Mommies Have Sex Too

Silicon Valley’s Moms Blog is having a day of sex-related posts (subscribed). I have appreciated everyone thus far.

An excerpt:

“Mommy, why are you sitting on Daddy’s lap all naked?” …. Oh. (sheepish grin here) Did I forget to mention we were naked? My first reaction was to swat my husband on the head… did he not see the child exiting the backdoor and walking up to our chairs? He claims he couldn’t see him and neither of us heard a thing.

We remained calm and just said we were done with the hot tub and waiting until we were dry because we forgot to bring towels, blah blah blah and on and on with the pathetic parent cover up. Now, I continue to tell myself and anyone with a license to practice child psychology, that since we weren’t actually in the “act” of doing anything no harm done, but the position was indeed compromising. But we didn’t fuss at him, or overreact (or move too quickly at all as I recall) but walked him back upstairs and tucked him in next to his bed just steps away from his two snoring sisters.

Her husband’s first stop the next morning was to Ace Hardware for a latch for the door. LOL Look, we’ve all been there. If you’ve got kids, chances are they didn’t arrive at your house via the stork. Most marrieds do have sex.

And, newsflash, sex isn’t dirty or embarrassing, it’s just private.

To prevent unhealthy reactions to sex in the future for your kidos, locks are essential. We have a door that locks. Sure, it prevents the purely spontaneous sex that we had before kids, but, it’s worth it.
