Uh no. He follows us wherever we go so.... No. I don't think I'd be able to enjoy myself with an older kid downstairs either. I'd be too worried. I'm not turned on by the possibility of being caught. I can maybe see doing it if the kids are outdoors, since if they come inside unexpectedly there should be lots of time to hear them.
We have a few times. DSs are 7, 5 & 1. Sometimes, when DS3 is napping, we'll turn on a movie for the other 2 & sneak upstairs. They don't even notice we're gone.
But it never would happen if DS3 is awake, he still needs constant supervision.

Yes, but only if he's locked in his room. We have a video monitor and his room is babyproofed. I would not trust him roaming around the house. He would probably come looking for us.
Nope. C is all over us all the time, and SS is too unpredictable. Even if he's reading in his room or something we can't trust that he won't come up to ask a question or something.
No, 5 minutes after we left her alone she would be calling for us, or trying to hunt us down. We usually try for naptime, but sometimes she wakes up and hearing her call for us just kinda ruins it for me. Maybe once #2 gets here and they entertain each other it might be a possibility.

The very first time we had sex pp, L was 6 weeks old and was awake. He was in the bouncy seat and we put it in the hallway outside our room, turned away from us and left the door open. It certainly wasn't the greatest sex but it worked. At that point, he only slept on one of us so waiting for him to fall asleep wasn't an option. I was cleared for sex on a Wednesday and H left (for 6 months) the following Saturday so we were desperate!
DD1 was a way easier kid than DD2 is...we used to put on an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and then sneak away from DD1. I don't think it would work with DD2, if she's awake, she wants to be sitting next to me, lol...
Oh, and DH is 10 years older than his siblings. His parents like to tell the story that every afternoon they would send him out to play basketball in the backyard, and that when the dribbling stopped they would get nervous, and have to "hurry up". OMG I can't believe I just typed that lol
Nope, like you said I can't concentrate when she's awake. It's either during nap, when she's asleep at night or if DH works from home one day and DD is at daycare.

No, and I do not anticipate a time when I would ever get comfortable enough to have sex when they're awake because I would be too afraid of her/them knocking on the door or something.
Plus, and I am shuddering thinking about this right now, but I totally realized as an adult when my parents were having sex while we were awake. No awkward moments at the time but even thinking back in hindsight I'm all OMG WHY COULDN'T YOU WAIT UNTIL NIGHTTIME SO I'D THINK WE WERE PRODUCTS OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION???

Funny you should ask... We got home from the apple orchard today and put M down for a nap but the bugger wouldn't sleep. He was happy in his crib so it didn't stop us. I think that's the first time that's happened though.
