My son walked in on me and my wife having sex. We were partaking in the style of the dog with our backs to the door. Suddenly, in a moment of comedic brilliance that he may never fully understand, my son burst into the room exclaiming “What’s going on in here?!”
Thinking back, I was shielding my wife from view with only my backside revealed to him and I could have stayed there. However, in a moment of panic, I did what can only be described as a flying erection semi-cartwheel off the far side of the bed where I crashed to the floor while my wife covered up.
My son left, and we all went to sleep without any conversation. He’s still sleeping, and I don’t know the best way to handle this. We haven’t had “the talk” with him yet, but I’m not sure I want him to associate sex with my hard acrobatics.
What is the best way to handle this issue?
Update: I really appreciate all of the productive comments. He woke up and the first thing out of his mouth was "Daddy, I have a question." I thought "Here we go."
His question: "Who do you think would win, two people throwing chickens, or a ballistic cannon that shoots spears." I don't think he's scarred. We're planning on gathering information and discussing age-appropriate details with him this weekend with no mention of his walking in. If he connects the dots, we'll address that.
As for the non-productive comments, there are some weird opinions regarding sex. One person said this should be illegal. I mean, we didn't keep going with him present. My gymnastic routine put an end to that real quick. Another suggested that I am a terrible father and my wife is a "ho." I feel like this is misdirected anger and hope you get the help you need.
