If you're in the mood, do you and your SO get busy, even when you may have houseguests overnight?
This never phased me, but apparently DH is on the other side of the coin--houseguests mean we are to behave as if we are virginal, LOL.
Wondering how others feel about this!

Just have to reply that your options in the poll made me really laugh out loud. Then DH came and read it over my shoulder and he was laughing but now is hinting heavily towards some action, lol!! Thanks.

We just bought a new house with more bedrooms than we currently have, so we have choices in location. The largest bedroom is next to ours, and I think that is the logical choice for the guest room, and my DH keeps commenting, but it is right next to ours!

I depends on the houseguests. If we had other adults out in the living room I might feel ok about it. When my kids have a friends spending the night I would HATE for them to hear something and embarrass the heck out of my child or their friend.

I'm fine with it. Our guest room is about as far away from ours as it could be - different level and opposite side. You can't hear a thing. In our old house, the guest room was right next to our room. No way in that situation.
Another question: What if you are a guest in someone else's house and the mood strikes? I let that mood pass! Totally outside my comfort zone.

Depends how good their hearing is! My parents probably wouldn't notice

That one is easy. I'm never in the mood when we have house guests. I'm usually too tired for it. A lot of times, I wait til everyone is in bed to finishe tidying up, prepping food for the next day, and doing all the other behind-the-scenes work that needs to get done. I don't usually do that when are guests are still up because then I'm visiting with them. So it really has nothing to do with privacy.
Once all all the guests leave though, when we can all relax and let go, that is when the mood hits.

when we used to have sex, we would be like bunnies when we were the guest, more reserved when we had people over. Now, we don't when we have guests and, apparently, my DD qualifies as a guest
