Coitus interruptus by window cleaners!

[Iloveabaconbutty]

This has happened twice in the past few months. DW and I were having a rare lie-in on a midweek day off and around 9am we decided we'd like to DTD. Just as things were nicely under way we heard the sound of rattling ladders, men's voices etc - yes, as if timed to perfection, the window cleaners had arrived!

Do we (a) carry on regardless (the curtains are firmly closed btw!), (b) stop what we are doing and wait for them to finish and hope they think no-one's in when they ring the doorbell for payment and then just carry on, or (c) get up, scrabble around for some money and chuck some clothes on to look vaguely decent when they knock on the door in a few minutes time?

Both times it was (c). The moment was wrecked and we just ended up putting the coffee on and getting up. Quite comical but infuriating at the same time as the opportunity for a relaxed bit of morning sex when it's just us in the house is a bit of a rarity.

Anyone else had a similar experience and how did you handle it? Maybe we should be more relaxed, but the the idea of someone else being just a few feet away even if they are unaware of what we were up to was just too distracting.

As long as curtains are closed and you're not screaming the house down go for a). If they come in same day pop money on envelope on doorstep

Can you not pay online? I do.

Not with these chaps. That's the problem. And they don't have a particular day/time. They just randomly turn up every few weeks. They do a decent job, it's just their timing a couple of times over the last year has been spot on the same as we've been enjoying a bit of...relaxation. Hopefully it won't happen again, but knowing my luck it probably will. Perhaps we ought just to leave a sign up saying something like, "Not now, nookie in progress!"

Happened a few times to us - I just keep going (even if the curtains are a bit open :-o)

Wish I could be as relaxed! 😂

The way I see it, they’ve probably seen it all before and I also get a bit of a thrill knowing they can see me. DH is a bit self conscious so I just make sure I’m on top x

Haha, good for you. And you're right, it's probably nothing knew to them. I'll try not to be so bothered if it happens again.

In a similar vein, my partner and so went to Cyprus about five years ago and were stating in a villa. The villa rep met us off the plane and handed us the keys and welcome pack. After establishing that we had been to Cyprus lots of times before and really didn't need any surprise drop-in visits from her during our stay, she promised to leave us well alone. So, in the middle of the afternoon in day two we were hot, horny and possibly slightly drunk. As we were enjoying the delights of a bit of light role playing (I'd been a "very naughty boy"), we heard a clearing of a throat and looked up from our respective naked positions to see the holiday rep watching through the open window on the pretext of dropping off a map of the area. Sadly she didn't join us and didn't stay for a drink either. We didn't see her again.

Can’t you just relocate to another part of the house? Or invest in some high quality black out blinds to put behind the curtains so there is no chance you can be seen?

@HarperHelper Good suggestion - and we do need some black out curtains anyway for summer months as curtains are a bit transparent to sunshine in the very early morning. Other parts of the house, perhaps. Although there aren't many if any places a window cleaner can't see.

It's funny that it's mainly me. DW is more relaxed about it. Maybe I'm just your stereotypical restrained Englishman. It reminds me a bit of a holiday in France a few years ago when we found ourselves at the nudist end of a beach and thought, "what the heck?" and chucked off all our clothes. Actually it was a lovely experience swimming and sunbathing au naturel with everyone around us naked and entirely unbothered.

There was a moment when I was walking back up from the sea and DW was sunbathing face down and a man was walking past and glanced down to have a look at her, clearly checking her out. I mentioned it to her later and she laughed. But I found it actually very exciting that this total stranger had seen her in the nude arousing his interest and she thought it was pretty sexy too. Just talking about it in bed later was a real turn on and led to some very intense orgasmic sex.

But that was away on a relaxing continental holiday in the French sunshine. Back home on a chilly Thursday morning with some guy cleaning windows outside - different altogether!

Plus I'm not sure he would appreciate catching an eyeful of us doing it either! Altogether better get on and get those blackout curtains!
