Sorry for a challenging and maybe weird question.
It is something my parents engaged in a lot while I was growing up (presumably unknowingly), and it’s also a recurring point of discussion online, wherever I go.
On the internet, most people seem to regard it as very traumatic, though my own experience of it wasn’t. It was more just something that happened, and most of the time I’d be sleeping through it anyway. I also feel that any potential trauma here is mitigated by raising your child with a generally healthy knowledge of sexuality.
A common comment on the topic is that people can “just do it quietly,” but I’m inclined to think that some people do need to react very loudly to sexual stimulation.
Interested to hear what everyone else’s experiences, or views on the matter, are. EDIT: If the question interests you, here’s a guardian advice column post with extensive comments on the matter: “I can’t climax quietly and I’m worried my teenage kids will hear me.”
That’s part of it, but for the sex portion we do put sex on a pedestal, from both directions. It’s not a hill I’m willing to die on yet, but the gist of the opinion is that people tend to either demonize sex as this inherently corrupting force, or sanctify it into this uniquely sacred thing. Reality’s a lot more messy, and I think both positions are wrong
