Why should erections be a no-no?  My little boy gets them all the time.
Why should I hide mine?

Maybe some people think we are weird, but my wife and I have always
walked around the house almost nude (except when it is cold or hot and I'm
smelly and sweaty), and the kids do the same (except for diapers).  Not that
we make a big deal of it, just that I'm too lazy to get dressed lots of times.

Of course we "shape up" to social expectations when we have company, etc.
Regarding relatives and friends, it seems that our degree of closeness
and openness with them is inversely related to the minimum amount of
clothing we feel required to wear in their presence.  Minimal for our family,
underwear only for my wife's parents, full clothing except shoes for my
parents, etc.  (I NEVER NEVER NEVER wear a suit and tie for ANYBODY.)

Other kinds of sex: kissing, hugging, cuddling -- sure, we do that in front
of and with our kids all the time.  That's what life is all about.
Intercourse: can't say.  The opportunity just hasn't arisen yet.  (We love
each other dearly, just don't seem to get around to screwing too often.)
