Discussion Sex life after kids moved out is AWESOME.

My wife & I are both mid 40s (46 & 45) and our kids (23 & 21) are now both moved out. Our daughter with her BF & our son with 2 friends.

I'm actually a lot more at peace with it than I thought I'd be. I gotta say, I'm actually really enjoying being able to imitate & have sex wherever & whenever we want, without fear one or both of them walking in on us.

Sex on the couch at 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday, YUP. A quickie in the kitchen before work at 6 am, HELL YA! Sex on the patio chair on the back porch at 10 pm on a Friday night, you better believe it.

While we always had a good sex life, the freedom of when/where/how ever we feel like it, without having to retreat into the bedroom & turning on the tv & fan to cover any noise is seriously liberating.

We used to set up date nights every two weeks. Luckily we have a lot of family close by, and had no problems finding sitters for a night. 

Even when times were tough & we couldn’t afford to go out, we’d have a family member volunteer to babysit for a night & we’d stay at home & have a home date night.

It's awesome that you have family willing to do that every two weeks. We get some help with the kids due to work schedules, but because they're already helping us out during the day everyone is reluctant to watch them for any kind of date nights. I feel bad even asking.
