I couldn’t help but post this story about older couples having to sleep in separate beds while visiting home. I’m 22 and my girlfriend is 21, we’re both adults, and we spend every night together (usually at her place because mine is scary), but we sleep in separate beds while visiting my parents. I don’t fault my parents for this. I think they’d be OK with us sleeping in the same bed as long as some respect was shown, which makes sense. But, the topic hasn’t come up so it remains status quo as of now.

I think that a lot of the people quoted in the story would find most parents would be fine with it as long as one simple ground rule was followed: No sex. I don’t think that would be such a horrible request.
