Non Clicky Poll: Have you ever "scheduled" sex?
This may sound like a ridiculous question but with our different work schedules, 2 kids to worry about and different times that we go to sleep at night (and once I am asleep he knows not to dare wake me up!)...we hardly ever get a time to have "our" time unless it's usually planned out in advance. Like okay....Wednesday I have a late meeting but Thursday I will be home on time...okay meet me upstairs at 9:30 after the kids are in bed...just to name an example. Of course it's not always that way but it just makes me wonder what others do. Discuss!! 
ETA: Aside from the usual TTC stuff where it's necessary!

Re: Non Clicky Poll: Have you ever "scheduled" sex?
no.
While it's true that it isn't spontaneous, it is exciting. Haven't you ever looked forward to something all day and then gotten very excited (no pun intended) when the time finally arrived?
I'm laughing thinking of people sending Outlook requests to each other.

Re: Bom chicka Bom Bom
my husband would love to get this from me - LMAO!
agreed. Its not like we put it in the iphone but after a week of travelling or a hectic morning, walking out the door one of us will say, "hey lets get it on tonight woot!" and kiss goodbye and both of us look forward to it all day. Its not 9:32, go upstairs, 9;34 close bedroom door, 9:36 disrobe.
And I think half the board who "tried" to get PG probably scheduled sex in some shape or form.
you probably get laid more than i do. sometimes i think 2x a week is fine and then i think "DH really has to talk to his boss about cutting back on his WFH night hours"
I'm laughing at the amount of time you scheduled ... 15 minutes. lol.
I also realize that I am taking the term 'scheduling' too literally.
Totally agree. We also have both kids sleeping in our room. Yes, I suck. So, we have to schedule it and meet in the guest room..lol. I'll text him when I'm putting the kids to bed to meet me in the office in 10 minutes..HA
When we were TTC, yes. And like Amy said, it was the most UNromantic and downright UNsexy time of our lives. We both hated it. And then we found out it was all for nothing anyway since we had IF.
Since then, no.
what they said!
Mine too!! LOL!!!! Although he would not like the 15 minute time constraint.
I should have edited my post to add "aside from TTC", etc.
Every time is not always a time that is scheduled in advance, but every now and then one of us will say "see you tonight, 9:30" or whatever....

yes, both for TTC and in general. it's not scheduled in the sense of we're going to bed at 9pm tomorrow night. It's more making sure that we plan evenings where we've cleared the other things on the schedule so that after we put A to bed, the entire evening isn't occupied w/ chores, schoolwork, working-from-home, etc. Being a part-time student while working full time definitely cramps my sex life! lol. It was always more of a checking what's on the evening's slate during the workday w/ each other, and sometimes suggesting that if a chore can wait, let's plan a date instead, or while we're working on stuff letting the other know that we'd like to "come to bed early" or the other is "welcome to interrrupt"...
Thank you for the laugh!!!
Not exactly...we have sent 'suggestive' texts/email eluding to something happening that evening..
Mangia! My Family Table
Haha, cute post. We don't set a time but we also ellude to something happening later such as me stating "You better be awake after you put Zach to sleep"
Certainly nothing romantic or that you see in movies. We are just too busy.
You will forever be my best friend. I can almost feel our hugs. I will ensure everyone will know (now and in the future) what a genuine, kind, loving person you were...I already miss your laughter and our daily conversations. I love you, Samantha. May 20, 1983- February 20, 2012
LOL! too funny!
ditto! and he'd probably think someone hacked my account. We've never scheduled it, but I agree that scheduling it could be exciting in it's own way.
