#atozchallenge - XXX

Apparently X is one of the harder letters to come up with a post for during the A to Z Challenge. Funnily enough it was about the third or fourth one I came up with when I was planning my posts for the challenge. I suppose that probably says something about the sort of person I am.

X just has to be for XXX! That’s what it takes to make a baby.

It’s a little bit funny considering what a grown up and responsible thing it is to decide to start a family, but lots of people on trying to conceive forums don’t like to use the word sex. DtD is a popular acronym, standing for Do the Deed; I’ll admit, I regularly talk about ‘doing the deed’ when the topic of sex comes up in conversation but that’s only when my personal favourite synonym ‘bumping uglies’ wouldn’t be considered socially acceptable.

Probably the worst synonym for sex that I’ve seen online is ‘baby dance’. It’s a verb; I baby dance, you baby dance, they all baby dance. It’s just so twee and kind of immature. Plus it conjures up all sorts of weird images in my mind, particularly when someone posts online ‘my hubby took me for a meal then we baby danced’. I like to think that the baby dance is something like walking like an Egyptian…

Perhaps that’s why I’ve not got pregnant yet, we’re obviously doing the baby dance wrong!

And on that note, I’ll get my coat, not because I’m embarrassed by this topic, but because it’s my birthday and I’m off to celebrate.





No! Not like that.
