How did sex work in lower class, multi-generational households?

by zurbzurbzurb

Hey all,

Reading about the life and times of lower class Muscovite women and got to a passage that described their sleeping arrangements as basically the entire family just kind of snuggled up together in a single room. Presumably families need to expand, and to do that there needs to be some sex involved, so how did they make that happen when children and grandparents were likely in the same house (and specifically the same room?)
