LMAO! I'm torn on what I'd do. Either take pictures and post them here for you all, video it and put it on YouTube and see if I can get some advertising income generated or if they seem very capable I'd take notes. If not - I'd offer suggestions while telling them to scoot over. Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

I wonder how many folks here have had sex in a public place (or anywhere they could have been seen by others). I'll go first..... I have! Well, where else are you suppose to have it -- especially if your parents won't let you have a boyfriend/girlfriend in your room? OK, maybe not a hotel swimming pool - but it's gonna be someplace vaguely public like a car or the back of the movie theater or the library or a classroom after school or the guys bathroom at school or ... oh jeez...

I'm with the others who would have laughed and moved on. I'd bring it to the attention of whoever's In charge is there were kids involved - ie the 11 year olds gawking and giggling over the scene from around a corner or over a fence or whatever. That's just rude behavior.

If it was in the day with kids around....mine, or someone elses, I would have reacted.
but at night.....I would have just left it.

If it was a place where children were around I would have let a manager know. If I wasn't worried about children being around I would have made one of the above comments, or just joke with my DH about doing a cannon ball in the pool and joining them.
and I am pleading the 5th on Steff's question.

What do people have against minding their own business? It's not in my nature? People are enormously entertaining.

If I hsd a boombox with me and saw the couple in the water, I would have played Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax song for them. One of my all time favorite songs!!! ETA: You have to know someone caught the act with cellphones, etc. Now they will be all over the internet. How about the name of the Resturant so we can all do a search maybe?

It's a good dance song especially when played loud with good amps.

Oh I don't know. If somebody was getting it on at 7:30 p.m. in the back yard that adjoined your house, and you had kids, wouldn't you call the police ? Or would you join in, getting it on in your own backyard ? I think that if there were kids around, or kids that could have seen it all from balconies, I would have notified the management. I think this is a different case than late night sex in a deserted cove on the beach.

Nope, I tried once and we ended up just giving up and going up to room. Never worked in hot tub either. Now sauna, another story.

We would probably just laugh and move on. I don't consider what the op did though as "causing a scene" from what was described.

I think cat calls were possibly in order, especially if the technique was being critiqued .

I would have asked if I could join in. You know that kind of behavior makes babies, right? I would probably have just pointed at HIM and laughed. But I'm mean that way.

One reason (of many LOL) not to do it "in public" today is the internet. I don't know if that couple thought they were more secluded than they realized or not, or if the fact that people might see them added to the thrill, but either way, I'm guessing they wouldn't want to be that week's viral video.
I have to agree with the OP's husband on this. Whatever that couple was doing (and yes obviously I think it's wrong to do that in public), the OP caused the fuss by calling out to them, and by encouraging the other woman (who was probably just standing there minding her own business) to go check on them so the OP could confirm that she was indeed right about what she thought she saw.
I would NOT have enjoyed a spectacle like that, but unless one party seemed to be being abused (and it doesn't sound like that was the case) I would have just continued on my way. I don't think I'd have found it funny, I'd probably have been rather disgusted.
I might not go back to that restaurant for dinner though LOL.

TD was at work a couple years ago and looked out his window to a couple having sex on the roof of the next building that was a floor below his window. He and a coworker watched or awhile, make comments about technique, then went back to work.

I have an honest question for those who say they'd have called the cops if they had kids with them.
If this scene was taking place during the day next to a daycare or a school, yes, obviously. But when my kids were younger and we saw things I didn't want them to see, I'd just cross the street / go in the other direction. (I live near a big city, sometimes they saw things I would have preferred they not see.) If they were old enough to have "picked up" on "whatever" and / or my discomfort with the situation, I'd answer their questions, honestly, but at an age-appropriate level.
But calling the cops on a scene like that, if you're out to dinner with your family / kids ... frankly I'm thinking it would probably be over long before the cops came, and that would require a LOT more explaining to the kids LOL ...
Unless of course Mom or Dad took the kids in the other direction, and the other parent called the cops. But that's probably not the typical way a "family night out" happens for most families. IMO it's easier to just chuckle and get out of there.
Yes, it's inappropriate, for sure, but on the other hand, at least they weren't hurting anybody. So many times people get injured, stabbed, shot, in public, yet nobody dares to call the police then.

All that grit/sand doesn't mix well with hot sweaty bodies Geeze, true confessions are just popping out all over.
