[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have pretty vanilla sex, so I don't see a problem. If kid wakes up we would pause and get baby back to sleep.  All this said, we haven't had sex even in same room with kids.  But I don't think it is anywhere close to abuse.

I also believe that kids are sexual (I remember my sexual thoughts as young as 5 - no Freudian latent period for me) and protecting them from any participation in adult sexuality (because they can't consent and the power differential is huge) is different than protecting them from sexual knowledge.  In fact, I am pretty sure that I was [b]pedophile safe BECAUSE my parents were hippies and very comfortable with us knowing all about sex - no censorship at all.[/b]

I also, probably not coincidentally, had sex for the first time much later than my peers (22).[/quote]

Maybe you were pedophile safe for other reasons, but CSA happens to hippie parents' kids as well. Half of the women I met in a survivors group grew up in families where there was no shame about sex. It was all seen as very natural and good. So natural and good that many felt their abuse was unremarkable until they found out that not everyone had a family member or family friend doing that to them.

I wasn't a hippie kid, but my scientist mother made sure I knew the correct terms and mechanics from an early age. Still didn't protect me from a pedophile relative by marriage.[/quote]
