Once you become a Mum the old libido doesn’t visit quite as often. It’s probably something to do with having whiney, clingy kids attached to you all day, and sometimes half the night that makes you want your body all to yourself for a little while.
Men, on the other hand, are up for it all the time.
You’re doing the dishes – oh yeah baby, it’s sexy time.
You’re bending over to pick up the kid’s toys – oh yeah, it’s inappropriate comment time that’s bound to be followed by sexy time.
You’ve been dealing with a sick kid, are totally exhausted and having your first shower in three days – you better believe it’s sexy time.
Actually this video by the Flight of the Conchord’s probably explains it better than I do.
It was the weekend and my then two year old son and four month old daughter were napping at the same time. The rarity of this event somehow stimulated our libidos and sexy time was most definitely on. A trail of clothes ripped off in record time on the way to the bedroom showed how rapidly our passions had ignited.
This is no Shades of Grey, so I’ll spare you all the details, suffice to say it was good. Really good. So good in fact, that my vocalising was a tad louder than intended. But as the climaxal moment approached, our libido was quickly shoved out the window and we collapsed in hysterical laughter when a little voice from across the hallway shouted, “Yay, go Mummy”!
How many of you can boast that you have your own Sexy Time Cheer Squad?
We lock our door because I live in fear of possibly scarring my children. The closest we’ve come to this is us finishing the deed mere seconds before my youngest knocks on our door in the morning. 5:30 a.m. is a precarious time for sexy time in our house.
BTW, LOVE the Flight of the Conchords. This is one of my favorite bits.
We haven’t had a child walk in on us…. yet!
According to the cheering section, I guess at least it sounded like you were winning! We joke that the baby is dead-set against having any more siblings to share the attention with, because she interrupts sexy time no matter what we do (it doesn’t help that she still sleeps in our room). It’s hard to get back in the mood after noticing a little set of eyes peering at you inquizitively over the edge of the crib.
Miss 2 is doing a good job of ensuring there’s no sexy time happening in our house at the moment too, so I feel your pain.
Is it wrong to assume that she thought you were winning because you, um, had the upper hand?
So very true but we do need to seize those moments to keep the partnership going
Haha, that’s gold! But, what is this sexy time you speak of???
I don’t know, I think I’ve forgotten
Good on you for impressing the cheer squad! I’m impressed
Door lock!!
Great song,thanks for sharing it! Go Mummy!
This post is so funny. Had me in fits of laugher with the video then the killer blow with ‘Yay, go mummy!’
HA!! You have got to be kidding! That is hilarious. I wonder what she thought you were doing??

I know what you mean. My husband’s libido has remained intact, while mine has hit rock bottom. I’m all touched out.
Love the picture!
