We have a cat but we just let him run free. If he's getting in the way he gets kicked out of the room though...
i can't offer much insight. my dog sleeps in our bed, but as soon as anything starts he gets down. his bed in kept in the hallway bc while we're having sex he HUMPS HIS BED. i can tune it out, but my SO insisted the bed be moved out of the room. yes, it's weird. but, if we try shutting the door he cries and scratches and makes a ruckus.
Well we have a cat, not a dog, but we just lock him out of the bedroom for awhile. Sometimes he sits outside the door and meows, but most of the time he takes the hint and just hangs out in the other room.
We have cat, and if we let him run free in the bedroom he thinks it's bedtime and tries to get in bed with us. He has jumped up on my husbands back before or tried to crawl in between us.
If we close the door to lock him out he cries and scratches at it. DH calls him little furry cock blocker!
My dog actually sleeps on my head at the top of my pillow. She can now sense when 'something is up' and jumps down before anything happens. She can just tell the mood. When she was a puppy though, she'd just continue to sleep on the pillow until I finally picked her up and put her on the floor. Boy that was awkward. I'd open my eyes and she'd just be staring at me 3 inches from my face. My dog never misses an opportunity to make out with a man, so once she even got in between us and gave him a kiss. We stopped that pretty quick. A threesome with my dog isn't what I call a dream of mine :)
Our dog has his "bedroom" that we put him in when we go to bed or leave the house, so even if we are just going to have a quicky in the afternoon he goes into his room... It freaks me out to have him there, he's like our kid.
Our poor kitty on the other hand, he loves to cuddle in bed with me at night and if FI starts making any moves the cat hides in the living room until we're done and I come get him (he's like a teddy bear, I can't sleep without him.)... It's like he's mortified.
That said, in college I took in a stray cat for a few weeks (until I found him a new permanent home, I wasn't allowed to have cats), and he was the cuddliest little thing ever (he was probably only 6 months old) and my boyfriend at the time came to stay the weekend and the cat wouldn't get of the bed (the cat was basically cuddled at my side) while we were doing it... The cat didn't care, it was the strangest thing ever and I almost pushed him off the bed because it was freaking me out so badly. lol
@ananeele: lol this cracks me up!! that is something my dog would do, he does that just when FI and I are cuddling on the couch!
^^ These made me lol. :)
We usually just kick ours off the bed and don't really worry about it. Our rescued pup has separation anxiety, so we can't really put him out of the room or he'll mark on the walls. :\ The other one will just wander to wherever he wants to sleep. They're old guys, so they don't try to jump on the bed anymore.
@piglover: Lol, furry little cockblocker!
I can definitely not see having the pets on the bed like most PPs said, but in the room and doing their own thing does not bug me. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I guess maybe DH will get used to it the longer we have him?
Our dog seems to know to leave the room. The cat on the other hand we have to physically remove from her semi-permanent cozy on the bed.
My dog sleeps in bed with us. Usually he just keeps sleeping at the end of the bed when we have sex. lol. Sometimes he gets in the way, and I'll put him on the floor, but usually he leaves us alone and we leave him alone.
Our dog has his big dog bed in our room. He's a lab so he always has to be near us. If we're in our bedroom, so is he. But he's super lazy and is asleep within seconds of laying down in his bed. He never seems bothered or pays us any attention. If he's on the bed and we start messing around, he usually gets down. I figure he doesn't know what's going on, and if he does...dogs aren't judgemental anyway :)
I will share one thing though: he does sometimes lay on the floor on either side of the bed when we first get into our room. Once he was laying on the floor and FI had me...hmm, how can I say this...bending over onto our bed. I was all caught up in the moment and when we finally moved from our standing (bending) position to get fully onto the bed, I realized I had been STANDING ON THE TIP OF HIS TAIL!! As soon as I picked up my foot he jumped up and left the room. I felt so bad. All I could think was how I had trapped him there (which, in reality, I probably hadn't) while we were doing that and I was standing on his tail. We laughed for days about what was going through his head: "okay, cooper. Just breathe. Go to your happy place. It won't last forever"
If we have "play time" at bedtime, we just let them sleep on their beds on the floor of the bedroom while we play.
If it's any other time, we run upstairs and close the door before they get inside. They always sit outside the door usually chewing the carpet :( until we're finished
The cat usually is somewhere else in the house, but sometimes, the dog will come into the room and lay on her bed on the floor. It doesnt' faze us. But, we just got a new dog this past weekend, and I'm not sure how he's going to react or what he's going to do...
Our cat gets shut out of the room. Otherwise she tries playing and jumping on the bed.
It's really funny because we dogsit all the time for our friends and once we came home after walking the dog and went downstairs for about 30 mins and when we came back up, she had somehow managed to rip apart everything in the trashcan and spread it evenly across the floor and squeeze out more poop and pee. It was actually hilarious because she weighs about 4 lbs and is the cutest dog you'd ever see.
And she doesn't sleep with us, so it's not like she's never left alone while we're home. I think she could tell what was going on and didn't like it so was acting out, lol!
our dog sleeps in our bed and is afraid to jump down by himself, and it doesn't bother us, he just goes to the foot of the bed and minds his own business ;)
If its on the day time my dog is roaming the house and doesn't interfere. At night he just sleeps and leaves us be. He is used to it, at first he would whine at us
Ummm, our three dogs are outside in the backyard the majority of the day, running, playing being yappy. All the fun stuff
Our animals sleep in the living room. This thread reminds me of something I seen on Facebook awhile ago. Something about wishing your pets could talk, but then realizing all of things you've done in front of your pets
Hahahaha I LOVE this question. If we do it kind've spur of the moment or more spontaneous...little guy is of course in the same room lol. He doesn't seem to be phased by it, maybe he's used to it by now?? lmao ;)
If it's planned like "hey lets go to our bed and do the deed" Little guy gets put in his room (laundry room) and then we go into our room. I guess he could run free in the living area but in the back of my head I'd be wondering if he's chewing on the carpet or eating something he shouldn't. So I just put him in his room. There has been many times where he sits on our bed during... LMAO. So crazy. But whatever...lol
With two cats and a dog we have this issue quite a bit... One cat disappears before anyone has even taken their clothes off (prude) whereas the other cat will just sleep on the foot of the bed no matter what is going on!
