how much intimacy do you and your spouse show in front of your kids?

[iara]

to what extent do you show intimacy with your spouse in front of your children? i wonder if it's healthy for kids to see their parents engage in very intimate acts since i recently read a book (though it was fiction) that psychological trauma can result when a child sees his parents in the act of making love.

also, do you explain to them that intimacy should be within the confines of marriage or do you assume that your kids already know that?

our little boy is two years and two months. the furthest we go with intimacy is kissing and hugging and cuddling. he loves joining in hugs with us a lot. he likes it when he sees daddy kiss mommy and vise versa.

we've never gone as far as making love in the same room where he's in.

same w/ season,me and my hubby do those things in front of my son and he's almost 2 (20 months),and sometimes he love to join us thinking that we're playing,
about the trauma,I read some article about this girl found her parents doing "it" in the bedroom,and she feel scared bec she thought that daddy are doing something bad to mommy or he's hurting mommy,so the best advice is to keep your bedroom lock always even if you are in intimate moments or not ,para makasanayan nila na laging nakalock ang bedroom not only when you are doing "something".

we hug, we kiss, we cuddle.. but my kids don't like it. :( ayaw nila na may kaagaw sila kay mommy!! kaya pinapaghiwalay kami!!

i don't have kids... yet but i've never seen my parents kiss or anything. you have your traumatizing peek at their sex life probably once in a lifetime but other than that i never see them to anything nasty infront of me. my dad's makulit though if not sutil. i find it funny when he teases my mom.

We hug, kiss and tease each other in front of kids. saying "i love yous: often.

Sa family ng husband ko, hindi sila demonstrative sa pagpapakita ng affection. I grew up naman sa family na demostrative sa affection.

My husband noong una has difficulty in showing his affection.

my hubby and i didn't come from a demonstrative family. pero, we would hug and kiss each other in front of the kids. and we would always play around.

kaya feeling ko, good naman iyong effect nito because my daughter will always be the one to initiate a kiss especially pag aalis na siya. and she would always say - mommy/daddy, love-love (meaning hug). ganoon din tinuturo niya sa younger brother niya.

hay, sarap ng may mga batang anak. basta wag lang kukulit. hehe.

we would hug and kiss infront of him then we would both kiss him (he squirms when we do that)

Hugs and kisses lang. Pero never make love in front of him or making love na posibleng makita nya. Mahirap i-explain pag nakita nya eh. Aabot kami ng maghapon pagsagot ng mga tanung nya. Puro why eh....
