So yesterday I posted an entry that I ended up deleting like ten minutes after posting it, because the core of the post had to do with sex. My parents, and the rest of my family, don’t like the idea that I enjoy sex. I didn’t think that I still had to edit any of my journal entries that refer to sex because I’m assumed that my parents knew that I’m not a virgin. Apparently they don’t like it when I openly talk about my sex life because many of my aunts and uncles also read my journal so unfortunately I might be a little limited in what I write from now on as they have this “don’t mention sex around your family” idea. In a way I can understand their reasoning. I would not like to hear or read about my parents having sex. I like the idea that my sister, my brother, and I were delivered by storks, and I can only assume that they feel the same way about me. So maybe if there is a dirty entry I could just use a cut tag? “click here to read, unless I’m your daughter…”?How I'm feeling:  sore |

I friends-lock any entry that is related to sex or work.
Everything else is made public.

I strongly dislike the idea of locking a journal down to friends-only. I mean, I see the point and I understand why people do it, but I generally prefer the idea that anything I choose to put up is not somehow restricted only to people I've pre-approved to know about it. For me it's largely a matter of openness and honesty. But at the same time I realize the issues this raises.

I can't help being slightly amused that you find mentioning that you have sex at all to be "dirty" stuff. I think that is entirely normal - describing in detail what you did, that I would consider "dirty", or at least something I wouldn't want my family and co-workers to read should they stumble on my journal.

I don’t know what you’re reading Kat but I never said that I find mentioning that I had sex as being dirty.

Maybe I understood it wrong but I got it from:

Not sure how well the cut-tag would work...if your parents were anything like mine, they'd see it and immediately think "ooh, I bet this is good..."
Whether or not they regret it immediately is another matter.
And finally, I must have checked my friend’s link in the ten minutes between you writing it and then deleting… and if my memory is correct, amongst everything you said I recall reading that you don’t have time for sex? That's just sad. Your priorities must be completely wrong if that's happening.

Why is everybody picking on me today?

Dude, sex takes TIME! And I was talking about trying to have regular sex while I am working. Unlike you some of us need to work, and it's easier to work in right before bed because then you can go right to sleep, but that means you have to go to bed before you're so dead tired you don't feel like it, and that's tough for me. If you have it earlier, say, after work, then you've got the energy for it but pass out afterwards (at least I do). So if I have stuff to accomplish after work I can't really have sex. Put all those factors together, and if we're having a busy week there's no way it'll happen more than 2-3 times... I know there were many times while I’ve been in a steady relationship, even with (I won’t mention his name here) where we fell to once week. Sad but true.

I have never, ever understood the idea that the best time for having sex is just before going to sleep, but that’s another journal entry.
The biggest problem here seems to be that you're seemingly scheduling the "optimal" time for sex. Which is, well, creepy. It's like you have a goal of having sex daily or something and are just trying to work out the best times to fit it in.
As long as you're trying to find time and presuming sleep won't be too much of a problem sex in the morning (provided you wake up sometime other than the absolute last second) is always a good way to start the day.
Ultimately the most important thing is that you and your partner have matching sex drives. When one partner is up for it twice a day and the other can barely find the enthusiasm for once a week... well, someone is going to be pretty unhappy and that'll probably end up affecting both of you before too long.
