OP good luck, you're gonna need it.

Waitingforboristoletusfree · 11/05/2020 19:04

@cravingthelook
I have to disagree with that. If you are in a poly relationship that is fine, as long as everyone knows the score. It’s when people don’t know it becomes quite grim! I personally wouldn’t want a mans penis in my mouth that has another women’s bodily fluids on from the morning. And no a shower wouldn’t get rid completely in my eyes. However if I knew, and it didn’t bother me, then that’s fine!

JingsMahBucket · 11/05/2020 19:09

Man, the conservative pearl clutchers will just not leave this alone will they, @ElderflowerPotion? They're throwing everything at you to somehow create a "Gotcha!" moment but they're failing. It's like they have to have the last word at all times. @MarieQueenofScots you and others have done wonderfully on this thread. This thread brought back some great sexy hijinks memories for me as well. Fuck on. :)

Cherrybakewelll · 11/05/2020 19:11

@SenselessUbiquity I agree with you. But if doesn’t mean we having to go with 2 different men in a short amount of space though does it. That in my book is not my definition of getting to know somebody I would rather just continue with the first guy I’ve slept with. I just don’t see the point tbh.

Each to their own though.
