    Kepi your answer tickled me -- what do you think or ancestors did when all lived I a 1 room house with 5 kids? And some still live like that.

    I am not saying that I would have sex in front of kids -- but kids do open doors when they are not suppose to etc.
    A horrible thing to put a kid through? Jez Its two grownups LOVING each other -Illegal? I sure as hell hope the government is not that far into our bedrooms yet no matter how much the pat robertsons of the would wish it was so - Savage

    You did not say how young 2 month old? Or 4 years old.

    But as noted, in most US states it would be illegal to have sex in front of your young children, if social services were to find out, you would lose custody of your children.

    Are you serious??

    Isn't it enough that they'll grow up in an over-sexualized world?

    I know kids in the past saw sex, but you shouldn't ask your children to watch you do the dirty-dirty.

    What age are the kids?

    It is completely OK if you want to leave your kids with a complex that they will never recover from. I am talking about kids that are 4,5,6 years old in age, up to middle teens, a time in their lives when they think that parents are perfect.
    Remember back to the time when you were young and you found out that one of your friends parents were having sex and you knew that that was something that your parents would never do. But when you did finally discover that they did you were so disappointed in them.
    I bet there are still some of you that have doubts about your parents ever having sex except the once when you were conceived, and maybe again if you have siblings.

    I don't think it's wrong or bad that children are aware that their parents have an adult relationship, but I don't think it's something you should invite them into watching. I have no objection to kids being exposed to hugging, kissing, a little squeeze, etc. but I think the adult stuff should remain being the 'adult' stuff.

    Obviously a very, very young child, let's say under 2, would have no idea what they were seeing, but older children could mimic the act, which may well get them, and you, in a lot of trouble.

    In addition, if the adults aren't married or in a long term common law relationship, I question the values you could be imprinting upon your children.

    Kepi, I don't think pink4life intends to have sex FOR her children to view, but more like in the same room, perhaps out of convience (as in thesavage's response). Well that's how I interpreted it anyway

    I remember when I was 9 or 10 years old my parents had sex in their room while I was in it. They thought I was sleeping, but I wasn't and was too ashamed to let them know I was awake. So I had to listen to it all.. the next morning I felt like my image of them was tarnished. I'm not sure why, and the fact that they acted completely normal made me even more confused. I soon got over it though :)

    And I *think* I grew up OK hehe

    Like everyone else has said... it depends on the age of the child. One time baily accidentally walked in on me and my husband and thought that my husband was hurting me. We just told him that mommy and daddy are play wresting. If they are young and it Accidentally happens then its not too bad... if you are having sex in front of your child on purpose then that is wrong. Because I know if I am turned on and my son comes around I automatically turn off. Nothing like drool and a messy diaper to ruin the mood lol.

    If they were old enough to walk I'd say no.

    If they're old enough to ask for the car keys so you can have privacy... then well that's just sick.

    Well if they are able to talk and ask what you are doing then obviously you shouldn't be doing it. Before they are talking there is no problem. Nobody remembers that far back anyway, nor can they understand what you are doing. Hell you breast feed at that age.
