::chuckle:: Family-bed parents often compare (and giggle about) the various ways other people try to ask, without asking, where, exactly, sex happens. It's quite humorous, the ways people avoid asking what you just bluntly came out and asked :)
In our case it wasn't a problem since we actually had an adult bedroom; we just didn't normally use it. We even started to call it the Adult/Sex-Bed in the Sex Room. Except when we told friends they could sleep there, at which point it was referred to as the Guest Room.
From what I've gathered, most other family-bed parents get creative around the house, or, if the kids are small enough (we're talking babies here, not old enough to catch on to anything if they happened to wake up) just do it after the kids are asleep.
We were visiting friends of ours once, laughing about the various ways other people got uncomfortable about the subject, when one of them said, "I mean, hell, that's what the couch is for!"
::um...:: I thought, ::that would be the couch I'm currently sitting on... oh, man, that is a mental image I did not need::
