Coitus Interruptus
"One night, my husband and I were watching a movie in the basement. His parents popped down several times -- no big deal. So we ended up moving to his old bedroom nearby and were in the middle of having sex when we heard footsteps on the stairs. We figured it was someone coming to the basement for something, so we kept at it. As his dad rounded the corner from the stairs, he started asking my husband a question and kept walking right on into his room. He saw us and said, 'Oh, you're busy. Well, come talk to me when you're done.' And then he walked right back out as if nothing had happened. The horror!" -- Cathy
Body of Evidence
"The first time staying at my in-laws', I came down and said good night to them with my nightgown on. The next morning, I came down to breakfast with it on…inside-out. And, yes, they noticed." -- Julie
Full Frontal Nightmare
"My wife's parents gave us their bedroom while we were visiting them. One night, I was giving my sweetie a backrub by candlelight when her dad walked in to get something but failed to knock. I was so stunned that I froze -- stark naked and straddling my wife's butt. The next morning at breakfast, none of us could make eye contact, and the next time we visited, they put us in her sister's room." -- Kris
Scared Son-in-law
"One time we were fooling around at my parents' house upstairs in the guest bedroom, when my dad came home unexpectedly. We were at a point where we were kind of into it, and I was in the moment and said, 'Keep going!' so we could finish. Poor James* was just freaking out because my dad was in the house. Then we heard him heading upstairs, and James just couldn't go on -- it was too much of a buzz kill. I wish I could describe his face. He was so torn that he didn't know what to do. There was a good five seconds where I just watched about 400 different thoughts pass through his head, like Hmm…continue sex or get caught by her dad? We hurriedly got dressed, and I went to say hi to my dad. I mentioned that we'd been napping, which I’m sure totally gave us away, even though it didn't matter at all." -- Felicia
Crash into Me
"We went to stay at my husband's dad's house and were upstairs in a bedroom next to his dad and stepmom's. The first night we started getting it on, but we had to go really slow to make sure we didn't squeak the bed, which was actually pretty hot. I was holding onto the headboard for support, so I didn't move around, when all of a sudden, Randy* moved in a way that caused all of our weight to shift. The force of it caused the headboard to crash into the wall, abutting his dad's room about as loudly as a battering ram. It was the opposite of the effect we were going for." -- Madison
Porch Song
"One time at my husband's mom's house, we were having sex when we heard her pull into the driveway. He quickly finished, dressed, and flew outside to help her with the groceries. I'm not sure how, but he managed to drop the used condom on her front porch. As she was coming into the house, it stuck to the bottom of her shoe. She was like, 'What is this?' It was horrifying." -- Carrie
Little Helper
"My in-laws were visiting for the day, and my father-in-law got it into his head to get on his hands and knees to fix a leg on our couch. He came face-to-face with my vibrator, which was hidden there for some reason. So mortifying." -- Amy
Unfair Game
"One day as we were mid-sex on the basement couch at my wife's parents' place, her mom decided to come downstairs to demonstrate a new board game she thought we'd like. I couldn’t get my pants up fast enough, so I just pulled my mercifully long shirt down to my pants where I was sitting. Her mom sat down and began chatting with us as my pants were partway down, and I was, shall we say, still partially aroused.' -- Ryan
