I guess it depends on your background. My house was sort of under Nazi rule; I was not another person, I was a detainee or something. So, this would have been typical of my parents --- I had no private or personal space. My husband's family treated him as a person from day one, and it certainly leads to a different family dynamic, even now.
To those who suggested that the sis should have tried discussing sex with the parents rationally --- if her parents were anything like mine, that so could not ever happen. I couldn't discuss the weather with mine without having ridiculous insults and accusations hurled at me. Sometimes the opportunity for dialog is just not there.
Your sis terribly disrespected your Mom's rules and wishes --- but it wouldn't have hurt for your Mom to be a little more discreet. It's much easier to respect (and obey) a parent who doesn't go out of their way to hurt and embarass you. It may have been within her rights, but perhaps not the best decision as far as a relationship with her daughter goes.
