Yes I am not really understanding your not knowing. You will have to be more detailed in you question.

[louie1]

I cannot believe you are even considering this no no no!!

I don't think it is OK, but accidents do happen. I think its important to explain to a kid what was going on if they heard or saw anything. Just forgetting about it teaches your kid that it is a naughty and/or wicked thing to do. But explaining that it is a physical expression of love diffuses the situation and leads to trust. Besides, with all the moaning that goes on a kid might think someone is hurt and that should certainly be discussed.

To avoid repeat accidents, get better locks, be a heck of a lot more quiet, or better still, get a sitter and go to the hotel!

I think that you shouldn't be dropping your pants at any location with them running all about, but if they accidentally stumble in, it won't scar them. If they saw something on accident and are old enough to understand, Explain to them what was happening and why. I think the reason people are so confused about sexuality, and the reason children are so eager to experiment, is partially because the parents never sat them down and really told them about it. Sex Ed in school is crap, so its your job! Now I don't mean give them a private picture show or anything.. thats gross, but please clear it up for them if they happen in on you...

Michael Jackson actually claims that one of the things that screwed him up as a child was that his brothers had sex with fans while he was in the room and look how her turned out lol. An accident can't be helped can it. Its just the same as if an adult walks in, you just have to laugh it off. I don't think I could do it with my child around though, it's a bit wrong isn't it, especially if they are old enough to tell someone. My cousin lets her little girl (aged 2 ) sleep in her bed with them at night and I was like, surely that's going to kill your sex life and she agreed. She said they had to wait until she fell asleep, carry her to her own bed and then hurry to make sure they were finished before she woke up and wondered back in! Babies is different though.
As for your parents, I would love to believe my parents don't have sex but unfortuatly I know different because I walked in on them not so long ago. I have to say, I was disturbed!

AHHH!! Any way great use of Mike Jackson as an example. This is what could happen.

Is it ok to have sex in front of young children:)

No matter how old they are! It isn't right at any age. Children remember things as infants. Especially if its introduced to them and they've never seen it or continue to see it.

When I was young I walked by my parents bedroom door and saw my mom sitting straddle of my dad's stomach, My mom saw me so she came and explained what was going on. "she said that dad's stomach had been getting big so she was bouncing up and down on it to make it small again." Well I just had to tell her that it did not do any good because as soon as she left for work the neighbor lady from next door came over and blew him back up.

[Bluerose]

You do not deliberately have sex in front of children. But if a child should walk in on you the thing to do is act as natural as possible. If the child is only young they won't understand and will think you are just playing - no harm. If the child is older you could laugh it off make a joke of it.

[Matt3046]

Try locking the door.

[alkalineangel]

Hey now... kids are smarter than that... my son can jimmy just about anything... and he's 3. we have to wait until he is sound asleep and then shut both our doors... and sometimes put a chair in front of it... ;)

[NowWhat]

We lock the door. Even hearing our daughter get up to go to the bathroom stops us.
Or hearing "Mommy?" I am totally done.
I can not imagine doing it in the room - even when she was a baby.
I think if she walked in on us - I would be more scarred! Just knowing that I gave her that image!

[nwsflash]

I do not think it is good practice to be having sex in front of young children !

You need to add a little more as others have posted to your question for people to be able to give you any real answer.

[AKaeTrue]

I had to chuckle as I read the Savage's response...
But I'd have to say that I don't agree with having sex in front of children - no matter what situation it is.
Even at 2 years old, a child should not be viewing sexual relations of any sort...

Is it ok to have sex in front of young children:)

NO! Please don't... just please please don't.

[fix-what-you-broke]

No.
My son was sleeping one night when he was 6, a while passed and my partner and I started to do stuff... a few minutes later my son burst into the bedroom wondering what was going on. We dragged the duvet over us and partner quickly said that I was having a nightmare and he was trying to wake me up lol.
I wouldn't... no even I couldn't do it in the same room as him that's just wrong... you need to be an adult to have sex, so lets keep it that way and not drag the kids into an adult world.

I'm having difficulty reconciling the intensity of aversion people have for this with the fact that it was normal for thousands of years (igloos, teepees, caves, mud huts, etc.). Does this mean that everyone in the world until recently was messed up? Assuming they weren't, I would appreciate hearing ideas as to why not, given that they witnessed the "disgusting act" on a regular basis. :confused:
