You do realise that they can have separate rooms? All the drama lama at telling a family member they can't go on holiday, what utter tosh!
I can't see me ever saying to DS that'll mess our sex life up, how ridiculous. I would say though, we are getting separate rooms this time, we can then all have our own space.
Waits for the cry of "but it's more expensive"!
OP says they book it as it's cheaper, the DS is now 20 and is it time to stop.... YES!
She did not say she wouldn't be able to afford it!
I agree that people have different priorities, but the utter contempt of couples wanting time for intimacy on a holiday is ridiculous.
A holiday away being compared to "i didn't have sex when my DM was dying, save your shagathon, the whole can't you control yourselves for a week"
It's almost like sex is an unsavoury thing and enjoying it is deemed like you have some of sort of issue.
Again, no one has said the DS can't come because mum and dad are going to be shagging all day everyday, they have said that they wouldn't want to share a room. We did all that when the DCs were young.[/quote]
You're far more contemptuous of people having a priority for holiday that isn't sex though. It's perfectly fine to not take the adult children on holiday. To get their own room. To tell them to pay. But there's also nothing weird or odd or wrong with adults sharing a sleeping space even if one of those is a couple.
They do it because it's cheaper so either they can't afford the more expensive option or they are all sufficiently comfortable physically that it's worth the saving.
Presumably if there was burning resentment over a lack of sex or masturbation they'd make other plans
