Did your parents have sex around you as a child?

And if so, what (if any) effect has it had on you?

Is it weird/confusing/traumatic for children, or does it provide a healthier and more realistic model of sexuality than pornography and school-based sex education?

    My parents encouraged destigmatization of nudity (nudist beaches, a shower or two together, etc.), but no they did not have sex around me or my siblings and think that’d be fucked up if someone told me their parents did that to them.

      I can’t even think of how someone would have “sex in front of their kids”. Sure, sex when kids are say in the next room, or in the same house seems harmless enough.

      I imagine that OP meant a scenario like, “hey kids, don’t come in our room without knocking, because we’re going to have sex” instead of “this is how you give a BJ. Let me demonstrate on ur dad. Watch n learn bitch”. If they meant the latter, then… uhhh yeah that’s fucked up.
