Did I get your attention? HA! So, after having a slight temp dip this morning and having tons of EWCM for the first time EVER! Tonight has got to be the night! I tried to catch DH last night and though he was willing to BD, he couldn't pull the trigger. I feel like that always happens when I need him to be able to go for it! Anyway, I need to spice things up a bit. We constantly have sex in the same position - me on top and that works for both of us usually. I have been talking about hanging our sex swing (purchased a Slumber Party several years ago and never used) and I'm thinking tonight's the night.
Now that you all think I am the kinkiest person you know, I will ask - has anyone hung one of these things before?

I can't advise you on how to put together the hardware, but follow the instructions-- you don't want to fall!
Once it's set up, designate some non-sexy time for him to help you get the seat and stirrups set at the right level. It's going to be awkward and funny, and it may be difficult to maintain "sexy time" attitude while all that's going on. Just say, help me get this set up, then we'll go figure out dinner, and come back to it tonight.
It can encourage some vigorous baby dancing. Make sure you have plenty of fertility-friendly lube.
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
Ha! Is that something you leave hung once it's installed? I picture it hanging in my bedroom, inadequately hidden by a ficus tree. And my mom and I standing there in awkward silence.

Seriously! I would fall out, bang my leg into the wall, or something equally unsexy - I'm way too much of a klutz to manage that. Good luck getting it hung safely (lol) and have tons of fun in it tonight!!
Ha! I love you guys and your support of my crazy! I am sad to say after spending that evening packing frantically for a very early flight to the Caribbean - I did not hang the swing. We did however, get it on! So fingers crossed!

Go for it and have fun!!! If only my DH and I had that kind of privacy, taking care of aging family in our home makes things very challenging. I would totally rock a swing if I could!
I'm looking to purchase a swing and remember one that was sold by Slumber Party. Would love to see a pic of yours and maybe a possible connection with someone I could purchase through. Thanks!!
