Like if they walk in a see the parents doing it, and then the parents finally notice them, what do you say to the kids after.

My kids are still young so they don't understand. They did walk in on us one time and we told them we were wrestling under the sheets.

Well it depends, were they sticking around wondering what was going on until you and they were finally noticed? Just watching for a few seconds will just creep them out. If they were a young kid chances are they will have no clue in hell what was going on, they might guess that its something along the lines of kissing, but there's no way they'll understand sex drive and the need to get laid on a regular basis.
But chances are anyone in the 6th grade or above knows what sex is, and they have probably been told about it from their friends. It could also be a good opportunity to have the 'talk'.
You can always make it sound all nice, say its how you guys "show your love". But I never bought that BS when I was a kid, and your kid might not buy it either.
It makes more sense to ask them what they saw and explain to them that you guys were getting it on. Or you could just tell them not worry about it.

That what they saw is a very private thing that goes on between Mum and Dad - and next time they knock before barging in.
My kids were simply taught from the age of about 3 that if Mum and Dad's bedroom door was closed, they only came in if there was a crisis - and even then they were to knock. We never locked the door, just closed it.

It depends on the age of the kid.
Little ones could be scared, perceiving it as Daddy hurting Mommy (who was moaning or whatever). They need assurances that all is well, not explanation of what they saw.
Bigger kids need to know that a closed bedroom door means stay out, and that what the parents were doing isn't really any of their business.
Teens need to know in no uncertain terms that if they happen to stumble onto something so personal, they should immediately leave, not stay and watch.
Of course, parents with common sense lock the door, or romp when the kids are not at home.

Depends on if the kid knows about sex yet! If it does tell them it is a natrual thing for people to do! If not tell them about the birdys and bees and then tell them it is natrual!

depends how much they see or dont see, if they see you laying on top of each other kissing but with sheets over each other you just say your having a cuddle, if your sitting on him and all is exposed then... thats difficult.
really depends how old the kid is and how much they saw

Me and my husband wait till the kids are good and asleep and we lock our doors and then we check to make sure there locked. Or we wait till the weekend the boys usually stay the night with grandpa. I don't ever want to explain that to my children. I walk in on my mom and she never knew I don't want that for my children. It was bad I was only 6 at the time and it scared me.

Well first off you tell them that you are sorry you had to see this, but it is natural for a couple that is committed, married, and in love to have sex. Ask them if they have any questions about what they have just seen and answer them as best I could age appropriately of course.

You ask them what they saw, tell them that Mommy and Daddy were showing their love for each other in a very grown-up way, and that nothing is wrong. Tell them that they can ask any question they want to.
Next time, lock the door.
