I work from home full time and my husband is a stay at home dad. My older three kids are in school from 8-3 and my youngest goes to preschool every day from 12-3 so frankly I have no idea why I don't have more mid-day sex.
But we really don't. I'm not sure if it's because I get so focused during the day I can't break away - or because my husband works out in the mornings so by noon he's a sweaty mess - or because the minute he leaves to take my daughter to school I run into my bedroom and grab my vibrator so I'm finished by the time he gets home...
But today the stars aligned, my husband decided to work out in the afternoon, I had a relatively quiet day and I was on a conference call from 11:30-12:30 that ended just as my husband was getting home from dropping off my daughter. I saw his car pull into the driveway and thought, "Hm."
He came into the house and up to my office and made his typical reference to the "midday quickie" but this time I said, "Okay." Which caught him totally unprepared.
We went into the bedroom and he was stammering while he struggled to get into the right mindset.
I made the mistake of turning on our electric blanket.
We got undressed and into bed.
MISTAKE.
Do you know what two naked 40 year olds would most like to do in an empty house in the middle of the day?
NAP.
We moaned. We groaned. We screamed out how good it felt.
(The bed, not the sex.)
For a moment it was 50/50 whether we would nap or have sex. Then I grabbed Siri and started without him.
I asked him, "Are you going to join me?"
"I'm not ready." he said. Then added by way of explanation, "The fish doesn't usually bite so quickly."
"Sometimes you shouldn't talk." I told him.
He nodded.
Siri and I continued without him. At one point he tried to join in but I was so close that I shooed him away. Then I finished round one and rolled toward him.
Not only was it fabulous but since he's been working out he's got some HOT shoulder strength that we used to incorporate some acrobatics into our routine.
I may have been insanely loud.
And then it was over and a sleepy endorphin rush rolled over me just as the electric blanket really started to kick in and it took every ounce of discipline to crawl out of bed into the cold world, get dressed and go back to work.
Because you can't eat love.
You can, however, have it for lunch.
Idk, I was always really fond of morning sex.
You know, when you wake up and all you can think is about putting your lady parts in someone's mouth.

My husbands office moved to a few miles from our house recently & we frequently take advantage of nooners... we have to be very creative with two teenagers in the house who NEVER go to bed before we do! It took some getting used to, to meet up with each other in the light of day instead of in the dead of night!

What a coincidence! I just had... what should I call it? I just had "brunch." But seriously, high five on your Nooner. With a kid I learned that you need to get creative on finding ways and time to spend with your spouse. ...and to clean up those letter blocks before bedtime so you don't step and roll your ankles while running to the bedroom when the mood strikes. (note to self.)

I'm usually in the mood for "tea time." Hubby is more of a first thing in the morning when I want it least, or bedtime when I want it second least. Sigh...

Nooners were nice when the kids started school. Now he's retired and I work (role reversal) and we look forward to unrushed weekends. Unless the grandkids are here (yes old people like sex too). Then we just look forward to the hot tub and wine on Sunday after the grandkids leave.

I love nooners, but with three kids 5 and under, it gets hard... I'm a big fan of putting on some SpongeBob, and then "Daddy and I are going to fold laundry, any one want to help?" That normally at least gets us enough time for a quicky!

Hun, even at 35, if u put two tired parents in a warm bed that's toddler free in an empty of teens house, we go to sleep. Seriously.

Afternoon sex is the best. I am a huge fan of it.

I love this post, Kit, bit you knew I would.
There's nothing like middle of the day sex, followed by a nap, followed by more sex, followed by dinner. But you just described, perhaps, the next best thing :-)
