Pennsylvania, USA: We tell our kids, aged 8 and 11, when we’re having sex – it’s the only way we get private time & they encourage us

A MUM has revealed why she openly tells her kids, aged eight and 11, that she is about to have sex.

Writer Jamie Beth Cohen, from Pennsylvania, said her sex life has dramatically improve since making the decision to be honest with her kids about her and her husband’s intimate life.

Jamie previously preferred to have sex when her kids were out the house at school, sports clubs or playdates, but this hasn’t been possible during the pandemic.

Writing for HuffPost, Jamie said: “A few months into our self-imposed quarantine, a few months in which I felt like having sex with my husband was akin to sneaking around ― and not in the good way, like when you’re 16 and riding on the back of the ‘bad boy’s’ motorcycle ― I decided to tell the kids exactly when we were having sex.”

She said that she couldn’t hide it anymore as it felt like “lying” to her children.

Jamie revealed she told her kids: “’If I close the door and turn on the fan in the hall, please leave us alone. We’re having sex.’”
