“Almost 50 years ago at a time when women were divided into ‘sluts’ who enjoyed sex and ‘good girls’ who saved their virginity for their future husbands” — oh, the damage this viewpoint has done over the years! I’m sorry you grew up hearing that so much, because it’s neither biblical nor beneficial to marriage.

But I do find it curious that you ended up with “it never occurred to us that as a married couple we should not have nightly sex.” So then your wife enjoyed sex? Isn’t that the criteria you used for “sluts”? There’s a disconnect there somehow I’m trying to gasp…

Culturally and historically, plenty of families had a single room for everyone. In some time periods, families even shared housing, such as in tenements. As odd as it may seem to us, in our culture, a married couple having sex in the same room with their children or other relatives, possibly hidden behind something, was not that unusual. While, again, it may seem weird, that certainly wasn’t immoral, wrong, or sin. How else were they to procreate?

Likewise, having sex in one room while another couple is in another room isn’t immoral, wrong, or sin. We should do what we can to keep that activity private between spouses, but the mere happenstance of it isn’t wrong. I don’t know why you’d think it is. Based on what biblical principle?

is it immoral, wrong or sin to make love in one room while another couple make love in another room? don’t you think it’s weird?

Hospitality does include making your guests feel welcome. So it would be nice to avoid making sounds that would make guests feel uncomfortable. I’d attempt to be quiet, but if they accidentally heard something, that’s okay.

My husband and I don’t care about “love sounds”.

Is it morally wrong to make love in one room (making sounds) while the guests make love in another room (making sounds, too)?

Thank you.

Nice! Thanks for reading.
