If my mother knew I was having sex, and walked in anyway, I'd be really angry. I'd be humiliated and I'd probably move out at the nearest time. But, if she angrily knocked on the door, then punished and lectured me, it would be okay. I'd still be embarrassed, but embarrassment and humiliation are two different things.
I think the rule is acceptable, even if it is not something I particularly agree with, but the way that your mum dealt with the situation seems a bit too extreme for me.
But then again, I'm only a kid, right? *sigh*
