Well, in that case, with no young kids present, I personally wouldn't feel uncomfortable with the situation. I'm guessing that maybe, as you suggested, you are having somewhat of a difficult time accepting that she's all grown up and in a sexually active relationship. I know -- I've been there with my "baby" cousin who is 13 years younger than me. She'll always be that adorable baby girl I used to babysit and have watched grow up into an extraordinary young woman. She's 30 now and just got married. Back when she was in college, I had her over to visit and she brought her boyfriend at the time and they stayed in our guest room. It definitely was an adjustment for me, but at the same time I was so happy for her because she was very much in love and very mature in her choices.
