Is it acceptable to have sex when you're housesitting?

My husband and I are housesitting for his sister and brother in law while they are in Vegas for the week. The question is: is it okay to have sex while we're housesitting? My husband says no because we're guests in the house and it would just be weird, I say it's okay because we're staying in the guest bedroom and we would wash the sheets anyways after the week anyway.

What do you think?

  • I think the bigger question is what kind of man turns down sex?  No matter where it is!  I don't find this an issue as long as you wash the sheets.  I'd have a larger issue if it was in the master bedroom.  In all honesty no one would know anyhow, unless they have recording devices around the house!  Food for thought in a world where everyone has a video camera somewhere don't put it past someone you know to leave one running in that home you're watching.

    Maybe he just feels funny about having sex in somebody else's home. Even if you and he are the only 2 people in it.

    Me, I think it's fine.:)
  • I always have. As long as they are not there I see no issue with it.

     I agree with you. As long as you aren't having sex in their bed. I wouldn't care if the couple housesitting my house had sex in my guest bedroom while I was away.

    It sounds fine. IMO that's similar to staying at their house while they're there. But H and I have sex in my parents' guest bedroom when we visit and put the sheets in the wash before we leave.
  • Depends on where... do it in the shower!
