NSFW Give your opinion on sex etiquette while visiting family?

Asked by Facade (22937points) March 24th, 2011

What are your rules about sex when traveling with your SO to visit family?
Do you just abstain, or do you go for it?
Does it matter where you’re staying (with family vs. hotel)?
Are there certain things you do or don’t do?

Do tell.

We’d just do it quietly at night. Silent sex sucks, but it’s better than nothing.

Facade's avatar

@Blackberry I don’t see how people, especially women, can do it quietly, but good for you for perfecting it!

We usually just go at it like loud, obnoxious rabbits. Removing all doubt.

With family: Sex is a no at their home…Period!
Visiting Family but at a Hotel: No different than if we were at a hotel for other reason…Sex On!

erichw1504's avatar

@SpatzieLover just invented a new phrase: “Sex on!”

So, what are you waiting for? Sex on, people!

Facade's avatar

Sex on!!

We always do it, forget obstacles.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir @erichw1504 @Blackberry So y’all have sex no matter what. Do you find that you’re more aroused when you do, perhaps because of the sense of naughtiness? =)

I don’t think it’s proper to do it when staying with family, at least for a short visit. If the urge comes on you, though, do it, but quietly, please.

Hmmmm….No hanging from the chandeliers,no howling and no rubber chickens.Ever

@Facade Nah, just feel more bothered having to be quiet.

JustJessica's avatar

I say go for it, the added “we have to be quiet” factor adds to the fun. It seems to me when we have to be quiet my partner always tries extra hard to get me to make noise.

Go at it like quiet rabid ponies. You don’t win any points for not having sex.

If you feel like it and can get away with it without making too much noise then go for it I know I would. And if I were at a hotel then the skies the limit at a hotel, I figure if I am paying to stay at a place then I can do as I please in regards to sex.

After having to listen to my visiting sister going at it with her hubby, I would never to that under the same roof of family ever again! That was very weird….weird-weird.

Jude's avatar

We get down on the floor (bed is too squeaky), I tell her to be quiet (doesn’t always work), or we go for a drive (out into the country) and get it on like bunch of Daisy Dukes.

ucme's avatar

I bang on the wall thanking my mum for telling me how to do it right. I’m a good boy I am. Oh & let her know to pop the kettle on when i’m almost done. Choking for a cup of coffee afterwards, thirsty work you know.

deni's avatar

Anything goes as long as we’re in the room alone. You just be quiet(er).

cak's avatar

No. Just no. His mother’s house is too small and very thin walls. You can sense and she says “bless you!” His father is too much of a perv for me to even want to have sex at his house.

Hotel – woohoo!

MissAnthrope's avatar

Uh…. if you’re staying at my house, please keep your sexin’ noises to yourself. Gross.

The only time I wouldn’t have sex at a family member’s house would be if the walls were super thin, which has happened before and it was a bummer because we were visiting for a week. But, you know, it gives you an excuse to get adventurous and/or creative. It can be kind of hot knowing you have to be quiet and while I do prefer noise, I can definitely get off by aroused breathing and soft moans and such.

erichw1504's avatar

Alright, sooo… I’ll be back in a little bit…

Jude's avatar

The tenant’s bedroom (next to mine) and my bedroom are butted up against each other (we live in one bigass Victorian home with 4 separate apartments). Anyhow, he’s a young buck and when he first moved in, I could hear him and his lady loud and clear from 3 to 5 in the a.m. most nights. I am thinking, this is bullshit, I can’t get any sleep.

Then, my girlfriend started staying over on weekends. And, guess what? It’s a fucking free-for-all. No holding back (on our part); headboard slamming against the wall, moans, screams and a squeaky bed. Plus, explicit pillow talk.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

No sex in their house – but if we’re staying for more than a couple days, there’s no reason we can go find somewhere outside the house to do it. I don’t do it in their house, because I don’t want them doing it in mine (we already have enough issues, thank you, we don’t need more).

Blackberry's avatar

@Facade Yep. There’s a lot of slow, deep, concentrated thrusts lol.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

My mother lives with us so we are quieter than we’d like to be and skirt her inquiries as to why we have our bed on the floor rather than on a frame or rack.

augustlan's avatar

At a hotel? Anything goes. Anything.

At their house? Quietly and neatly, or not at all.

6rant6's avatar

I think in deference to the family, you should restrict sex to the bedroom. or possibly the pool.

I think holding the volume down can be good for a laugh now and then. I mean you wouldn’t keep your neighbor awake with the TV would you?

filmfann's avatar

When we are staying with friends or family, we abstain, unless it is too difficult, and then we have to be quiet.
And my wife is not good at that.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@filmfann I know this is really wrong, but I wonder what deaf people sound like in sex – how much does hearing sex sounds influence how we make sex sounds?

filmfann's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs She sounds like an air raid siren.

cak's avatar

@filmfann: FTW! I wish I could give you more lurve for that response.

OpryLeigh's avatar

We just make sure we are quieter than usual. We certainly wouldn’t abstain unless we were sharing a room with someone else (which thankfully has never happened yet).
