how can i get my parents to stop doing this (long story but please take the time to read it) ?
well, everyone's parents like to keep that fire in them but some parents are smart and wait until the kids aren't home. But i have a problem, my parents don't wait until i'm out of the house, and i'm not home plenty of times. And they only do it on mondays or tuesdays because those are the days that my mother doesn't work. And i have a hard time falling asleep so i'm still awake when i hear "it" going on in their bed room. One time i was tired of always having to hear it that i banged my hand on my head board in hopes that they would realize that i'm awake and that i know what's going on.
Also, i'm 14 and at this age everyone is thinking about s*x, but i find s*x kind of gross because of my parents, but don't worry i know 14 is no age for having s*x, i don't want to do it any time soon.
So my question is, what can i do that will give then a hint that i'm still awake (unfortunately) when they have s*x? But i don't want to just go up to them and say, i heard what you guys did last night, because i respect my parents but i'm scared of them at the same time.
Thanks in advance to anyone who took the time to read my super long story

Put on some music and turn it up lol.
My parents got divorced and once remarried I heard it at both houses, it was so gross!
If I were you I would just talk to which ever parent you feel most comfortable with. Or say something like, did you guys hear that noise last night and act innocent about it, maybe they will get the hint.

If there's a stair case in your house and your room is on the top floor, go down stairs That'll kind of make some noise. Open the fridge and get a can of soda and open it, because soda's are kinda loud. Turn on a TV or something. Or get a friend to call your house and let it ring for a while, act like you're lazy and shout to your parents "THE PHONE IS RINGING"

You should be grateful they are still happily together, but do not try to change it, just move your room around, put your bed on a different wall, play music on your radio and if this doesn't work for you, ask your parent you are closest too if he or she could help you figure out why you are hearing such weird noises sometimes, they may figure it out on their own. Act naive and let them save face at first, but if they do not take care of it, really do mention it to them...

be loud, go into to the kitchen and go banging around the pots "trying to find something" stomp around the house. maybe if they notice you are awake they will wait.
i understand you don't want to talk about it to them so just say something like i couldn't sleep all last night i had a headache so it doesn't not make things weird but they understand you can hear them.

Just be glad that they still love each other enough to want to be together. With the divorce rate as it is now a days and all that. Maybe ask them to keep it down and that they are keeping you up at night?

Just stick your ipod headphones in your ears while you're going to sleep and try to mind your own business. That's what I had to do at your age ('cept it was a walkman not an ipod lol)...and it wasn't even my mum and dad, it was my mum and her horrible boyfriend.

I say good on your parents!
There's nothing you can do, if they want to have sex, they are going to have sex. It's not like they're doing it in the middle livingroom and you could walk in on them.
Get ear plugs, or put in earphones when you hear them, but don't ask them to stop.

maybe if you turn your television up full blast they'll hear and stop
but the best thing is mostly to confront them but not be rude or have attitude
