Lovemaking, When Should Parents Stop Sex Before Children?


Dear Agatha,


On several occasions, I have wanted to ask this question, but one thing or the other kept me away from asking it. The issue has to do with my almost four-year-old son.

I want to know the age children can be sensitive, especially when dad and mum is making love. This bothers me a lot and I need a kind advice.

Worried Father.


Dear Worried Father,

There is no telling what children of these days know. The advanced information age we currently live in means they are exposed to a variety of information, including sex, which makes whatever daddy and mummy are doing behind closed door an open secret to them.

The best thing is for him to be moved into his room. At that age, his brain is already alert and able to tell what game daddy and mummy are playing. The full impact may not be discernable, but the idea of it is there for them to pick up at anytime they want to. At that age, a lot of children are able to relate images with actions and can tell the differences between the boy and the girl.

It is the age they ask questions and demand for answers which if they can’t get from their parents can get from their teachers, uncles, aunties or gossip about among their friends.

All they need is to see such an action on television or a billboard and it all comes back to them what they saw the previous night. And before you can stop them it is broadcasted to every interested ear.

In addition, it provides them with practical examples of what a man and woman do. In most cases, the memory is carefully stored for future use when the mind drags it out from the memory bank, replays it for an action to be taken on it.

It is always best that parents don’t have the audience of their children when making love.

If your house isn’t big enough, the child should be relocated to either the sitting room. If a room, a proper demarcation of the bed should be made from the rest of the room to give daddy and mummy some privacy when nature comes calling.

Good luck.
