With all the gems that people post here, I wanted to ask a question. How many of you live with your parents and more importantly, how do you manage any intimacy with your significant other/spouse/pet (whatever floats your boat) with parents around?
My mom is visiting for 4 weeks and this is the first time I’ve run into this issue. It’s nerve wracking, like teenagers hiding from parents we are.

welcome to the concept of joint family.
4 weeks is quite a short time. you should enjoy this time with your mom and aaah you will enjoy whatever minutes of intimacy you will get. Khatroon k khilaree honey main bara maza aata hai ;)
Think of thousands of pakistanis who live in joint family system and be grateful it's just for a month. Some people have to live in that system for their whole lives!
Sheyn and Decent: That's the question, i know my situation is only a 4 week situation, but how DO people manage that live in a joint family system, specially in a smaller house.

Well they learn. Its a slow learning process and cant be learned overnight ..not in 4 weeks definitely :)
Decent, i suppose they learn, but I guess there have to be logistical concerns. For instance, what if you don't have a bathroom attached to your bedroom, that's a HUGE problem. Creaking beds HAHAHAHAH, can be a huge problem. I'm so glad I don't live in a joint family system.
The other perspective is that of the parents. I wonder how many parents even consider this aspect of their childrens' lives, do they realize what is going on? I know too many people who complain that the parents are too intrusive and don't 'get it' that sometimes the husband and wife need alone time.
To tell you the truth when I said that, I was thinking about the houses in the west-- small--made of wood.
If you ask me I would have been totally ok with my parents in the house.
Even them eating lunch and me sneaking some where around the house would be ok.
But with the girls parents... I would not be able to that... dude kisi ki beti sy esa salok??

I lived for a year with my parents in law and never realized that they knew about us until the day I went to see my doctor along with my MIL, the doctor asked me few questioned which I answered and when she asked "when did you have sex last time" my MIL quickly replied "Last night".
Believe me that was the most embarrassing moment in my life.
