Actually, I didn't. I said that I "bet" that you would feel differently if
things had been different.

That would be fine with me. But I think the "ickyness" that we feel when
considering our parents having sex is based on having sex be such a taboo
subject and our holding our parents out to be different from everyone else. If
we'd grown up watching them have sex, I think it would go a long way to
normalizing sexuality (which I _think_ would be a good thing) and removing our
icky gut reaction. But this is all guesswork on my part. I haven't tested the
theory to any real extent.
