Appropriate/Inappropriate Nicknames for Sex

[MrMarried]

My children do not understand my wife's language, well, only a few words, so I'll tell my wife I want sex right out, or say something like, "Do this to that" a vague phrase in her language that kind of has a funny story attached to it, unrelated to sex. She knows what I mean.

I was thinking of some really bad ways of referring to sex. How about the husband tells his stay-at-home mom wife,

"It's time to pay the rent."

That's just awful, but it might work for a couple a certain sense of humor. Mention the idea, and then when the kids are around he says, "We need to pay some bills. It's time to pay the rent." and because of the previous conversation, she knows what he means.

Do you have any code phrases for sex, or can you think of any?

[Sygoonda]

A couple I know used to call it doing push ups.

Hey babe. I’m hungry for taco.

Hey babe. I’d like to go canoeing some time. How about you?

Hon, clearly you’re having a hard time. I think we should work on our communication. (OR…I think we need to practice our communication skills later )

[Paradox]

We say, "Let's cuddle tonight," or, "Wanna rub bellies?", or, "Do you feel like a romantic interlude?" She sometimes asks me, "Do you want a poke??"

[Sygoonda]

I heard someone call it bumping uglys

There are many appropriate names for sex within marriage, and I wold think, very few inappropriate ones. Whatever floats your boat, from the most obtuse to the most blatant. Most of the times, when one is hungry for food, a pretty explicit request is common, why not the same for sex.

We say, "We should do a load of laundry." It's the punchline to an old joke we heard years ago.

[Ron]

We will say something like, "want to cuddle in bed" or "snuggle". Sometime we are both just pretty open about it and say, "you want to go have some sex?"

[OnlyByGrace]

We say, "We should do a load of laundry." It's the punchline to an old joke we heard years ago.

This puts a new spin on the song Love And Laundry from Point of Grace,

Chorus
Oh I wish that there were more than
24 hours in a day
I haven't found it yet but there's gotta be a way
And I keep praying that
I can get everything done
And still have time for love
And a load of laundry


Now I'm not sure I can hear the song and still think of it the same way.

If you are really subtle and are careful with body language or reactions, you can have codes you use around the children or your parents. When my wife and I first got married, I straight up told me wife I wanted to have sex with her with my parents in the room, loud enough for them to hear. But I was speaking her language, which they don't understand, making sure it didn't sound like anything in English. It made her uncomfortable, but I was doing it partly to tease her a bit.

I think some women sometimes prefer a bit of subtlety, depending on their mood.
