Young children could mistake love making for fighting and sounds of pleasure for cries for help, according to child psychologists!
As more and more moms & dads choose to share their bed with their babies, they’re faced with a tricky decision — is it safe to have sex while your kids are asleep next to you?The answer is a resounding “NO”, say experts.
Child psychologist Dr. Gary Gelber warns the San Francisco Chronicle, “Children can misinterpret the sounds. Based on the sounds, children can think that the parents are actually hurting each other.”
Pediatrician and mom-of-three Dr. Lisa Dana agrees: “It does not seem appropriate to have sex in the family bed while a child is sleeping. I think parents and children are best served when they are more discreet about this healthy adult behavior.”
What do you think, HollyMoms? Did you ever sneak a sex session while your little one was sleeping in the same room — or do you think it’s totally inappropriate?

That is an absurd argument, the children can hear sex with the doors closed so no different exists.
My partner has children, so sometimes it happens, she is a very sexual person and so am I. The kid is only 6, and is asleep, so no big deal. When he gets a bit older, things will have to change, but for now, its not really that big of an issue.
Next time, “doctor”, come up with a more relevant theory. At ten, like one person commented, ok that is a bit strange, But a child that is like 4 to 6? No big deal.
