Exactly... Mid 40s here, prudish DW paranoid about kids hearing us from next room, never wants sex when they are home. Has to be sleepovers for them, or a hotel for us.

Keep riding him, honey ...

Haha! I love your explanation!

If the other mom brought it up, then she has a good sense of humor and wasn’t at all uncomfortable. Nobody would think ill of you if the story is passed on — quite the opposite, actually. Enjoy the laugh! It’s really no big deal.

Least said, soonest mended.

This happened to us when my son was 5-6 years old. He was watching cartoons in the living room. My wife and I have a habbit of laying in bed on Saturday/Sunday and drinking coffee and talking. She’ll usually get on top of me and sexily stretch as we talk and drink our coffee.

One morning she was joking around teasing me while doing this and it turned into full on go time. She was on top, head back while holding my hands on her boobs WORKING IT. My son busted through the door wanting something. We did our best to look like nothing was going on and he luckily he didn’t seem to notice. He went back to watch cartoons and figured that we’re going to owe him some counciling.

Ultimately, your marriage is one of the cornerstones of your child’s wellbeing and mental health. You need to be a good partner to your spouse as much as you need to be a good parent to your children. A kid walking in on you is much better than having to sit your kids down for a “mommy and daddy are getting a divorce” conversation.

People with no locks. Lean a book up against the door to serve as an early warning.

oh, I remember the days! We are now empty nesters and I love being able to leave the door open and not worry about the noise just like in pre-kid days 20 years ago.

So this is risky, I know, but we don't have locks on any of our bedroom doors! We do have a child lock on the handle that used to keep them out. At 6 and 8, neither has any problem opening it, but it does take a several extra seconds and is a bit noisy so I feel like this gives us enough time to ... adjust. Probably time to get a lock. I am more concerned with at what age the kids will understand the noises --we have gotten pretty good at keeping quiet ourselves but the bed makes a lot of noise. I telework full time and DH does fairly frequently, so more and more we are having sex when the kids are at school.

hah. Why didn't the other mom and you just have a big laugh?? Obviously everyone has sex and nearly everyone gets walked in on sometimes.

That happened to us once and I'm so glad I wasn't clever enough to say horsey. I don't think it made a lasting imprint on my now young adult son. As others have said you need to lock your door.

A few nights ago, after forgetting to lock our door, my 5YO son came into our room while my DH and I were in the middle of sex with me on top. I have no idea how long he was there but I suddenly hear this little voice say "mommy, what are you doing?" While freaked out I quickly said "Mommy and Daddy are playing horsey" and then I put him back to bed. Yesterday he had a play date at a friends and afterwards the mom said "___ said that his mommy and daddy like to play horsey!". My attempt at coming up with a different story failed miserably. I begged her not to repeat the story but we'll see! I guess I should have said "nothing!"

The other mother is probably impressed that you still have sex.

I am about to get divorced and that is going to hurt my kid a lot more than seeing us have sex would have, so just be glad you still love each other.

Ha! that is hysterical. About 8 years from now your DS will remember this incident and realize what was happening. And he'll be grossed out beyond belief.

For now, just ignore it and it will go away.

At least you’re still having sex, right?

It happens. We've had some close calls too. Nothing quite that obvious, but given that we like to drink on weekends once the kids are down for bed, a slip up might happen someday.

Lol. it happens. Hopefully he won't remember when he's older. Make sure you lock the door from now on.
