I also find it interesting that the ones who have sex everyday- especially in the shower or in the morning, and have little kids- aren't being interrupted all the time. For example, I know my three year old has a sixth sense as to when I am awake in the mornings, and she often wakes up if I am awake. Not saying its impossible, I just have a hard time imagining that. Or if you have teenagers who don't go to bed until 10 and you are having sex every night, don't they hear you/know what you are doing especially if you are doing it like clockwork?

Why do you care if your teens know/hear you?

For those afraid of being interrupted, you should just tell the kids "there will be mommy-and-daddy time so if you find the door locked you should just go downstairs or back to your room and we will find you in a little while and join your fun.

I don't have teens yet, so I wouldn't know really. But I imagine I would feel awkward and my kids would feel awkward. I have a few memories of knowing/hearing my parents and it just completely grossed me out. Then again, I plan on raising my kids with positive sex education from the start, which my parents absolutely did not.

You feel awkward to the point of not wanting to have regular sex? Does.not.compute.

No, I would LOVE to have more regular sex. All I am saying is I have a hard time imagining the logistics of everyday sex when you have children.

We've done it in the shower over the years. We just lock the door. Sometimes we take a "nap" for 30min with the door locked.

When my kids are teens (my oldest is 9 so he's certainly not clueless) I'm not going to moan and scream, but I don't see anything wrong with them knowing we have sex. It's what healthy married people do. Maybe the problem with some of you is that you were taught that sex was dirty or gross. I hope my kids grow up knowing we loved each other and we're physical. I think it is strange to act like sex is something to hide. Maybe because I see sex as a positive activitiy is why I enjoy doing it frequently.

A common excuse for lack of intimacy. Shame on you.

Children aren't the end of your life. Like everything else important, you find a way to do it.

Knowing is different than hearing. It's rude to subject your teens to your amorous sounds. Come on.

I'd rather have slightly less frequent uninhibited sex than more frequent sex with others nearby.

10:00 pm, 3:00 am, 6:00/7:00 am

Just pick a time and go for it. We sometimes try for all three, but that's exhausting.

Then perhaps we shouldn't get married.

Chuckle. We're lucky we have a big enough house that we can be in our bedroom and the kids can be elsewhere in the house and not hear us even if they happen to be awake.
