Well obviously not since there are things called privacy and trust and trust is one thing that's hard to gain, but easy to lose. You can't prevent this anyway, so better use your energy and focus on educating him about the responsible use of condoms instead of catching him in the act.
Unless he's really young (like, 12) why the hell would you walk in if you thought that? Just makes you a bitch for 'knocking' as though you're being 'polite' before barging into someone's private space anyway.
My mother was the queen of barging in without knocking/waiting for a reply, it was so annoying. I don't care if it's your house OP, people have the right to their privacy, if you thought he was doing something wrong you could have spoken to him later. Not to mention if, he was in fact with a girl, you'd be invading her privacy too. I hope next time you're doing your business in a public toilet some stranger walks in on you with your pants down, see how you like to have your privacy invaded, because... YDI.
You're comparing a public toilet to a private home (which OP most likely owns)....where is the logic? Don't like people barging in the room that is paid for for you, then move out and pay for your own room.
35 is under the very unlikly impression that their son pays rent and owns the place too. yes a child should have privacy in their room, but if their parents do not allow them to have sex on their property then they have EVERY right to go in and stop it because until you have your OWN place then you have to abide by their rules, especially when youre possibley not an adult yet. (probably, fml never specified but im guessing the son wasnt an adult). and how can you even mention her privacy (the sons girlfriend), its definatly not her place and it was RUDE and disrespectful to do that in someone elses place who doesnt allow that. the fact that he wasnt having sex means op looks like an ass by barging in, but to be fair he seemed to honestly think that that was the case. if he barges in all the time for random things then what i said above doesnt apply as much and he needs to learn boundries and privacy. I personally wouldnt barge right in and see it, i would give them a second to dress

Show it anywayWow. I feel bad for your son. I wouldn't want my parents deliberately walking in on me like that, what the hell's wrong with you?
Everyone's hatin' on the parent here... Unless you try to understand it from a parent's perspective, you wouldn't understand. Maybe the son is underage? Maybe they have had a discussion about not having girls over, or no sex in the house. No parent, unless they are ok with the act, is going to just let the kid keep going.... I mean, yes, knock first and wait a few seconds! But not enough for the girl to maybe hide or slip out an open window.
I'd rather just knock on the door and tell him I want to talk to him later than walk in and see anything, over a certain age you really don't want to see your kid naked
So what you'd rather have your son or daughter hiding it having sex in a motel 6? Have fun with that
I agree with the we don't know the son's age. A teenager should have some privacy, but be realistic a parent is going to be fearful/nervous when their teen is sexually active especially with STD rates in the 25 and under group climbing. As well as teen pregnancy and all that stuff would you really wait for him to finish? My mom knew I was sexually active when I was 18, but made sure I understood the importance since my older brother's friend became a dad before his 18th birthday. A lot of teens will weigh risk vs reward quite the same way.
and the best way to handle that is walking in on them while they may be having sex? right...

That's really weird and I feel for you OP, but I gotta ask.... If you thought he was having sex in there, why would you walk in?
In his defense, beating your high score on Flappy Bird is almost just as pleasurable.
