I can't believe I totally missed the part about parents/in-laws.
I never had sex with my own parents around because I've never spent the night at my parents' place with someone else (I don't spend the night there very often).
But I've spent the night at my first husband's parents' place, including a couple of months of living with them when we were looking for a new place, and I lived with my second husband's mother for a few years until she died, so I've had experience with sex when in-laws are around.
Typically... I just don't really care. They know we have sex. I will not scream or walk around naked or holding sex toys or whatever if they're likely to see me, but other than that, I'm not going to change anything.
The first time was pretty exciting, because we were just visiting my in-laws, and it was a different bed, and well it's a bit like when you're in a hotel, it's just different and exciting I guess? And the idea we might get caught only made it better in a way.
Then it just was normal. When I was living with my second mother-in-law, it was my place and my bed, and so there was nothing exciting about it. Her room was facing ours and I guess she might have been able to hear sometimes, although I think she probably never did because she always watched shows super loudly (which predates my moving in with my husband, so it's not like she did it in order not to hear us).
She knew we were doing it but I never felt awkward or embarrassed about it. I never talked about it explicitly either.
I think if you're in your own place (as in, you contribute to it, etc), it's very different than when you're still living at your parents' place (rather than with them). There is an idea of "it's my place, I have sex if I feel like it" vs "it's their place, they might require me to keep it in my pants or if I get caught they could potentially kick me out or something".
But I was always an adult when things like that happened (I moved out of my parents' place before I first had sex) so I never had to worry about it I guess.
