Sex with teens around.

What's the big deal if they hear? Oh no they might discover mom and dad are in love and like expressing that physically! The horror!

Keep the noise level respectful i.e. No monkey calling.

Close the door. They are old enough to knock and if they don't that will be a lesson to them.

Book a weekend away for monkey times.
The end.

You are disgusting. I'm an adult and I heard my parents once. I wish I didn't. That is not a memory I want.
Have some respect.

Are you male or female? How old are your kids?

I think it was fine. It actually let me know that sex is a natural part of a strong marriage. My parents are now in their early 80's and still have sex. Good for them!

How do you know so much about your parent's sex life?

Silent as the grave. Turn on the shower or tv or fan or all, just to make sure they don't hear the little sounds.

In addition, get a nearby hotel, regularly schedule date night there. Once a week/once a month. Whatever. Join their rewards program!! (Or the booking website's rewards.)

NP says quite a strong word choice.

Sex is a normal part of marriage. Unless you live in a tiny space, surely they can be in another part of the house doing something else. Get a white noise machine and put it just inside your door. Muffle the orgasms with a pillow, biting, whatever. Works for us.

Right, it's much better to make your kids think that sex is only for procreation and once you have kids the only physical affection is a peck on the cheek. Freak.

NP. You're all about the TMI, huh?

Maybe your children don't WANT to hear you? It has nothing to do with thinking sex is only about procreation and everything to do with courtesy.

Yes, teens are grossed about by their parents having sex. Show them some respect.

Are you sure you're 42? I don't believe you.

Do they come into your room unannounced?

I would lock the door and put on some music or the TV. If you're talking about screaming loudly, well - get up early for that.

Agree. This is what we did when we had a noisy headboard. My kids may not have heard or known what was going on but I couldn't get in the mood. Floor - problem solved.

I think PP means knowing that they're still having sex in their 80s.

Do morning sex.

Yeah, duh.

DW wants nothing to do with sex if kids could hear or walk in on us. Has practically killed all home sex. Only times now are if both kids go to sleepovers.

It's our house and our marriage. Children do not define us. Adults have sex. I'm not giving up sex with my spouse because we have teenagers. It is such an important part of a healthy marriage and a healthy life. If the door is closed, don't walk in. We give them the same privacy. We also have healthy conversations about sex and relationships. I'm so glad my children are not growing up repressed and heading towards dysfunctional adult relationships and they will know to stay away from people like you.
