What can stop lovemaking in your home, in a heartbeat?

Only my child waking up.

Oh no. That sounds aweful!

We have three kids and one of the first things we taught them as soon as they could walk was to knock on a closed door and wait for an answer before entering.

It's just simple politeness and will server your daughter the rest of her life, to respect people's privacy. Our kids were taught as soon as they could walk, about a year old. (Before that our youngest baby used to crawl out of the crib, crawl across the hall and get into our bed and latch herself on. But it was usually in the middle of the night, so it didn't happen while we were having sex.)

Our oldest had the hardest time with this, because she has ADHD, and is really impulsive. We would literally train her, set aside time to do it over and over until she got it, have her stand outside the door, KNOCK and then wait until someone either came to the door or said, "Come in." If someone said, "You can't come in now." She knew she HAD to wait. Some of these "Training sessions" would go on for half an hour or more, because in when she was 6 or 7 or so, she would just walk in, AFTER learning to knock when she was younger.

We just didn't give up AND there was a consequence for walking right in without knocking. She knew that if she were sick, it was a different story (but even then, she could knock) and it only took a few weeks to condition her the first time (when she was one) and then a few weeks when it started happening again when she was about 6 or 7.

It happened again when she was a little older (and she did walk in while we were having sex, luckily the lights weren't on) and the Consequence was taking her door to her room off the hinges for a week! She never walked in without knocking again!

For a younger child, a sticker chart, or gentle subtle affirmations when they remember to knock (like "Good job. You knocked like a Big Girl.") (and a stern warning when they just walk in) should do the trick. BUT, you have to be consistent let ONE incident go without a consequence and you are back at Square One and have to start all over again.

And, remember, too, you are teaching her a skill she will remember for the rest of her life: Respecting other people's privacy.

Haha! This is exactly what stops our sex often too. My hubby has them often because he has a pinched nerve, 4 bulging disc, his hips are out of place, and a few other things as a result of a car accident where he smashed into a telephone pole and he was ran over with a Nissan Path Finder. My hubby has got to the point where he knows that climaxing isn't going to happen for the day, so I rub out the cramp and he finishes me off.

I said phone call, but that depends on who it is and how many times they called. Once, we don't answer it, but the second time...we figure something is wrong. If it's his children he would answer it. Otherwise everyone else has to wait. We will be done soon enough.

We can't close pets off because we don't have a door, so they often are at the foot of the bed. We try to remove them, but they are too busy sleeping. Only one of my cats seems to know what is up. She will come up to me and start meowing when I am climaxing.

Since we don't have a bedroom door, one of my boys crying or saying mom or dad does stop us. However, this is very rare. We put them to bed and they usually stay asleep.

Fire alarm? You guys must have "smoking hot" sex.

We usually kind of stop till the cramp eases up....but it doesn't stop the mood or the "event" totally. Cramp gone...sex continues.

Ah...enjoy these carefree days of "youth".

Seems that would do it.

That would definitely do it.

Especially if no one else is in the house?
