Do you think having sex on the same bed while 13mo child is sleeping consider child abused?

That and perhaps you cannot read but its in the same bed.

Makes no difference. You are an idiot and need to learn what real child abuse is so you can tell the difference.

I'm not that pp but I agree. Same bed, yes.

Why can't you just go have sex on the couch, kitchen counter or in the baby's room? Or at least have sex under the covers?

FWIW I remember my grandparents having sex when I went on vacation with them. They were under the covers and nothing obnoxious. I didn't look either. Looking back, I think fondly about it in a non creepy way that I was happy my grandparents still loved each other.

What kind of sick freaks could get turned on when your young baby is sleeping right next to the pound zone.

I'm also a mandated reporter, for the county I live in as well as the county north of where I live. I don't think either of the hotlines I call would end up taking a formal report for this. I'm not saying it's not "weird", hey I couldn't even get in the mood with my dog in the room, but that doesn't mean it's illegal.

"indecent exposure of the genitals to a child"

To the PPs who believe that having sex in the same bed/room as your child (not to mention, while the child is sleeping) qualifies as "indecent exposure of the genitals to a child"- does this mean you also believe it's CSA to walk around the home naked (even if just to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom)? or bathe with a child? I'm honestly wondering, not trying to imply anything.

"displaying pornography to a child"

Wondering, does anyone believe having live sex in front of a child constitutes "displaying porn to a child"? Again, I think I'd feel uncomfortable but I don't believe it's abuse nor do I believe the county would make a report or actively investigate this. This topic came up because of co-sleeping, correct? We're not talking about a couple who built a stage in their living room to have sex on with their kids as the audience.

What is the difference in children watching adults have sex live in front of them and watching adults have sex on TV?

This made me LOL.

This is what it boils down to for me too. It's not child abuse, but I personally would not be able to relax and enjoy under those circumstances.

Dude.

Super, super weird.

PP here. Again, my post is in response to the subject of a couple having sex in a bed that their young child is SLEEPING in (or with a child sleeping in a bed in the same room). If the child were to see the parents having sex it would be because the child woke during the night, not because the child was already awake and watching the act (this would be weird in my opinion, on the parents part).

First, I have no problem with people being naked in front of their children, etc.

However, why in the hell would ANYONE think this is appropriate behavior for parents. I do not care if your child is a newborn or 10 years old, its completely inappropriate.

I actually think the other woman was bragging about it. Like it was cool they did this. Exposing a child to a sexual act whether you are their parents or not is child abuse and I am horrified that I even stooped to the level of having to type this.

All time low for DCUM on this one.

And to the OP- obviously you know there is something wrong with this because you started a thread about it. Had I just been some "crazy lady" you would not think twice about this huh?

Anyone who can justify this is horrible. I am no prude and my sex life is perfect but I have no need to risk any exposure of it to my kids.

I agree with you. This is very disturbing

I agree. I don't think it's ideal and that adults should be a discreet as possible, but the reality is that having ones private room to have sex in is the exception not the norm in most of the world. I am not saying it's ideal, but it's no sociopathic either.

+2 to this.

"I do not care if your child is a newborn or 10 years old, its completely inappropriate."

It must be lovely to live in such a black and white world. By your logic a movie that is rated PG-13 is ALWAYS inappropriate, regardless of the age of the child. The difference between having an infant sleeping next to you and having a 10-year old in the room is significant.

If the baby wakes up and sees mommy and daddy doing something under the covers in the dark, (a) the baby has no comprehension of what she's seeing, and (b) the baby has no real ability to form any memories about it. A 10-year old is completely different developmentally.

Obviously you're not going to have screaming, ride-em-cowgirl, kinda sex while a baby is sleeping, but having sex in a way that doesn't disturb the child is absolutely fine. The kid is sleeping and even if a 13-month old does wake up, you can stop what you're doing, comfort the baby until she goes back to sleep, and resume bonking, assuming the interruption hasn't killed the mood.

For someone who claims you're no prude, you sure come across as having a pretty repressed attitude, and using words like "Anyone who can justify this is horrible," tells me you've got some issues when it comes to sex.

This is my last post. You thinking there is nothing wrong with this says a lot more about you than me. But nice trying to deflect the disgusting behavior. And who calls it "bonking." Oh yes- the trash that believes it acceptable to do this.

I think a hotline is probably going to look at the overall situation. They might be concerned about parents in a living space so small that there are not enough sleeping areas for everyone to have a private space. They might be concerned about parents cosleeping at all. I think the hotline would be concerned about the story where a woman has incestual sex while her older children watch TV in the same room. But I don't think that they will be as concerned about a couple having sex in the same room as their child, or even the same bed as their sleeping child.

Also, for what it's worth, in order to display genitals OR pornography to a child, the child has to actually be awake. The poster who related the original story states pretty clearly that her child was asleep at the time. I've fooled around with my husband when we all shared a bed on vacation. We didn't have sex, but that was primary because it's pretty hard to get in the mood when your baby is snoring next to you. Was the making out sex abuse too, PPs?

For those of you who think it is natural to have a family sex bed - is there any age where it wouldn't be appropriate any more for your kids to be in bed with you while you have sex?

If your kids came home from your ex and said they slept in his bed with him, and he had sex that they woke up and heard/watched - would you be fine with that. Just part of being a family?
