>> There's nothing against being nude in front of your kids but I
>> think there should NEVER be ANY sexual activities in front of them.

>Ah, teaching the kids that nudity is okay, but sex is dirty.

There is a big response to my posting (first two lines). Besides the two
answers here on the notesfile I also got lots of mail. So after having
answered the first I think I should give a public answer. (We probably
should write a new basic note)

To make it short: Nudity is okay and sex is okay. But there is a difference
in your behaviour independent of the both words. I think it is normal to put
off my clothes if the temperature is high enough (I don't like air
condition) but it is not normal to put off the clothes if you think you
*should* show your kids the genitals (BTW my children are 3 and 5). I think
it is normal if you make love with your wife and the kids come in by
coincidence but it is not normal if you start sexual activities just to show
your kids how to arouse, move, etc. Is it now clear what I meant??

On the other hand the children should have the possibility to find out that
the parents love each other and that they love their kids. One way to
express this is as far as I know to kiss each other (at least in our society)
but you cannot conclude that this leads to fellatio in front of your kids.
And that is what I meant when I said

>> I think there should NEVER be ANY sexual activities in front of your kids.

I'm looking forward to your answers at least as long as I can participate in
the net (because I have to go back to Germany soon).
