Well, the kids should be shielded from it, for sure.
But parents and old people? Hey, if they haven't seen it yet, they gotta see it sometime.
A short Rupert Story™:
When I was in my early 20's, a buddy an I were dating sisters, gals we went to high school with. We were out, the four of us, for a day, and evening around town. After dinner we went down to the waterfront, to a popular beach spot on Port Gardner. The place was nearly deserted, save for an other pair of couples, a little older than us, maybe in their late 20's, early 30's. They had a fire going on the beach, and we said hi to them and walked about 50 feet further along the waterside, and built our own fire.
As was common then, we had some beer, and a little "somethin', somethin'", wink, wink. We sat there by the fire, drinking and enjoying each other's company. The other couples were drinking wine, and also enjoying a little "somethin', somethin'".
I was dark, but you could still see a bit.
Suddenly, my girl shrieked and pointed at the pair of couples not far up the beach from us. "Look!" she exclaimed, "Those people are having sex!"
I told her to calm down and suggested we should follow suit.
"That's gross!" she retorted, and her sister joined in, with, "Yeah! Gross!".
Then they said they wanted to leave, so we doused the fire, and walked back up the beach to our car, passing right by the other couples, who barely paid us a glance. Someone said to us, "Why, you don't have to leave on our account."
I laughed, because we went back t the girl's parent's house. Their dad had a country music band, and every Friday and Saturday was playing at a local country and western bar, so we always had the house to ourselves.
And I don't think I have to explain what we did while their parents were away for the evening, but for sure we could have done it on the beach just like the pair of couples we saw there that evening.
