This is an interesting area of health research. In addition to the examples you have given there is a lot of reasonably good quality evidence of children’s preferences in clinical environments. This often makes for f-ugly buildings containing happier children. You can’t have it all!

When I was in my SM our bedroom was downstairs and the kids rooms were upstairs so this wasn't an issue. Partly because of bedroom location and partly because there were so many other excuses. Now that ballofconfusion and I are together, we just quiet down a bit when we hear a kid coming down for a snack. There was a period at first when it was a bit weird, but where there is a will there is a way 😉

The kids might hear is only a libido killer when someone is already looking for an excuse to say no. If both partners are horny then excuses and reasons fly out the window.

Sex Sounds

The whole thought of designing for sex sent my mind reeling. Watch out! In fact, the term “sexual architecture” made me think of an old strip club near here, The Booby Trap. It has since been razed. Apparently, the city of Winter Park, Florida, goes to a great deal o effort to save houses from the early 20th century but wanted this classic demolished.
First, I agree with the architect Louis Sullivan, who coined the phrase “form follows function.” I am also a fan of Donald Norman, a cognitive psychologist who wrote “The Design of Everyday Things.” His ideas have been used by Apple in designing the original Mac. So, if we are designing for the function of sex, what do we want to include or remove? To me, sex is a form of communication between the participants. Unless I were an exhibitionist (I am not), I would probably want sound proofing so that not only the sounds the participants made stayed in the room, but outside sounds would not interfere with the experience. I love the sound of children but not when I am making love. Two things are important to me when I have sex: comfort and cleanliness. As romantic as sex on the beach sounds, sand on your privates can kill the mood. I speak from experience. At my age, I don’t go for the quickie outdoors. I’ll wait for a warm bed with soft sheets. I’m intrigued with some sex furniture designed for a range of positions. There is this yoga lounge: The sex swing looks like a lot of fun:
I don’t know what research to back this all up. I haven’t tried either. I guess I will have to research this further.

obobfla I'm on your same wavelength. For the design of the house, padded easy to clean materials like the new synthetic leather on window benches with the seat that places the occupant at standing hip height along with a pull out padded kneeler. In the shower, multiple grab handles and steps for adjusting height. Lots of morning and evening, golden hour natural light and lighting that easily dims with color changes for setting the mood along with soft back lighting.
