Reply #59: Mike, I'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong.

As someone else pointed out above, you wouldn't teach your kids about street safety by jumping out in front of a bus or car.

There are some things that should always be private, and sex is one of them. Sure, there's nothing wrong with a small amount of PDA's or holding hands or hugging or things like that in front of kids, not at all. But NOT sex! That's a line that just shouldn't be crossed.

I'll never forget the one time I walked in on my parents, it was during the daytime and they'd forgotten to lock the door. I think I was around eleven or so. I don't think any of us had ever been so embarrassed before or since. Believe me, I did not learn about love, affection and sex, I assure you, it was nothing but pure embarrassment. I think that we instinctively consider sex private, and that's the way it should be.