The dog is quite the comedian though... He just sleeps at the foot of the bed, free to roam the house and has been known to accidentally intefere... He has tried to eat toes that are hanging off the bed, sat up and started looking concerned at the noises, and once when he was still a young pup thought everyone was wrestling and he was missing out so he jumped up.
I vote... They're animals and they don't care, but don't think about it otherwise it feels weird :)
@piglover: Hahahaha furry cock blocker made me laugh. My dog does the same thing. 
My 3 dogs stay in another room on their own beds. They're allowed in bed for cuddles and naps, but not to sleep all night unless it's a special reason. So we don't have a problem there!
I couldn't have them in the same room though....it freaks me out. I had one dog who saw me and FH (he passed away a few years ago) and after that he started humping his bed too! It really weirded me out, so no more pets in the bedroom during sexy time.
I also have one with bad separation anxiety, but since he knows he has to "go to bed and get the cookie" every night, he is okay. During the day though, he is a room to room dog who follows me everywhere. My other boy would prolly just get depressed about the whole thing! And knowing my tzu, she would try and jump on the bed for kisses!!! Little weirdo LOL
I just keep the dog in the room, he usually just lays on the floor. He's a dog he doesn't know what's going on, and he certainly is not going to judge or tell anyone else about it. LOL
He stays in the room...we don't care. Sometimes he watches and when he stares for too long it gets a little weird so he gets yelled at. Then there are times, he gets super protective and starts barking because he thinks I'm being hurt haha
Our dog sleeps on the bed. We kick her down to the end to get her out of the way, and most of the time she leaves the room of her own accord, which I find hilarious. It's like somehow she knows we're having private time? Somehow she always knows when we're finished too, no matter where she's gone and no matter how loud or quiet we've been. About 10 seconds after we're done we'll hear her claws pattering up the hallway.
hmmmm...well our dog sleeps in the same bedroom and is usually quiet as a mouse. That is until I get into it and start making noise. Then the darl'in starts barking. Sigh...
Our dog sleeps in our bed, as well. He jumps right off when something is going on, and goes to sleep on the floor. He couldn't care less.
Hahaha, our pup is usually pretty good about it (he just wanders into another room) but there have been a few times where he's jumped on the bed and started giving one of us kisses. AWKWARD. So we just shut him out of the room during those times ha.
One time we were not paying attention to the dog and he got up on the bed and licked my naked butt in the middle of "fun time". It was seriously so awkward and totally killed the mood. I believe this was on Valentine's Day, to make the situation even better.
Since then I've learned a bone will keep him busy while we are getting busy. If I give him a brand new bone right before we start, he is golden and doesnt even notice. I would love to put him in another room and shut our door, but he has severe separation anxiety and he claws, barks, wimpers, and eventually pees himself if we shut him out of a room we are both in. sigh.
Umm honestly sometimes one is just chillin at the end of the bed and the other underneath the bed (weirdo). Otherwise we put them in the hallway with a babygate so they can't come in. lol
We have a cat and 2 dogs. The cat has his own room (our office), so he goes in there while we sleep and while were at work (he harasses the dogs in their crates when theyre in there), and while were having sexy time. The dogs go in their crates which are always in another room. There have been times where we get busy outside the bedroom, but its never been in the same room as the dogs crates or the cats room
@relaxedabout it: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Our dog sleeps on our bed, but we usually move him to the floor and remove the dog stairs to the bed (yes, he's spoiled) so he can't get back up. It's kind of creepy to me too, but I get over it.
We kick the pups out of the room and shut the door. The funny part is that when we're done and open the door back up they're just sitting right by the door and they just have this look like "I KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS JUST DID"
We have cats and they generally don't care. Sometimes when they think FI and I are having fun without them (haha) and one will come meowing for attention. A prompt nudge off the bed usually makes the point. =)
My cats are WAAAAY more concerned when FI and I play fight or if FI has made me laugh uncontrollably.

We recently adopted a dog, and we're both first-time dog owners. The dog sleeps in our room at night in his crate, with the crate door shut.
Well, since we got the dog, a somewhat strange issue has come up of "what to do with the dog when we want to get busy." I don't care if he's in his crate in the same room, but DH feels very weirded out by that. He won't do it if the dog is in the same room, even though he's crated and not, like, running around or yapping at us or anything.
I don't really get what the big deal is. The dog doesn't care what we are doing; he's usually just laying down, sleeping. It's not like he's watching and judging us. But yet, DH finds it freaky to have him in the room. So it's kind of making things a little awkward, because we have to either go pick up his somewhat heavy crate and move it to another room, or move ourselves to another room. Then, sometimes when he's crated but not in the same room as us, if he can hear us in another room, he whines. That definitely kills the mood, because then I feel sorry for the little guy, but if I let him out to run free while we're out of the room, he's liable to pee somewhere (he's a male, with some marking issues if you're not watching him carefully).
For you dog owners out there, what do you do with your dog in this situation?
