It is all too easy to leave sex to the evenings. After all, that’s when you and your
partner fall into bed together. It is natural enough for sex to follow on in the
comfortable, welcoming space of your bed.
The problem is that bedtime sex may also be late evening sex. At the end of a long,
tiring day. When you don’t really have the energy or enthusiasm to get physical.
Even more so when your work role involves looking after others. Either in the scope
of an ordinary job, or as a parent. When you’ve spent your whole day seeing to the
needs of others, the last thing in the world you want is to see to the needs of your
lover. It’s just another job! You’re tired and you want your sleep more than you
want sex.
And that’s when sex drives, and sex lives, start to fade away.
If you have a short commute to work or – even better – work from home, there is an
answer: the lunchtime fuck. Catch your lover before their energy starts to wane.
Stick a DVD in the player for the kids, or time your lunchbreak to match their nap.
Have a passionate quickie. Bend them over the kitchen table, lift them onto the bench,
drag them down on the carpet by the front door.
Play at being the teenager: horny as hell and anxious not to get busted doing
something you shouldn’t. Or the romantic, overcome with lust at the thought of your
beloved, who can’t wait a moment more to take off their clothes.
If the trip back from work is just impossible on a weekday, save yourself for the
weekends. Pick any day of the week that works with your schedule. The essence of
the lunchtime fuck is to interrupt your own habit, the habit that says you must be
lying in bed before you think of sex.
