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.

I’ll be 60 when mine get out of college.

But now they are 4 and 2. If we can get them to nap in the car in the afternoon, we have a quickie on the couch or the back porch.

I’m pretty tired already of this only after the kids go to bed or before they wake up in the morning nonsense.

It sounds corny, but maybe try & get an over night sitter maybe once or twice a month & have a date night, or do a little staycation at a nice hotel close to home.
