If you're having sex with your DH/DP and you lose interest halfway through ...

... what do you do?

I'm interested in the other thread on this.
This happens to me now and again. My mind wanders and I lose interest.

It would never occur to me to stop him though. I just let him get on with it, perhaps throw in a bit of fakery for a swifter conclusion.

I'm interested in what others do in this situation.

The washing up thing = tee hee hee.

Anybody else get spontanious orgasms?

Just me then?

Spidermama · 13/08/2008 14:26

Yes Overmydeadbody there are always those rogue teaspoons right at the back.

I could also take the opportunity to clean the gunge from under the seal.

Trying to picture the practicalities of doing it washing up????

Can't imagine the angle!

Spidermama · 13/08/2008 14:29

Ooooh it's a good angle. I miss it.

I had a rabbit once Disenchanted' but I'm such a prude and I was embarrassed to have it in the house in case the kids found it. Then I didn't know what to do with it because you don't want to put it in an Oxfam bag, nor Freecycle it so I got in quite a tiz over it. As if it was some sort of incriminating bit of evidence.

HaventSleptForAYear · 13/08/2008 14:29

Disenchanted that sounds like a good solution.

But am worried DH will be a bit "put out"!

Have tried a bit of DIY (IYSWIM) as suggested in a book I read but I felt really self-conscious.

Too late for me to name change now too!

Spidermama · 13/08/2008 14:29

As in Rampant Rbbit not real one obv.

We were once racing up to the bedroom for some afternoon delights, but he couldn't wait that long and had me on the stairs.
Very ni-i-i-i-i-ice.

Spidermama · 13/08/2008 14:33

Guurrr-ate!

I must put this whole sorry thread behind me now and go to the park for a picnic with my kids.

I'm glad I'm not abnormal.

I would speed things up as I could I wouldn't ask him to stop but I also wouldn't vocalise my thoughts in the way my mind had wandered to planning the next day or going through my to do list (in my head)

the other thread is disturbing and I think very different to your question.

lol thanks for that mental image goober!

3andnomore · 13/08/2008 14:39

Spidermama, lol ~ you and the rabbit , that made me giggle
As for your OP, I do sometimes get a bit bored halfway through....because, well...my dh can take for ever to climax...and well, after say an hour of trying all sorts...there comes a point when one gets tired and possible even sore...but if I can possibly do so, I let him get on with it, and like Goober said, try to cheerlead him on a bit, with moans, groans and words....mostly works.
However, there have been times that I have gotten so sore, that I just could not continoue and I will then offer to get him to climax in another way or he will offer to DIY the rest himself....

what a topic on a Wednesday afternoon

Tortington · 13/08/2008 14:39

i don't understand how you can lose interest half way through.

i mean are your dh's a bit rubish then - oes sex consist of mere pounding in one position

sorry to be crude. - don't get it.

3andnomore · 13/08/2008 14:42

Custardo...in my case it is the amount of time it can take....I blame the fact that he a) has no foreskin, and therefore sensation is more difficult to "get right" and b) he likes to wank a lot and I don't htink that helps sensitivity, iykwim

Pinkchampagne · 13/08/2008 14:51

There were many times I would not be in the mood/bored with sex with my ex husband, but would let him get on with it & get it over with!

I know where 3&NM is coming from with the lengthy sessions though. I have had experience of this, and may have asked for a drink break before I passed out!

Pinkchampagne · 13/08/2008 14:53

I know that my partner would stop if I asked him to though.

3andnomore · 13/08/2008 15:05

My dh would, too...he knows he can go to long at times....bless

Tortington · 13/08/2008 15:07

but still - how can yoube bored - i mean is he just huffin and puffin like a dog in heat? pump pump pump pound pound pound - becuase thats simply shit sex

twoluvlykids · 13/08/2008 15:08

i once asked dh to sop as i needed a wee. he looked shocked but i WAS desperate, he did stop.& once had to get rid of some mucky books,as earlier spidermama,didn't want to recycle/charity shop etc, so took them with me when i went to visit a friend in worthing, and dumped them in a bin in a cafe on the way there!!!!

twoluvlykids · 13/08/2008 15:08

that's stop not sop

Pinkchampagne · 13/08/2008 15:14

I was always bored in bed with ex H! It was a chore I had to get over & done with from time to time!

Don't get bored now, but lengthy sessions can get the better of me in that I run out of stamina!

olympicsnotfederer · 13/08/2008 15:14

some days you just know you are flogging a dead horse (as it were) and there is no way you are going to climax (I find this is just before or just after a period)

in these situations, DH could try ALL SORTS of inventive things (not just huffin and poundin) and we would still be there 3 wks later

so I indicate "time out" and he winds it up, or I do

olympicsnotfederer · 13/08/2008 15:16

there is a reason that mother nature makes sex more "enjoyable" around the middle of your cycle

I find this is very pronounced in me, getting more so as I get older

in fact, I think mother nature has realised that time is running out rapidly for me (in a pro-creative sense!)

3andnomore · 13/08/2008 15:18

Custardo...no dh is not just doing huffing and puffing...we are quite inventive most of the time...but,if it has been going on for a long time....well, there just comes that point when one has had enough....usually I come well before him...but of course it would not be fair to make him stop just because I am done....but if it seems just never ending....well, the mind will start wandering, lol...hard to explain....

Tortington · 13/08/2008 15:21

do you not enjoy sex - knowwhat you mean - some days nothing in sight, but still i enjoy the sex.
