i agree with the first response - i cant see how you can ask them to sleep in separate beds when she is 20.
buy them some rubbers and lube and ask that they at least practice safe sex. or kick her out your house.0 -

:cool:
I have no issue with sex (and like most people even enjoy a bit of it now and again ...).
Young adults having sex with their partners is fine, and not immoral if it really is a long term relationship (ie: a marriage!), however having multiple sexual partners is immoral IMO. - Old fashioned viewpoint I know, but thats me.
I know people don't agree with me, I accept that, but I'm entitled to my view!Weight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.0 -

bit of a expensive shag, especially when married. might as well keep it in your pants and wait till your home.
i quite enjoy doing it in a single bed anyway, keeps you closer afterwards, great if your a single bloke and active.0 -

Not worth the cost. It was our choice to stay there or not. She wasn't nasty with it, just her rules. We did have the option obviously to go elsewhere but like I say, didn't bother us.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0 -
I agree that it's your house and your rules, but your daughter is an adult. Is she paying rent?
I would have thought that an 18+ year old in a proper relationship should be treated like an adult when they're at home. It would, of course, be a different matter if they were bringing home a different boy every night, or if they were being particularly noisy, or were wandering naked around the house together - but if they were being respectful then I don't see the problem.0 -

Its not really about sex, since I've left home I've never felt any need to have sex in my parents home, even though I could have.
Its about standing up to parents who are treating you like a perpetual child. I bet they'd have re-assessed after a couple of trips where they didn't see their daughter as much.0 -
How come it's OK for parents to sleep in the same bed when their children are in the house? Won't someone think of the children?! Heaven knows what this kind of behaviour is doing to their delicate minds!0

As long as they keep the noise down I haven't a problem with it.I'm retiring at 55. You can but dream.0

I haven't read al the replies OP but I think your position is reasonable.
Your daughter can make her own decisions about who she shares a bed with once she is financially independent enough to have a roof of her own.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
