Sex when you're a houseguest

My boyfriend “Alexander” and I are going to be visiting some close friends at their summer house next weekend. He really likes the idea of getting hot and heavy while we’re there; I think it’s rude to have sex at someone’s house when you’re a guest. What do you think?

Although some think it’s disrespectful to one’s hosts to have a private pleasure-fest in your room, I think it’s fine as long as you’re able to keep it completely secret. No moaning, no screaming, no running through the house naked. Lock the door, and use a towel to avoid stains or other tell-tale signs. If you bring toys, make sure you pack them up on departure. And definitely don’t mention it at breakfast, even in the most general or cute way—although your hosts may pick something up from the looks on your faces.

I do suggest, however, that you save your more complicated rites and rituals for the privacy of your own home, or for a hotel.
