Parents' Sexuality

[Atonement]

Right, so this isn't really advice as much as it is just a discussion.

How do you view your parents' sexuality?

Now, make it clear now, no, not the preference of sexuality, rather the idea of them being sexaul beings.

Personally, I recognize my parents' sexual drive and have no problem with it. Hell, its how I was made. I think its sad when parents get married and have kids then neglect their relationship as lovers. Now, sexuality in front of me, HELL NO. But, the idea of my parents having sex is by no means revolting. Images, yeah, pretty gross. But I would never expect my parents to stop having sex.

What do you guys think?

My parents are separated. Anyone who's parents are still together and in a loving relationship is lucky, and part of that loving relationship will be sex.

[ShatteredWings]

I just wish they'd stop doing it while they KNOW I'm awake... The walls are too thin.

So, they are separated, but if they date, would you find that weird? Beyond the idea of a "new dad" which can hinder people, would you have a problem of your mom or dad having sex with someone. I don't understand why its a bizarre concept for people.

I find nothing wrong with my parents sexual relationship, except for the fact that I know my dad's cheating. I worry about my mom getting STDs.

I live with my dad actually. I know my mum has a sex life, that was the problem. Dad never really goes out on his own so it doesnt seem likely, but he deserves to have someone and to be happy.

Well, my dad's...dead. And my mom's had a few boyfriends. Maybe two or three. And one girlfriend, who I loved.

But I don't think my mom's sexual activities are gross. I have a sex life, and so does she. It's a part of life. And not only that, it's her right.

Now, do I want to think or hear about having sex? Not really. She's my mother. I don't care how hot my friends say she is. :P

I don't find it a revolting concept so much a squirmish one. I agree with you - I know how I was conceived and I realize they're humans with sex drives just like anyone else. I would hope they take care of that aspect of their relationship.

I think where people get revolted by the idea is the connection of the 'idea' of parents having a sexual life and the actual images and thoughts of them carrying them out. Parents (especially maternal figures) are meant to be nurturing, 'pure' and nonsexual beings - that's how we've seen them our whole life. To think of them otherwise is uncomfortable for many.

This.


My parents, even though that absolutly hate each other, they'll still have sex at the most innapropriate times, where it's usually when my brother goes out. Now me, being 14 I'm not allowed out at that time, so.. I hear everything. The damn Walls are thin >.<. what doesn't help, is they do it at like 11-3 somewhere between them times, and they know I'll be up. Insomnia and all.

Of course I have nothing against them having "sexual activities" but because my dad has affairs, I wonder if my mum will get anything. Although..I do know they use condoms, (freaky accident I walked in on them) so I guess, at least they're safe, right?

[Zero Beat]

I dont want to hear about it, see it happen, or anything. I know they do it, and like doing it. It makes me shiver thinking about them doing it.

[The Dark Lord]

Its only natural that parents have a sex life- I'd be more concerned if they didn't

[Kaius]

Well, i know for sure my parents have an active..'healthy' sex life >.< I've walked in on them doing some things no one ever wants to even imagine their parents doing, when i was about 8. But yeah.. agreeing with most of the people here..we all need thicker walls.. Or quieter parents.

People are sexual well into their old age,
When I say old, I mean old,
Not middle aged :P
I don't have any issues with that.
Humans are sexual beings after all,
Whether you can reproduce or not.

My mum is remarried,
And my dad has a girlfriend.

It doesn't faze that they're sexual,
Hell, if they weren't sexual, I'd be suspecting something.
Having a healthy sexual relationship is good for your relationship as a whole,
It gives you a chance to be close and intimate with them.

no my parents argue a lot and they just argued recently. more like my mom yelling, but my mom does not love my dad or at least they never show affection. ever.

That was my parents as well, but I walked in on them once when I was 8. Needless to say, I was more surprised than anything else.

Nowadays, my mother is extremely open with me on the topic of sex and sexuality - well, not fully of course, but enough to seem like it to most people - so most of what little discomfort existed in the beginning is pretty much gone by now. I don't understand what the big deal with all of this is, either. One's parents are no different than the vast majority of other humans roaming the earth out there. As for expectations of purity, I've given up on trying to find that ideal in human beings way too long ago.

[MaliciousBunface]

Lawl I think my parents do, I have no problems, but I kinda find noises and stuff like that a bit..yuk...also I feel sorry for most of the people above whose parents are split up, or don't love each other..

[Mattasaur94]

My room is like, right next to my parent's... on the other side of the hallways, opposite thier room, actually...
I kind of -know- they have a sex life... Unfortunately enough.
Hell, some morings are scary when it'll be like, 11am and my mum will ask me to go get something from her room and there are hand cuffs on the bed post? NOT COOL!
>_< Other than that, my family is pretty... open... about sex and things along that topic... I don't overly enjoy talking to my parents about my sex life, they think I'm gay...
But yea, my parents are relatively... content... with thier sex-life, I'm fine with it, I just don't want to hear, see or think about it. ^_^

as far as I know I can never imagine my parents doing ... you know what (and I don't like to think about it and I never saw them doing it >_< ew). I am not comfortable talking about sex and all that with my mom
