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?

HUH?

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

Yeah that's not "so much" info at all. Just one indication of their health.

Why exactly are you afraid of your teens hearing you?

I think it's rude. No teen wants to hear their parents having sex. None. Most adults don't want to hear people having sex either unless they're watching porn. If it's loud enough to be heard during the day, in normal circumstances, from other parts of the house, then I think it's appropriate to either quiet it down or put on some music.

I'm not one of the people freaking out that it is SO GROSS or anything. It's normal, and I don't think it should be kept a secret from the kids. But I don't think it's necessary to be so obvious as to make them uncomfortable, especially since we are talking about them going off during the day to have sex. It's already obvious what's going on.

No one here is saying to be as ridiculously loud, but what is the big deal if they hear a headboard squeak or a stray moan?

Why do you find it so upsetting or assume your teens will find it upsetting to know their parents have sex?

I remember being a teen, and when you're a teen EVERYTHING your parents do is upsetting and embarrassing.

I can't see how I could get into it, knowing we are so damn loud that my kids can hear it and, if they're a typical teen, are grossed out.

Contrary to what you might want to believe, teens are going to be grossed out, even if you live in a sex positive home.

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?

Not PP but you need some therapy. Seriously. Your reaction and the fact that you were so disturbed by the one time you heard your parents participating in a totally normal human behavior has left you with scars that remain today suggests you need help.

BTW I agree with the pp you attacked and I am female and have 4 kids the oldest being 16.

It's called controlling yourself until there is an appropriate time when kids won't hear. You aren't an animal.

My bedroom with the door closed is an appropriate time.

What do you tell your kids about where you're going, since OP is talking about during the day when the kids are just home, doing nothing apparently? BRB going to fuck?

Yes.
We're in our bedroom. If you walk in unannounced what you see is on you.

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.

AGREE. Show some respect.

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.

Ok but unless you live in a shack it is easy to have sex without your kids hearing or seeing, even if they know what is going on. Knowing is one thing and is fine. Hearing or seeing isn't appropriate.
