Are queer lives gay lives? What does the term mean? I always thought it was an insult.

Op here. The question was not about infants. It was about in general with gay men with kids. Does the amount of sex appreciably decrease because of the kids (in contrast to pure age).

Other than little ones interrupting sometimes, I’m betting no.


Why are you curious about this? I honestly don’t understand. Is it just curious it’s about queer lives and experiences?


Op here. I’m a gay man with kids. Yes, I’m curious as to the experience of other gay female couples with children. Not from an outside looking in perspective, but from the inside looking around.

I am the OP and that is my question.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I had to google that but glad to learn something new! I'd guess any relationship is subject to the possibility of death bed but also it's a very individual thing. Address it with your partner and brainstorm solutions before it becomes an issue.

I just read about lesbian bed death. I’m thinking this is not a thing for gay men with kids. When they were babies there were times when we were both exhausted and sometimes morning sex is not practical because the kids are up and ready for us to get going, but I wouldn’t say it has decreased in any significant amount. Anyone disagree?
